New York, NY – June 20, 2012 – 2K Sports today announced the launch of the “Uncover The Cover” Facebook application, which will engage the 2K Sports online community and reveal some big clues about the cover of NBA 2K13, the next installment of the top-rated NBA video game simulation franchise twelve years running.

The Facebook application will start with the clues concealed behind puzzle pieces. In order for pieces to be removed and the clues to the cover revealed, fans are encouraged to tweet about NBA 2K13 using the hashtag #UncoverNBA2K. The more tweets that are made containing the hashtag, the more pieces of the puzzle will be removed.

Derron Williams has the cover of NBA Baller Beats. FYI.

As much as I hate to admit it The King Lebron James does deserve the cover. He has played well in the playoffs especially in the Finals. He has shut up the critics with his game play you can tell how hungry he is by his play. Stick a fork in the thunder they are done!

If it is a three separate cover thing again like last year, I'm gonna be going for Rose or Durant. Blake is probably the most overrated power forward in the game right now. Despite his ability to slash and dunk over anyone or anything, the dude has no game. No jumper, no handles, no vision.

Should have been a heart instead of a gryphon.... (Kevin Love)

I believe blake, rose, and kobe are the athletes. They were also apart of the 2k13 commercial.

# 150 ShindoHikaru @ 06/21/12 01:37 PM

Jeremy Lin?

# 151 VoIsAsian @ 06/21/12 01:42 PM

I see griffins for Blake Griffin,roses for Derrick Rose,spider for Kevin Durant(Durantula),and there seems to be another one that I don't know,probably Lebron or Kobe.

I'm still curious as to what the Brooklyn Bridge represents.

If I had to guess, I'd assume Niko Bellic will be making an appearance.

It could be that Jay z is on the soundtrack, and could be a character that you could play with like how they had other rappers before as playable.

# 156 AC @ 06/21/12 02:20 PM

I thought the bridge was a throne at first lol.....

Either way, it represents MJ. Deron is on Baller Beats' cover. And really, who else from the Nets would it be? Gerald Wall- oh wait.... Too soon?

MJ has a three year deal and was born in Brooklyn. I love how the cover looks though. However, Blake is ridiculously overrated. It's gonna be between Durant and Rose for me if they do four different covers, but that will be a very tough decision.

I really don't care as long as the game is good, though.

# 157 kjjnesb @ 06/21/12 02:43 PM

What if its 3 different covers with Jordan with each young guy? So Durant/Jordan shooting Rose/Jordan driving Blake/Jordan Dunking.

If that's the case I'm kinda bummed Lebron didn't get a cover don't care for him but he's the best player in the game today imo.

# 158 NINJAK2 @ 06/21/12 02:48 PM

Little dissappointed about Blake Griffin but I understand the reason behind the choice...

# 159 videobastard @ 06/21/12 02:49 PM

Since jordan has the three year deal with 2k. There will probably be one cover with him by himself, and the other three athletes together on one cover.

I believe Lebron may be asking for a little too much power/longevity/cash and that is why he has yet to be on a cover imo. Maybe after the MJ deal closes out 2k may look to him. Cowtowing to MJ and LBJ at the same time may be a little too much for 2k to deal with at once...
