NBA 2K11 Cover Athlete Michael Jordan, Confirmed

I wonder if that means exclusive rights on all the Air Jordan stuff to 2K. I remember seeing the Air Jordan logo in Live 10 too, not to mention all the shoes...
If 2K could get the AJ exclusively, it would be nasty and yet great marketing.

He's the best ever.. this is awesome to see him on a front cover of a current gen bball videogame. I was fortunate enough to have seen Jordan play at the stadium many times and i also witnessed a last second shot by jordan that won a playoff game which i was there on the 8th row, its something i will never forget..it was simply magical. I live near chicago so im so stoked to see him on the cover of 2k. Man everyone in here were very lucky to live this generation while the best basketball player in history played out his career..

Too bad that 20 years from now, MJ will be like what some youngsters think about Bill Russell: "Yeah, heard his name, but who cares about him, he's just an old guy".

It's already almost that bad, just look at all these youngins that think Kobe is on MJ's level. And those real insane ones who think Kobe is better.

True.. some young guys have no clue about the godlike ability of Jordan, im a big Kobe and Lebron fan, but MJ is the greatest that has ever played, past and present. This is huge for 2K to have him in the game, people crying about why Lebron or someone else on the cover should learn to bow before the greatness of Jordan and learn there basketball history.

I think it has to do with the fact that, if they believe MJ's the best ever then it invalidates their generation and robs them of greatness. I think it's more about subconscious delusion as it is anything else. They want to have their OWN Jordan, even if it means making him up.

The only people who witnessed MJ during his career and DON'T think he's the greatest are some Laker fans and bitter haters (Utah/NY fans etc.).

Some of these young cats have no clue about the great players before Jordan.(Wilt, Oscar, Russell, Kareem, etc.). For me, Wilt will always be the GOAT.

You know you're old when...

But seriously... you're 100% right. Any longtime Knicks fan can attest to his greatness. Ugh.
