    Re: 2K Sports Invites Fans to "Uncover The Cover" of NBA 2K13

    Wow I thought they would release the actual cover just another stunt to try to get fans interested/hyping the game. I gotta ask you tho will it be a FIFA type cover with 3 guys on cover or 3 separate covers like 2K12 Magic Bird Jordan? KD BG32 D-Rose?

      I agree with the Durant, Griffin and Rose parts. Then I started looking at the part in the background that looks like the Brooklyn Bridge and realized Jordan was born in Brooklyn so I'm going with some kind of mix of those four

        What's the rush? Not like you'll be playing the game before october anyway.

          I mean, can you blame a company for having early promo for their product?

          This is nothing new.

          I agree that it will be like last year's Jordan, Magic, and Bird separate covers, only it'll have 4 consisting of Durant, Rose, and Griffin - with MJ being a limited edition cover this go 'round.

            The answer is clearly Kyrie Irving. Griffin, Rose, Durant were all ROY. Kyrie grew up a Nets fan. /thread.

                Look man--I was just pointing out that there are athletes who have been more hated than Lebron so no need for the attitude with the "yeah yeah blah blah"; if you're wrong, you're wrong. Michael Vick was recently hated on more than Lebron. And if you think Lebron getting death threats is comparable to Vick or Hank Aaron, then you don't know your sports history. The majority of threats on Lebron's life probably came from Ohio, but Vick, Aaron, and others got it from all around the country.

                The point is, people would buy the game to play the game--you're not playing a cover. Maybe that's why people over here complain about the game being too hard; quit looking at the cover and look at the tv screen when you're playing the game. I guarantee you many FSU fans still bought the NCAA FBALL game with Tebow on the cover, many people bought the CHoops game with JJ Reddick on the cover, many Kobe haters bought 2K10 with an accused rapist on the cover; the list goes on and on--especially with all the Reddick and Tebow haters because those guys were REALLY disliked.

                    Edit: technically Kris Humphries is more universally hated than Lebron. And there's statistical evidence (polls) to back that.

                    Holy run-on batman!

                    Regardless of who is on the cover, there's going to be hate. Lebron is a recognizable superstar, so it would not be detrimental to the game if he was on the cover. If anything, it will bring in more sales from the causal gamer and kids who only know Lebron as the best player in basketball.

                      name another player today hated more than bron..

                      From BleacherReport.com, your destination for the latest news on your teams and topics in sports.


                      Pay attention to numbers 7 through 1. I know this was a couple of years ago, but I know a lot of people who can't stand Kobe. The article makes a good point: AT LEAST LEBRON STARTED OFF BEING LIKED; KOBE RUBBED MANY PEOPLE WRONG FROM THE GET-GO.

                      tebow not hated disliked maybe.....
                      Nope. Tim Tebow is hated by some.

                      Again, Kobe is a great example. The guy pretty much ran Shaq out of town which angered even Laker fans. He has a very cocky demeanor which rubs people the wrong way. He downright copied Michael Jordan but denied MJ being his major influence which made people not trust a word he spoke. He was accused of rape--RAPE--which ruined many of his endorsements....

                      ....and he was still on the cover of NBA 2K10. It doesn't matter if time passed--many people (I'm not saying "most", but "many") still hate Kobe for his transgressions years ago, but he was still a cover boy.

KD deserved a cover by himself for leading the Thunder in to the Finals. Anyway I still believe Carmelo Anthony is the better than KD. As Stephen A. Smith said Durant takes breaks and just shows up in the 4th quarter. Anthony has to have a good game from the 1st quarter to the 4th. KD is a better midrange and 3pt shooter. Anthony is better defensively and in the post area. Melo's midrange game is just as good as KDs if not better. They are both excel in the clutch. Knicks have STAT, TYSON, MELO and Thunder have KD, RUSS, IBAKA.
