2K13 Cover Athlete(s)?

I haven't seen another thread about this, but please inform me if there is one.

Who do you think 2K13's athlete will be this year? It's going to be difficult to figure out what can top 2K12's cover(s). Whether it be a current playing athlete, the new 2012 Champs, or more legends. My prediction is that there's going to be a mix of current players, and legends together. Just randomly throwing that out there.

What are your bold thoughts?

Let 'em fly.

Hoping it's a current player. I think it might be Lebron.

I'd like Durant or D.Rose to be on the cover of 2K13.

DK or LJ

They should just use the Cover Art they were going to use before going on hiatus, might as well.

Think your confused with Live man.

Derrick Rose please.

jeremy lin?

It wouldn't surprise me if LeBron makes one of the covers this year, he'd be one of my top picks. Rose seems a strong possibility given his past involvement with NBA 2K, too. At this point I'm going with LeBron though, with MJ appearing somewhere on the cover similar to what EA did with NBA Live 2000, or perhaps being an alternate collector's cover.

jeremy lin?

No way. I would bet on it.

I'm still skeptical about LeBron, but it's a strong possibility.

Teehee, something i found

How do you even come close to the multi covers of three hall of famers? They have to put one of the best if not the best current player on the cover. Unless the MJ deal was for multiple covers/years, they really need to put Lebron James on the cover. If they are willing to put up the money for Jordan, they can pay for Lebron James. A better way to do it would be to have multiple covers again, with Lebron, Durant, and Kobe, D Rose or Chris Paul.

I completely agree, the only thing i could think of is something of this nature, with multiple stars on the cover.

No Dirk in either of those covers yet you have Stuckey, Joe Johnson and Rashard fucking Lewis?

MJ's signed for a few more years to appear in the game, so there's probably a decent chance he will appear on another cover (or be available as an alternate cover). Having said that, unless appearing on the cover is part of the deal, I have a feeling they'll go with an active player as the main cover this year. It made sense to keep the old school approach last year with NBA's Greatest and the lockout, but my guess is that NBA 2K13 will be about moving forward and to that end, the cover player will be a contemporary star like LeBron.

I didn't make those covers, chill. You completely missed the point, i was saying that the cover might have multiple stars, and used those as examples.

It's gonna be Jordan again, the guy moves merchandise like no other.

I don't think Jordan will be the main cover this time.

Should be & will be LBJ

As, the 2nd MVP is probably gonna get Live 13.

I do not agree with LBJ because of the fact:
1. Jordan still has a contract with 2K and is very popular than of LBJ
2. LeBron James ask so much money for his body to be pasted over a cover and edited

Id rather see MJ than LBJ and this facts are damn true.

And what's wrong with MJ being the cover?

I'm fine with it, though given he is retired I believe that at some point the focus/selling point has to be on a contemporary star again. It's not like the cover player is a deal breaker for me anyway; if I have to add another MJ cover to my collection, so be it.

True, I remember before 2K11 came out people were desperate for MJ. They made their own covers to be printed, you'd see perfected CF's, or Created players on console versions, MessenjahMatt made sick videos, and now that he's back some people are just like "ehhh"
