    Shaq has also been on both. NBA Live '96 and 2k6/2k18 legend cover.

    Tony Parker and Pau Gasol have been on both game's European covers.

      Can't lie I had to Google that 96 cover lol so Shaq has easily been on the most covers all time.

        Gotta be Iverson with that honor, from the first 2K until 2K4.

            Never been bothered by the cover star.

            Always seems strange people care about that...

            With the exception of when they had the Jordan mode - or if the heavily feature a player in modes I don't get it.

            I'd rather they tell us what they are improving and adding...

              Hope that we'll have even better dribbling and footplanting and no more sluggish lorry like movement and better speed variations between different players with Kyrie on the cover ofcourse

                That game was so forgettable that I didn't remember Kyrie being on the cover of Live.

                  So 2ks dribbling better be A1 if it isn't you've dishonored Kyrie.
                  ... But hey VC sale!!

                    There is another thread for that. Not here.

                      Mostly agree. I like seeing who's on the cover mostly because it's our first bit of news about the new game, but I do wish they would give us a little something with it. A screenshot, a short tease video, a hint about what's new in the game, etc.

                      I miss the days when the cover athlete gave us an idea of what to expect for new features. I don't think we've seen that happen since Jordan on 2k11 and jordan, bird, magic on 2k12. EA was always a bit better with this. Live 14 used Kyrie and focused on the new dribbling system. Madden's athletes used to always give an idea of what to expect, and to an extent still does.

                        Wow I almost hate Cleveland enough to not want to buy this and have to see Kyrie.

                          Interesting choice, considering he was on the other game's cover not too long ago. Would be hilarious if he showed up at E3 with a 2K producer and did exactly the same thing he did 4 years ago...

                          On a side note: 2K covers become more and more weird. Less designed, more casual, looks like worse than what OS artists come up with. But as long as the game is great...who cares, eh?

                            Not 2K and Live, but Kobe was on the covers of NBA Courtside, NBA Action 98 and NBA '07.

                                LOL. I love/hate Kyrie. Just can't root for him because LeBron and the Cavs. But you might have to get the Shaq edition lol. But if you mean the startup screen it might not matter.
