its def not garnett. pierce has a flat face and that shadow has a flat face.

garnett is not that stocked. he is very thin. looks like pierce to me.

Why do you guys think it's either Pierce or Garnett?


It looks like Dwight's "fire a ball into the rim after 3 feet back and call it a dunk"

Is the shadow the actual player? If it is, it could be Chris Bosh(neck).
My Starting 5:

PG: Allen Iverson
SG: Paul Pierce
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Patrick Ewing

I thought of dwight too, but I dont think so. the neck is deceiving and can look like bosh but I think the player is too thick to be garnett or bosh.

I was over at the toronto board and someone posted this garnett pic. it looks great but I still think its PP.

Based on the lack of hair in that outline, it's obviously Charlie Villanueva.

Pierce isn't a lefty...

My guess is Bosh.

Reading the toronto board, it is not a lefty. It is a righty.

Man, all of them are saying KG or bosh. I kind of see bosh, I just don't know why they would put him on... I do not see KG at all.

I think it could be pierce. And I hope it is. Either him or garnett would be very cool.

Yeah, to be honest, it looks like a righty to me. I really hope it's Pierce, but KG would be great too.

But since no one in their right mind would put Bosh on the cover this season, I think it's KG.

Wow...very good eye...at first glance i thought it was a left handed dunk as well...but after looking harder...it could be either way.

also...you dont have to be a lefty to dunk with your left hand

It is 100% a righty. And obviously you can't tell by the picture which is pretty ambiguous, BUT they wouldn't put a picture on the cover that was covering half of the player's face, which is how it would be if it was a lefty.
