NBA Summer League 2K13

Welcome to the NBA Summer League 2K13 Thread!

This roster is for the Xbox 360

Sportzfan0290 will also be working on this roster with me (This roster is continued from the thread Sportzfan0290 made originally)!

This roster will include:

All 31 NBA Summer League Teams and Rosters - From the Philadelphia 76ers to the NBA D-League Select Team, All of the Summer League players and teams will be on this roster and accurate!

Head Coaches and Staff Completely Updated - All head coaches and staff will be updated as up to the date of the release of the roster.

All Jerseys as Accurate as Possible - All teams are wearing their practice jerseys, I also, successfully modded the Hornets practice jerseys to have the Pelicans CAT logo and correct jersey colors. I also, made a CAT jersey for the D-League Select Team and put the HIDDEN D-League logo on it, with the correct colors (Credits to Jaosming from the NLSC for help with that, and credits to MarvinOida for the helpful hints he gave to me about this).

Orlando and Las Vegas Summer League Arena - There are two arenas the Orlando Summer League Arena (Orlando Magic Practice Arena) and the Thomas & Mack Center (Summer Circuit Arena). All teams that played in the Orlando Summer League (Nets, 76ers, Magic, Pistons, Jazz, Heat, Celtics, Pacers, Rockets, and Thunder) are assigned to the Orlando Summer League Arena. All teams that played in the Las Vegas Summer League (The other 20 NBA teams, and the D-League Select) are assigned to the Thomas & Mack Center.

Pelicans in Correct Alphabetical Order - I managed to get the Pelicans in correct alphabetical order, so they are under the Pacers and above the Pistons like they should be.

FranchisePlay's Rookies - I decided to NOT go with cyberface look-a-likes and just take FranchisePlay's 2013 Draft Class from the 2K Share (which is highly accurate) and use those rookies for our roster.

Hope you guys are excited for NBA Summer League 2K13!

ETA: 3-4 weeks from today (July 24th)

Need Help with CAPS - As many of you guys may know, many of the Summer League players do not have a cyberface on disc and are not on the 2K Share, I am asking anyone to make anyone from any of the Summer League Teams and upload them to the 2K Share for me, and when you do leave a post on this thread stating that you made a CAP for this player, and I uploaded him to the 2K Share and giving me your gamertag so I can download this player onto our roster! Remember the more CAPS you guys create, the less I have I have to create and the shorter amount of time it will take for this roster to be released!

Where I'm at With the Roster Right Now - Right now, I am waiting for Sellaz32 who so kindly agreed to transfer the rookies from FranchisePlay's Draft Class into our roster for me, since I don't have the headshapes tab. When Sellaz sends me the file back with the rookies on it, then I have to start on making all the CAPS (hopefully some people make a CAP for me and put it on the 2K Share like I asked) for the players that are not on disc and not on the 2K Share, and then assemble all the teams. Other then that everything else is completed!

Summer League: Harris überzeugt

Elias Harris hat das letzte Summer-League-Spiel seiner Los Angeles Lakers noch einmal genutzt, um auf sich aufmerksam zu machen.

Bei der 77:83-Niederlage der Lakers gegen die Golden State Warriors kam Harris in 30 Minuten auf einen persönlichen Bestwert von 17 Punkten. Dabei traf der 24-jährige Nationalspieler sieben von 13 Würfen aus dem Feld, darunter zwei von fünf Dreipunktversuchen.

Topscorer bei Los Angeles war Lester Hudson mit 18 Zählern. Für die Warriors trumpfte einmal mehr Kent Bazemore groß auf und markierte starke 26 Punkte.

Durch die Niederlage im Viertelfinale ist das Vorbereitungs- und Sichtungsturnier in Las Vegas für L.A. beendet. Die Warriors spielen am Sonntag gegen die Charlotte Bobcats um den Einzug ins Finale.

Harris kam über die fünf Partien in der Summer League auf einen Schnitt von 10,2 Punkten. Mit seinen soliden Leistungen wahrte er trotz der Nichtberücksichtigung beim Draft am 27. Juni seine Chancen, doch noch von einem NBA-Team unter Vertrag genommen zu werden.

No More Summer Hair Disasters! 11 Braids to Master Now

From fishtails to milkmaid braids, these braided hairstyles are as easy as they are adorable

Getty Images

Super fun and incredibly easy, braided bangs like Busy Philipps’ not only look adorable, they prevent a sticky summer fringe. To DIY, loosely plait front strands following this French-braid how-to, and then give them a soft tuck behind your ear, setting with a bobby pin.

Jason Merritt/Getty Images

Taylor Swift modernizes her braided crown with a blunt, high-shine fringe. Give hair a break from heat styling and smooth just your bangs with a dryer and round brush. Then braid two pigtails with remaining damp strands, draping them to meet at your center part and securing with two crisscrossing bobby pins.

Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage/Getty Images

Bella Thorne dresses-up a fishtail braid with interwoven blue and green ribbons. First, tie the end of each ribbon onto a single clear elastic hair band. Next, gather hair into a ponytail and secure with the elastic, allowing the ribbons to trail at the back. Follow this DIY diagram to fishtail braid, intertwining the fabric while alternating thin sections of hair. Trim the ends of the fabric to meet the length of your braid and finish with another clear elastic.

Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic/Getty Images

This halo braid on Keke Palmer is more angelic than Heidi, thanks to soft bangs and some loose, face-framing strands. Create two braided pigtails and tuck the braids under one another atop your part. Secure in place with crisscrossing bobby pins.

Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic/Getty Images

Textured volume and height set Selena Gomez’s braid above the rest. Treat roots with a volumizing spray then tease with a comb. Pull stands back into a high ponytail and secure with bungee elastic. Braid through the length, loosening up some strands to mimic this same messy finish.

Vincent Sandoval/WireImage/Getty Images

Three cornrow braids paired with streaming textured waves on Carmen Electra are equal parts sexy and practical. Spritz hair with salt spray and twist strands to create loose waves. Braid three small sections rows on one side, just above your ear and tight to your scalp. Sweep non-braided hair over to the opposite side. 

Getty Images

Diane Kruger’s braided updo looks polished on even the stickiest of summer days. Treat hair from mid-length to ends with a frizz-fighting shine serum, then create two pigtail braids, looping each over your crown to meet at your part. Secure on top with two crisscrossing bobby pins.

Getty Images

Amanda Seyfried’s slicked-back braided chignon is a sturdy, low-maintenance style fit for high heat. Mist strands first with hair spray and comb through. Pull hair back into a high ponytail and tie with a bungee elastic. Braid the tail and wrap the length around to meet at the nape of your neck, securing with a few hair pins.

Rachel Murray/Getty Images for NYLON

Songstress Eve opts for an effortless, stay-in-place side braid that's ideal for sunny days. To get the look, gather hair into a side ponytail. Braid through the length and secure. Trick of the trade: Use a bobby pin to pull out and loosen up some strands from the braid to soften the look.

Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic/Getty Images

January Jones’ sophisticated, multi-layered braids look complex but are easy to duplicate — try on damp strands when it’s too warm to blow dry. Loosely braid two front sections and wrap them around the crown of your head to meet in the back. Secure with bobby pins so that your hair is half-up. Create a few mini braids with remaining hair, twisting them up to meet the other section and pin in place.

Steve Granitz/WireImage/Getty Images

Hit the beach then play-up your salt and wind-kissed texture with a tousled braid inspired by Kristen Stewart. At home, get the look by spraying dry shampoo from roots to ends, then twisting and separating strands with your fingers to create texture. Pull hair to rest over your shoulder and braid, securing with a clear elastic. Check out this 1-minute video for an easy how-to.

Short-Shorts in the Office & More NSFW Summer Looks

Here's how to go from hot mess to down-to-business with office-appropriate adaptations of the summer styles you wish you could wear to work

By Michele Laufik - June 6, 2013

NSFW Look #1: Flip Flops
We’ve all wanted to pull a Peter Gibbons from Office Space and stroll into work wearing flip-flops, a Hawaiian shirt and a who-cares attitude. But then we remember we have credit card bills. Sigh. So save the plastic dime-store thongs for the pool if you want to keep the paychecks rolling in. Instead, upgrade to a luxe-looking leather sandal with chunky straps or a cute peep-toe wedge in a pretty print. If your office has a closed-toe shoe policy, try a colorful sling-back heel.

NSFW Look #2: Strapless
Do you commute to work on roller skates? Then don’t squeeze into a tube top or risk a wardrobe malfunction with a strapless dress. Rule of thumb: if you can’t wear a standard bra with it, you probably shouldn’t wear it to the office. Layer your look instead, topping a fitted shift dress with a blazer that you can remove on lunch breaks and after-hours.

NSFW Look #3: Beach Bag
Your work bag shouldn't serve double duty as your shore catch-all. After all, you don’t want to be sprinkling sand all over your desk or harboring hermit crabs in your file cabinets. If you like bag that's big, try a structured tote in a light colored leather. It’ll work well with your cheerier seasonal looks and make the morning drudgery seem slightly more bearable.

NSFW Look #4: Tank Tops
Casual ribbed tanks are best left for the gym and the BBQs this time of year. An easy safe-for-work swap? The sleeveless button-down. Worn with a classic pencil skirt or a skinny ankle-length pant, the look is effortlessly cool. But keep a cardi at the ready to cover up if you have a last-minute meeting or to combat that freezing office AC!

NSFW Look #5: Low-Cut Anything
You don’t want to smother the girls in this sweltering heat or suffer from unfortunate under-boob sweat, but allowing your cleavage to breathe in a revealing V-neck top or spaghetti-strap dress might earn you some HR finger-wagging. A flowy, silk bohemian blouse or tunic in a graphic print or floral pattern offers the breath of fresh air you need, without suffocating your chances of a promotion.

NSFW Look #6: Short Shorts
Eh, just no. Unless your office is a Hooters restaurant. Instead, slim, knee-length Bermudas worn with a blazer offer a tropical take on the suit. Or pair them with the aforementioned sleeveless shirt and espadrilles for an almost-at-the-beach, casual-Friday ensemble.

NSFW Look #7: Crop Tops
Midriff-baring crop tops are awesome for summer music festivals. Not so much for weekly staff meetings. That doesn’t, however, mean that showing a slice of skin has to be tawdry. If done correctly you can wear subtle keyhole necklines, laser-cut overlays or dresses with a bit of an open back.

NSFW Look #8: Minis
It's tempting to want to flaunt your toned and tanned legs 24/7 during the summer, but short skirts and mini-dresses need to be reserved as weekend-only wear. A timeless shirtdress in chambray or a bright color will provide just the right amount of thigh coverage and appear professional without looking stuffy.

NSFW Look #9: Tight Everything
There's something about the heat that makes a few working girls dress like they're starring in an American Apparel ad — all Spandex and Lycra. Instead of going tight, look for clothes in woven fabrics that skim rather than squeeze the life out of your figure.

Summer Hairstyles That Won't Fall Flat? We Found Them!

Mad Men's resident vixen, Christina Hendricks, incorporates lots of long layers into her curly bob, which prevents the hairstyle from feeling bottom-heavy. For similarly soft waves, curl 2-in. sections using a medium-shaft iron, alternating direction from section to section.

Super Cute Fashion Risks You Need to Be Taking This Summer

Summer's coming, and that means it's time to bust out of your demure shell and get to risk taking. Here are fashion and beauty trends that you can absolutely pull off this summer.

By Alesandra Dubin - June 4, 2013 Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic, Anita Bugge/WireImage

Here's why crop tops are wearable right now (unlike the ones you might remember from the last decade they were popular): They don't bare that much. Think more a peek of rib cage than a bra-to-hip reveal.

Jonathan Leibson/WireImage, Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images, Steve Granitz/WireImage

Cutouts are omnipresent on red carpets these days, and you can get the celebs' right-now look with even a sweet keyhole at the bustline or flash of waistline.

Rob Kim/FilmMagic, Earl Gibson III/Getty Images, D Dipasupil/FilmMagic

You could go full Gatsby by wearing an all-fringe dress for an evening out, or just dip your toe into the trend with a bit of the stuff on a swimsuit or handbag.

The great thing about lace is its versatility. Dress up with a full lace gown, or pair a pretty top with a denim jacket for everyday gorgeousness.

FameFlynet, Inc.

We love the trend of mismatched two-piece swimwear for its total cost effectiveness: Try a fun combination of two suits you've worn in past seasons — et voila! A totally updated beach-ready masterpiece.

Look crazy pulled-together in this classic color combo that gets a summer update in sweet frocks and lightweight pants.

David Livingston/Getty Images

You don't have to go crazy with nail art to make a very on-trend statement. Try a mani in a fun color, with a contrasting hue on each ring finger for attention-grabbing accent nails. Tres chic!

Taylor Hill/FilmMagic, Kevin Mazur/WireImage, Jim Spellman/WireImage

If you're into conjuring crazy '80s excess, fear not: Updated for this season, neon makes a bold statement in little pops of color on shoes, belts, and clutches. Head-to-toe commitment isn't necessary, but it is fun, especially when applied to a pretty frock!

Jason Merritt/Getty Images for GLAAD, Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images, Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic

So gorgeous, so you — yes you! Anyone can wear this look, which is also easy to maintain since the color doesn't begin at the roots.

Donato Sardella/WireImage, NCP/Star Max/FilmMagic, Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic

From colorful frames and lenses to wacky shapes, statement sunglasses are both totally on-trend -- and also a perfect way to get the sun protection you already needed for your eyes this summer.

Beat the Heat with a Summer Crop! Which Look Do You Like Best?

Jennifer Lawrence’s beachy bob is also red-carpet ready. She opts for sunny ombré highlights and controlled texture that shines with a glossy finish. Use a dry shampoo on ends first, twisting strands into loose ringlets, and finish the style with a misting of satin hair spray.
