EA should be joking. Oklahoma City was terrible when Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka were out and Westbrook had to carry his team and couldn't get his team in the postseason? That was an AWFUL choice. EA should have gone with a 2013 NBA Draftee (who was in the postseason) like Kelly Olynyk, MCW, Giannis Anteokonunmpo and Otto Porter. I'm going to not follow NBA 2K/NBA Live on Twitter unless they choose to take another direction and go for a Bucks player. Either that or I'll continue to go for a custom cover.

is it really that big a deal? there was no chance giannis or any of those random players you mentioned would be on the cover.

Definitely not being a homer.

lol, what team wouldn't be bad with 2 of their 3 best players out? Also, even though they were so "terrible" they literally missed the playoffs in the west by a tiebreaker.

Westbrook had a historic season and put up monster stats. He deserves it.

He averaged 28 points, 2 steals, 8 assists and 7 rebounds and your saying he was an awful choice for cover?

Dawg, Westbrook missed a month and got hosed by the NBA and the spurs on the last game of the season. The nba knew westbrook would have made a joke of thdir "golden boy" in the first round.

It's in NHL 16 this year, so I'm hoping it's in Live also

The only way a Buck gets the cover is if you put a dollar bill on the case. You torture yourself every year with this on OS, NLS & EA's forums. How much Kleenex do you go through?
