Durant has not Been Contacted about Live 13 Cover Yet

"I'm excited they brought 'NBA Live' back," says Durant. "I haven't talked to anybody yet (about the cover). I'm sure I'll get a call here in a few hours or a few days or so. I haven't heard about it, this is my first time. I'm excited."

So yea, speculate.

He might not be the cover I gues

No point in not using the cover you were planning on using in the first place.

Sounds like he's keen for it if they approach him. I would've thought the cover player would be signed by now, ready to unveil around June, but perhaps not. I still wouldn't be too surprised if it does turn out to be Durant but unless he's just trying to throw everyone off the scent, it seems there's a good possibility it'll be someone else entirely.

didn't Howard mention for Live 10 they didnt contact him until they were eliminated from the Playoffs?

Apparently not.

For years, video game developers 2K Sports and EA Sports have battled for supremacy among NBA fans with their respective titles, but this season, their cover subjects are battling on the court, as well. One week after 2K revealed that Kobe Bryant will grace the cover of NBA 2K10, EA will announce today that Dwight Howard will be featured on the cover of NBA Live 10.

On the surface this pairing seems awfully convenient, but in actuality it's just a stroke of luck -- neither developer could have known for certain these two teams would meet up when the cover subjects were selected. So now the debate begins: who made the best pick?

I'm glad that despite the Elite fiasco and the things it brought KD still wants to be in the cover, I'd be very disappointed is EA doesn't pick him and instead they do the Pick Your Coverman tournament.

No word on them doing that yet. I'm guessing maybe next year, if at all. This year they'll probably go with their choice, an established name/rising star to help move the game.

Any chance in LBJ being the cover?

Any chance in LBJ being the cover?

Strange choice...

Presumably we'd get an Aussie cover with Harold Holt.

In years gone by, LeBron's asking price has apparently been too high but I suppose there's always a chance. It's not like EA or 2K are purposely snubbing him, it's more about agreeing on terms.

I think Kevin Durant Or Lebron James would be great
