Last year, Michael Jordan was on the cover of the video game NBA 2K11. Not surprisingly, that proved to be wildly successful for 2K Sports.
This time around they've decided to feature NBA Hall of Famers MJ, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird on three separate covers.
From the Associated Press
Last year, Jordan was the cover athlete for 2K's NBA game, which sold more than 5 million units. Jordan also worked closely with the game's developers for last year's game, providing his input on details such as a player's shot technique.
For the upcoming "NBA 2K12," which is expected to go on sale Oct. 4, the company didn't specify how each of the three basketball legends will be incorporated into the game.
Gotta say I love it. In the last few years, the NBA2K franchise has jumped over EA Sports' NBA Live as the best-selling NBA video game. Assuming I buy a Playstation 3 (fingers crossed that I do since I've wanted to for years) this fall/winter, there is no doubt I will purchase this game, most likely while experiencing a serious pants tent.
I would have bought the game anyway but having Bird-the Boston Celtics legend-on the cover makes it impossible to overlook.
