i went to their site and theres a poll to see who it is.
These are all the players.
Chris Bosh

Baron Davis

Kevin Durant

Kevin Garnett

Andre Iguodala

LeBron James

Yao Ming

Steve Nash
Dirk Nowitzki

Tony Parker

Chris Paul

Paul Pierce

Brandon Roy

Josh Smith

Dwayne Wade

Deron Williams



If it's not Dwight (not on the list) I guess I'll have to go with Pierce.

LeBron James
Josh Smith
Kevin Garnett
Andre Iguodala
Brandon Roy
Kevin Durant
Dwayne Wade
Baron Davis
Dirk Nowitzki
Deron Williams
Yao Ming
Tony Parker
Chris Paul

Its not LeBron, he wants over 90 million to do a video game cover. Noway 2k wants to spend that much on him. And its not Dwight, because he signed with a different basketball game company.

I'm going to guess Brandon Roy, I think 2k is going with the young gun thing.

EDIT: Deleted photo of wrong person dunking. :oops:

I think he's usually a 2-handed dunker so I'm a little skeptical.

It could be Roy, after looking at this dunk (though it's not THIS one specifically since the legs are different):

(picture)

I think he's usually a 2-handed dunker so I was initially skeptical, but this picture at least shows he's a distinct possibility.
That's Monta Ellis.

Obviously you're right, I should've looked closer.

I think it is Deron Williams because it looks like someone who is fat.

My list is
Deron Williams
Paul Pierce
Kevin Garnett
Chris Bosh

Ben Wallace was on the 2k5 cover and the only thing marketable about him is his hair.

I'm thinking it's Paul Pierce like a lot of other people. If it were Iggy or Josh Smith theyd be a lot higher above the basket, they got insane hops. Looks like Pierce's body type and what I'd expect his one-handed dunk form to look like at this point.

Caron Butler is my second guessthough, he's a serious sleeper pick.

EDIT: Scratch the Butler pick, just saw daveisceltics list.

My first guess would be C. Paul.
Second...the other A.I. Igoudala.
