Under Cover: Most Memorable NBA Covers

01:12 PM - June 24, 2010 by RaychelSnr

The announcement of a cover athlete for an NBA video game is a landmark moment in the season. For the fans, it ends a period of anticipation, guessing and even self-created artwork for the soon to be released NBA games. For the athletes, it is a stamp of recognition and achievement. And for the game developers, it’s a symbol and an “I owe you” card for what they promise to deliver in their gamers.

This is a year 2K Sports can once again raise the bar and keep their top spot on the basketball gaming charts. So, it's only fitting that number 23 has been chosen to appear on the cover of NBA 2K11. At the same time, Kevin Durant, a budding superstar destined for greatness, is EA Sports' chosen one to lead the rebirth and creation of NBA Elite 11.

Easy. NBA Live 2002.

Only cover MJ was on that wasn't in a Bulls uniform. Also very rare.

That is a pretty boring cover and since it only came out in one region it's not very memorable.

The ESPN Basketball cover is probably my favorite cover ever.

I'm still looking for a copy of Live 08 or 09 with Bargnani on the cover & 2k8 or 2k9 with Calderon on the cover. Both were released in Italy & Spain but I can read either language in order to buy a copy on ebay italy or ebay spain......LOL

As much of a MJ homer as I am... video game cover boys mean absolutely nothing to me. Yea, some graphic artists make exciting ones from time to time that help push the pre-release hype but as soon as the game is released everyone forgets who is on the cover and judges the game for, well, the game play. Slow news days obviously... just sayin

In 2k8 Calderon was with Garbajosa too lol.
And in the NBA street vol.2 (hands down the best of the series), MJ is with Dr. J too.
