I don't get why people get wrapped up in not liking a cover, or thinking others won't like it. YOU DON'T PUT THE COVER IN THE SYSTEM--YOU PUT THE GAME DISC IN.

I think that some might do it. There are some really irrational people out there. And in a year that's VERY important for 2k, as this is their last sports franchise alive, they can't afford to go with someone who's loved by maybe 25% of fans and hated by the rest. Just my opinion, man.

I'm sure MJ has many many haters, yet the game sold very well since he's been on the cover. Boycotting a game because of a cover is a thing for online forums. At the end of the day, even haters still put the disc in their console. At least that's what I think. No disrespect to your opinion, though.

I'm sure there was a decent amount of people who did skip on it, but not enough to make a difference. However, this year, 2k needs people buying their game, for the reasons I listed earlier in this post. I'd never boycott the game because of its cover, but there are people that I think would (I have a few friends who definitely would), and it's a lot safer to get guys that are, for the most part, liked, like Griffin, Rose, and Durant. Just my opinion.

If 2k13 is a success, though, I wouldn't be surprised to see Lebron on 2k14, or 15.

Lebron was on 1 of the Sony's NBA cover along with 5 other stars, Kobe being among them.

wasn't Peyton manning on the cover of microsofts football game for the original Xbox. Can't remember the name of it right now
