Quote:

“NBA 2K is where it’s AT! End of story,” said Garnett, who is currently playing in the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. “It’s the game I play, the game my friends play, and the game anyone in the league serious about videogames plays. NBA 2K is the real deal, and until 2K Sports find a way to plant an elbow in your chest, it’s the closest thing to actually being there on the court. I can’t tell you how pumped I am to be on the cover of NBA 2K9 – it’s a real honor. Now watch out! Because this fall 2K Sports and I are going to deliver the best basketball video game out there, period.“

The Big Ticket is very enthusiastic

That's a hard quote he spoke. Kind of like what I was trying not to think. I still have hope that EA will rise from the ashes to at least make me feel the desire to spend $120 (or less on ebay). Closest thing to realism.

Great choice by 2ksports.

They have really been on point the last 2 years with their cover athlete.

Last year CP3, who really blew up this past season.

And this year, NBA Champ KG!

Here's hoping that they continue to produce the high quality NBA experience with NBA2K9.

I hear that. Live's cover athletes on the other hand haven't done so hot.

T-Mac - injuries
Gilbert - injuries
