2K Sports Reveals Greatest Cover of All Time for NBA® 2K11

NBA 2K11 shows off new, unique art style to pay homage to Michael Jordan

New York, NY - July 7, 2010 - 2K Sports today revealed the official cover art for NBA® 2K11 featuring Michael Jordan as the face of this year's iteration of the top rated and top selling basketball simulation franchise*. The art style, featuring a highly-stylized, three-panel, iconic image of Jordan, represents a departure from previous NBA 2K titles to reflect the significance of having the greatest player of all time grace the cover.

"We knew as soon as we signed Jordan that we needed to do something special for the cover," said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. "This could possibly be the most highly anticipated cover art in the history of sports games and we think the image we came up with delivers on every front. I think fans will be pleasantly surprised at how Jordan is actually used in game, as NBA 2K11 will pay homage to ‘His Airness' in many ways, but the cover art represented our first chance to stop and honor him along the way."

"Its exciting to see it all come together," said Michael Jordan, a recent Hall of Fame inductee. "I am looking forward to seeing the final product, but my kids might have to give me some lessons."

NBA 2K11 is not yet rated by the ESRB and will be available October 5, 2010. To view the cover, please visit www.2ksports.com/nba2k11.

If that is the real thing, I would love it if it wasn't for the "Greatest of All-Time" headline at the top

Let's hope it plays like The Greatest Sim Basketball Video Game of all time. I really expect as much!

I like it, in my head I saw it diffrent but this is still a good cover.

Hmmm... three Jordans on the cover... implication of three Jordans in the game???

Like the cover, could do without the greatest of all time thing but it doesn't matter. The case will be sitting in my game drawer anyway right beside Elite.
