They did the same Name + Number thing with Garnett last year

But yeah, the ad got a few chuckles out of my boys and I.

I hope Kobe in the Knicks' jersey wins the final cover layout.

# 24 Yo-Yo @ 06/05/09 01:14 AM

Knicks cover is pointless. he already said that he will stya in LA. He doesn't look right in the Knicks jersey anyway, but hey that's just my opinion.

that kobe pic of him in the air looks like his whole body is computer generated and his head is the only normal thing also if Kobe is coverboy maybe peoples wish of his sig shot being changed will happen

Heck, if it was a Bulls jersey, I'd be all over that. I'm speechless that I saw Kobe as the coverboy. This has just blown my mind. They went after Kobe and got him. I wonder what they'll be working on with the gameplay though. He ain't the greatest defensive player.......

I have a theory, but it doesn't involve the PS3.

The last two years, they have picked players that went to the NBA Finals, and revealed it there. Last year, KG (on the cover) and the Celtics won. So this year, Kobe+2k=Title?

BREAKING NEWZZZZ!11!!! 2k Sports and NBA fixing games!!!!11! SimBaller's true identity revealed to be Tim Donaghy!!1!!

Ok, ignore me. Continue to talk amongst selves.

Whoever has the final say on the cover is doing a hell of a job... They nailed it (it as in recognition and hype) 2 years in a row now..

# 29 Whaaaazuuuuup @ 06/05/09 06:01 AM

woooow! you guys are sad!, lmao...

Yup.

Elitist comments aside, those covers are great. And I've never been Kobe's biggest fan.

Whatever cover the fans pick they will use. So again, vote for the Knicks cover.

Think of it this way: it will be unprecedented.

+1

Voted for #3, poppin' the Laker colors. Heck, if that cover wins I'll buy a copy of 2k10 for both my PC and my PS3. I'll play the PC version and keep the PS3 version in it's case unopened.

This cover reeks of a NBA live cover in the sole fact that EA will put whoever the most popular person is at the time on the cover, with no real thought into it, it seems.(I am not really saying thats a bad thing) I expect people like Brandon Roy, Andre Igodala (sp) hell maybe even Chris Anderson to be the cover boys of a 2k game. To be honest I really thought Chauncy Billups would have been chosen for how he change the nuggets around. This of course isnt that big of a deal but when I saw it I was like uuugggg. This might be the first year I print out a cover and put it in my box.

While i don't disagree with you i feel that if they had the money to get a T-mac or Shaq or something back in the day then they would have. This just shows how they've become the #1 game in town.

Knicks jersey is leading the vote... but I highly doubt that they will use whatever cover is voted. It's going to be the Lakers jersey-pull, no matter how the vote turns out (although the other Lakers ones look better).

EDIT: Correction: 19%, 16%, 36%, 30% in favor of the Lakers jersey-pull, which again, will be picked regardless. Knicks jersey is second.
