Ty is just being a major chump talking like that. Just to distract everyone away from the obviousness of Westbrook being the cover man.

Ah ok Ya I figured something was up with his statements because it's kinda obvious Westbrook is on the cover.

Can't hate. He deserves it. Westbrook went ham this season. He went super ham after KD went down....I'm still waiting for an alternate cover for Canada (like other countries get, give us a Lowry/raptors cover).

SMH at this nonsense. How did NBA hose the Thunder? Also you think Thunder would of upset Warriors even though Ibaka got hurt and Thunder D became terrible.

Just because they have superstar on cover, doesnt mean they mean business. They had KD for NBA Elite and you know the rest of history...

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.

It's not that serious bro calm down

Right, because they're going to heavily promote a game with an upcoming player on their cover. You don't go from Damian Lillard to Russell Westbrook if you don't plan on marketing this game heavily

Yes, because Oklahoma City didn't make the playoffs. If they did, they would've been knocked out by Golden State. Those players I would believe were better choices for the cover (as they made the postseason):

The Greak Freak deserves it more than Russell Westbrook.
Anyone else with this years playoff stats deserves it more than Russell Westbrook as well.

And this was my top 10 for the cover as of the playoffs seeds determined:

1. Giannis Anteokonunmpo
2. Michael Carter-Williams
3. Stephen Curry
4. LeBron James
5. James Harden
6. Chris Paul
7. Mike Conley
8. LaMarcus Aldridge
9. Jared Bayless
10. Blake Griffin

I somewhat am a big fan of Serge Ibaka/Kevin Durant/Russell Westbrook, but not if OKC misses the postseason like they did this year. One of the players from Milwaukee deserves it more than Russell Westbrook.
