I don't like the new cover of NBA 2K9

Those look generic looking.

Instead, I would've liked either of these images or one with him, Pierce and Ray Allen or with the whole Celtics team. A first, since it's typically of only one player.

You market superstars. Not teams, not super friends.

The 2k cover is great.

Says everything you need to say, KG, his legendary "passion", and him getting his trophy with it being a pic of him wearing the finals uniform. It's right there on the top right shoulder.

Well, we can agree to disagree. I don't like it at all if those are the actual covers.

Having two different Celtics on the cover of both franchises' covers is pretty damn cool in itself.

Has that ever even happened for any other team in any sport?

EDIT: Nevermind, Tony Parker's on the NBA Live cover this year. I coulda sworn it was Pierce.

There's a limited amount of those pairs with KG on them (it was a promotion for charity during the finals or something. But I saw the regular black/green KG's "on sale" at foot locker in downtown crossing for something like $50 if your looking for a pair.

Is that image photoshopped? Or he was that lean back in the day?

Kind of strange; it's the same game with different cover art for each system. I don't remember anything like that before (at least with sports titles).

I actually pulled a rabbit out of my arse and managed to scoop up a Wii a few weeks ago (those things are impossible to find in NH). Wonder if it'll have a different cover, too.

Garnett had bold words for gamers everywhere. "NBA 2K is where it's AT! End of story," the Celtics power forward said. "It's the game I play, the game my friends play, and the game anyone in the league serious about videogames plays. NBA 2K is the real deal, and until 2K Sports find a way to plant an elbow in your chest, it's the closest thing to actually being there on the court. I can't tell you how pumped I am to be on the cover of NBA 2K9 – it's a real honor. Now watch out! Because this fall 2K Sports and I are going to deliver the best basketball video game out there, period."

They don't release it for Wii, you are stuck with Live. Sorry.

That's OK. I haven't bought a basketball game since NBA Jam anyway.
