2K Sports Invites Fans to "Uncover The Cover" of NBA 2K13

Kwame Brown does have that MJ connection, lol. Anything is possible! :Kevin Garnett voice:

D-Rose didn't really deserve to be on the cover or Griffin it's just their popularity. Rose has best selling jersey and Griffin is on KIA commercials. KD deserved a cover by himself for leading the Thunder in to the Finals. Anyway I still believe Carmelo Anthony is the better than KD. As Stephen A. Smith said Durant takes breaks and just shows up in the 4th quarter. Anthony has to have a good game from the 1st quarter to the 4th. KD is a better midrange and 3pt shooter. Anthony is better defensively and in the post area. Melo's midrange game is just as good as KDs if not better. They are both excel in the clutch. Knicks have STAT, TYSON, MELO and Thunder have KD, RUSS, IBAKA.

Is this serious?

If the cover athlete didn't affect sales why would they change the athlete every year and pay someone for it? It's a marketing tactic, it is important, whether it effects you or not.

It's slightly backwards here though, more people are going to buy a LeBron cover because he's a star and people recognize him, case in point, I watched my neighbors kids who were 7 and 8 in 2005 and they didn't buy 2k5 because Ben Wallace was on the cover, they bought Live 05 because Melo was on the cover. Why? Because when you're 8 and you go into a video game store, you're more likely to pick up the game with the recognizable superstar on the cover.

Also, some people will actually buy TWO copies just to get a specific cover to keep in the shrink wrap as part of a sports/video game memorabilia collection.

Guys, there's only one cover athlete.

I agree that the image looks like Blake Griffin, Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant (as well as something to do with Brooklyn), but it's only one of them.

This is from 2K Sports' Twitter page:

"Keep telling us your ideas on who will be THE guy on the cover of NBA 2K13."
