NBA 2K12 theme: Which past player should be next?

[T3B0W]

NBA 2K11 I think is the start of a theme for the series and I'd like to bet we will see another great featured in next year's game.

Who do you think would be the guy?

Bird? Magic? Bird and Magic?

I would like to have multiple moments in NBA history to replay, not w/ just a single player.

Magic Period.

I think Magic is the obvious one, though could see a mix of he and Bird too.

I agree with this statement, after having Jordan on the cover I think the "WOW" factor won't be there as strongly with another player.

Possibly a cover with Jordan, Bird, Magic and a few other legends while following ace's suggestion of multiple NBA moments. That would be completely boss.

I don't think they'll going to be doing any more classic covers...I'm betting the next coverboy for 2K will be Lebron.

But a feature, yes I think they will add onto this. Add more historic teams as we go along. Bird and Magic era would be cool, personally I'd like to see Hakeem and the championship Rockets in here eventually.

They've gone forward in time with Jordan, how about back in time with LeBron?

The LeBron Challenge would add LeBron to classic teams and situations trying to match someone's past performance.

Can LeBron score 100 on March 16 1962?

Can LeBron score 49 in the 76'ers game one playoff matchup with the Lakers?

There could also be game situational challenges. Game 6 of the 1998 playoffs vs. Utah, tied, can LeBron steal the ball for the fast break winner?

I think 2k should do like Madden 10(Larry and Troy) and put Magic and Bird up there that says Rivalry.

Nice one! And it will focus on great rivalries of the history of the NBA. Magic and Bird, Bulls vs Pistons, Heat vs Knicks (90s), etc.

Nope.

2k12 should go a different direction. I wouldn't be surprised to see regional covers featuring many different cover artists. Rose covers in Chicago, Kobe covers in LA, Wade/LeBron covers in Miami, Durant covers in OKC.

That's what I would like to see. Jordan is THE transcedent player in basketball and no other name has the folklore in its respective sport that Jordan's carries. I'm hoping to see simply better gameplay, and possibly even more Jordan-like challenges featuring other stars (Magic, Bird, Chamberlain, etc) but it shouldn't be the main feature like the Jordan Challenge is to 2k11.
