It's D-rose. I'm about 97% sure on that. the other 3% would be dirk.

All custom covers, made by fans.

It'll be half-and-half when the Mavs win.

[Andrew]

Whoever it is will have been signed months in advance, so the outcome of the Finals won't have any impact. At best it would be a fortunate coincidence.

[imefimef]

WOW, how can you guys forget the most important player in the NBA right now? The player that has made the most impact in the NBA the season has obviously been Joel Anthony. I mean even if the game itself is shit, i would purchase it just because that wonderful man is on the cover. Can someone PLEASE make a custom cover with him on it?

[shadowgrin]

Now there's a member who knows his basketball.

[BiG GamE ViN]

04-VC
05-melo
06-dwade
07-tmac
08-agent 0
09-parker
10-dwight

6-shaq
7-still shaq
8-cp3
9-kg
10-black mamba
11-his airness

It's because he wants too much.

[imefimef]

It's because he wants too much.

Wait, he was solicited to be on the cover and he asked for too much money? When was this
From the last set of covers, the John Wall and the D Wade looked pretty good, from page 1 the D Rose too. But (and i say this with absolutely no bias) the LeBron cover looked really good

[Andrew]

The question was raised at previous NBA Live community events and basically we were told that they had reached out to him about the Live cover and he wanted too much. It's highly likely 2K has done the same thing and hit the same stumbling block.

[Patr1ck]

I don't remember the exact figure, but it was absolutely ridiculous.

[shadowgrin]

Probably in the range of 6 figures.

[imefimef]

I don't remember the exact figure, but it was absolutely ridiculous.

Too much or too little? I still don't understand why money would be a problem for any of the superstars who get to be on the covers esp LeBron who is "well off" as far as money goes. I would imagine it was an issue of perks?(idk) or it was too little compared to a different superstar. Otherwise, i don't get it.

[Patr1ck]

Lol, shadow. I think it was more like 7 or 8.

[shadowgrin]

WTF, that is indeed absolutely ridiculous if that's the case.

[ClLUTClH]

2K, you can throw me on the cover (and anywhere else for that matter) for the whopping price of FREE! LeBron, get over yourself. The more you try to imitate Jordan, the more you fail.

Umm, what does anything have to do with imitating Jordan? Plus Even if you paid 2K, they probably won't put you on the cover. Just saying.

The problem was LeBron asking for too much to appear on the cover of the game. As for why he'd ask for a high amount, he's pretty much at the height of his earning power and recognises the value of his brand (and/or has enough people in his camp reminding him of it), so he doesn't come cheap.

Then yeah i don't get it, esp if it's in the 7 8 figure range. Mindblowing.

dallas won the finals in 6.. congratulations dallas fans.. after losing the championship maybe the miami big 3 wont be on the cover.. better give it to a maverick.. hehehe.. jkidd?? or the finals mvp.. better give the cover to a team who dominated (champs) the season for every year.. hehehe..

[Andrew]

The cover player will already have been signed. The results of the Playoffs won't change anything.

[anastasis16]

Mark Cuban perhaps.. cuz he's the happiest cheerleader on the planet ..

[thewhitemamba]

i really love this pic, can someone make me a cover of it?

[thewhitemamba]
