But thats like saying the league's future best player isn't important enough. Though Durant's not Jordan now doesn't mean he can't reach him or pass him in the future. You remember how Jordan views Adidas for how they thought about him, you don't want that with Durant.

true, but I don't believe it was much as an investment for durant as it was with jordan..

Durant was literally just a cover and very few few minor work.

Jordan expect his legacy to be branded in a video game.

huge difference. I'm sure ea was not even looking to sign durant long term.

Comparing shoes to video games are apples and oranges. Next year, they are just going to get someone else.

Unlike shoes or anything, Durant has no stock in ea. Jordan's chips are all in, in both games. Huge difference.

Durant Braced elite 11, and it tanked, no one cares. MJ gets the cover of nba elite 11, its canceled, now EVERYONE would care. Because it makes sense.



I find that so Odd, Kobe NBA 07, NBA 09, and NBA 2k10

You're right, but it sounds like it meant a lot to Durant. Just in case, they need to make sure there are no hard feelings between each party.

I think the journalist or author is playing it up alot more than durant is. I think he's disapointed somewhat. I mean who wouldn't be if you're on the cover of a game? Lol, that's your game! But he knows what they got to get it right.

I do agree, they do need to reach out to him.

Ain't that the truth. I wonder what were his exact thoughts after playing both demos

Fact... guys on this board can say and defend whomever but the bottom line is... you never know what goes on if your not there but we do know the cover athlete surely... was not contacted. If I were Kevin I would have been... thinking how interesting

My exact thoughts.

Poor KD. Because of these flaws made by EA, he surely gonna play 2K11; and who knows he`ll be the cover for 2K12.
Off: by looking at Elite11 cover, doesnt it seem KD is being desintegrated by radioactive wind? Looks like Sandman from Spiderman³. XD
