NBA 2K13 Cover Athletes Are Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose

[ojandpizza]

I wouldn't mind seeing a Jordan Pippen Rodman up top and a Bron, Wade, Bosh along the bottom cover with the 2k13 in the center, tell me that wouldn't be badass lol.. To me this conver not only has a poor choice of players but it's just ugly as hell, and colors don't match.. I hope each has their own cover when released instead of all 3 on 1 cover

I like it... I mean the last 2 years we've had a God on the front cover. So you just have to wonder who will follow it up with. The best option has to be with the up and coming players. I feel bad for Rose though. He's going to miss a lot of time.

I think if LeBron wins again. You might see him up there next year. I think by then a lot of peoples opinions will change of him if that happens again.

Oh well great cover 2K!

I would have personally saved the Tri-Cover so I could have 3 different covers for the next 3 years. But what do I know?

I like the cover but really I don't care if it was a blank pic...I don't EVER see the cover after I buy the game so it doesn't matter at all to me...But for all this Bron love where did this come from lol? just a few weeks ago the man was hated now everyone is bashing 2k for not putting him as there cover boy...Should he be on the cover sure but just ask for one to be made by one of the guys here...It will look better also

If they were gonna go 3 guys why not go Bosh, Wade and LeBron holding the trophy or Duncan, Manu, Parker, or something, at least that would make some damn sense!.. Personally I would rather had a one athlete cover anyways

"none of the 3 they chose accomplished anything"
Huh?!? Durant led the league in scoring, 2nd in MVP voting, and led his team to the FINALS!!
Blake was All-NBA 2nd team, averaged 20 and 10, help vitalized the Clips and led them to the playoffs.
If give you Rose but to say the other two did not accomplish anything is ludicrous. I guess by your logic, you either have to win the championship or MVP or you don't deserve to be on the cover.

Besides, gracing the cover is not about accomplishments---it's about marketability and sales. You have three of the most popular and exciting young players in the NBA. Rose may not played much last season but he still have the #1 selling jersey while Durant and Blake were #8 and #9 respectively. Hmmm.....that's got to mean something.

BTW, T-Mac was on the cover of Live 07 after being injured and missing the entire playoffs. Arenas was on the cover of Live 08 after also missing the entire playoffs from previous season. Melo was on the cover after his rookie season----heck he didn't even win Rookie of the Year.

I'm good with the choices for the cover, although I wish they used the 3-person cover for 2K12 with Magic, Bird and MJ, instead of the 3 separate covers.

Still, at the end of the day, what matters most is what's on the disc.

Why is Michael Jordan standing next to Shane Battier on the middle row?
