Does anyone know how to access the hidden, playable characters in the game? I've heard many things, from entering certain names (e.g. "Celtic Pride" for Larry Bird) in the "Create Player" screen, to amassing 30 assists, 20 rebounds, 15 steals, etc. on Superstar/Season mode. Nothing seemed to work. The only player I was able to unlock was Michael Jordan, by beating him in the One-on-One challenge. How do I get everyone else, e.g. Isaiah Thomas, Larry Bird, etc.?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
