August 12, 2004 - ESPN Videogames today announced their cover athlete and spokesman for the upcoming ESPN NBA 2K5. And the winner is…Detroit Pistons center, Ben Wallace.


"When it comes to selecting our cover athlete, it's all about finding a player that embodies the passion and commitment that we put forth in creating ESPN NBA 2K5," said Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts - makers of ESPN Videogames. "As we continue to deliver the highest rated NBA video game, Wallace's leadership and unbridled tenacity perfectly represents our brand."

"I've been a fan of ESPN Videogames for a long time," said Ben Wallace. "I have been in their television commercials for the past two years, so I was honored when they asked me to appear on the cover of ESPN NBA 2K5."

ESPN Videogames' ESPN NFL 2K5 has already sold over one-million copies due in large part to its reduced price point of $19.99 which will also extend to ESPN NBA 2K5 and ESPN NHL 2K5. This year's hard-court addition will feature an improved A.I. called Reactive Court Sense which allows players to independently react to their opponent's actions.

ESPN NBA 2K5 will be released to round ball addicts everywhere this October. Meantime, check out the screenshots we have including one of the man himself. Stay tuned.
