            Okay, here are some pics of Bosh. They're not exact but do show some similarities to the NBA 2K9 pic.

            Also, let us not forget that Chris Paul was flying under the radar until this year. Yes, people knew who he was and knew his name but it wasn't until this year that Chris Paul and MVP were mentioned in the same sentence. So, I don't think it's that far of a reach to say Bosh could get the cover.

                Well Arenas said he liked 2k better in the past and he was willing to take ea's cash and be on their cover. If it's not Paul it should be LeBron. From a marketing standpoint that makes the most sense as far as reaching the masses.
                EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                    Is it worth it though? I have no idea how they decide on these things but you would think that LeBron would demand millions + a multi year contract. I don't really think they need LeBron on the cover when there are plenty of other marketable names out there who won't demolish their bank account

                        If the picture is of the cover athlete, I really think it's KG because of that bent arm dunking style that KG usually dunks with, though he usually dunks right handed though, but it could be a mirror image also. But that bent off arm dunk is how KG dunks it almost every time unless he's using 2 hands

                            So I started thinking "forget all the fuss about the cover athlete, u can make NBA Starting five 2005 cover (no athlete, just the logo of the game). Spend the money on perfecting the game rather than on gimmicks".
                            My Specs:

                            ZX Spectrum
                            CPU: Z80 @ 3.5 MHz
                            GPU: Monochrome display
                            RAM: 48 KB
                            OS: Sinclair BASIC

                                When I ASKED Gilbert why he chose to be on the cover of Live when WE ALL know he likes 2K better he simply started shuffling his fingers and said, "They paid me" lol

                                            When they selected CP3 last year, it was a move that shocked me like no other...

                                            I wanted to pick a team that was coming up and could do something next year, along with a young player who casuals may or may not have heard of, so I picked Brandon Roy.

                                                What if LeBron changed his demands. Gave up on trying to get so much and settled for what he can get?
