Is the NBA Live 13 Cover Athlete, LeBron James?

Cover looks like trash. Real talk.

In the social media age that we live in any publicity is good publicity, anyone remember "Rebeca Black - Friday" song, 36 million views on youtube, but almost every comment is negative. Whether or not people like you or hate doesn't matter, all that matters is that they're talking about you. LeBron may be hated now, but the haters just add to the fans that he already has.

The hell kind of nonsense is this. Lebron went from being an extremely well liked athlete to the most scrutinized athlete EVER. How is that positive? The difference between lbj and rebbecca black is that nobody knew who she was so in her case "any publicity is good publicity" is true. Before the decision lebron already had all of the attention and media attention in the world, the only thing that changed was that the attention went from mostly positive to mostly negative.

I guess Kevin Durant didn't do his research then?

It's truth. Not nonsense unfortunately. Like it or not, we're in that world now. Instead of compliments, you get jokes. It's all entertainment. Look at James. Look at Rebecca Black. Look at Lindsay Lohan. Look at, Jerry Sandusky. The media knows full well that hate sells just as much as love if not more sometimes. Sad, huh?

Well if Live 10 was any indication to Durant of how Elite 11 would turn out them i'm sure he thought it'd be alright. But If NBA Elite 11 is any indication to LeBron of how Live 13 will turn out then i'm sure he'd wanna hold out from being a cover boy for another year.

And your above post is one of the realest posts i've read on this site.

EA must have paid Kevin Durant for the cancelled Elite 11 cover two years ago, so I wonder if they'll use him for 13? I didn't care for that cover then, but like the choice for Durant. Next choice might be Derrick Rose. That said, if what was done in the past, the fans voted for the cover, like for Madden & NCAA. Why haven't we gotten that yet? I know it's still early, 2 months away, but usually EA does the cover right after the NBA draft. So, a little puzzling. If we fans don't hear more about Live 13 in the next two to three weeks, I WILL wonder if the game is coming out.

Did you realize both Durant and Rose are in NBA 2K13' cover? No way they can be in Live.
