June 4, 2008 – Tomorrow, 2K Sports will reveal the cover athlete for the highly anticipated basketball video game, NBA 2K9, in a 30 second TV spot scheduled to air during the NBA Countdown pre-game show for Game One of the 2008 NBA Finals, Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers, June 5th at 8:30 pm ET on ABC.

As part of revealing the new cover athlete, 2K Sports has launched a new community web site, www.2ksports.com/nba2k9, where registered participants can predict the cover athlete for NBA 2K9 from a selection of 16 NBA players. Fans have until 11:59 p.m. ET tonight to make their predictions, and participants who select correctly will be entered into a special drawing for the opportunity to win exclusive prizes. One grand prize winner will receive the NBA 2K9 cover athlete’s authentic, autographed NBA jersey, along with a copy of NBA 2K9 on the platform of their choice. Ten other first prize winners will also receive a copy of NBA 2K9. All winners will receive their copy of NBA 2K9 upon release of the game.

NBA 2K9, which is being developed by Visual Concepts, is not yet rated by the ESRB and will be available this fall for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system.

I think some people aren't reading the post or going to the site of the contest before posting - Kobe Bryant isn't even an option, from the 16 you can choose from.

That being said, I says it's gotta be a Celtic, as the cover will be unveiled during the Pre-Game for the Celtics/Lakers. But will it be Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett? One could argue that Paul Pierce has been on the team so long, he deserves the cover having made it this far finally, but one could also argue that the addition of Garnett made it possible. Hmmm....

Yeah, livin' in New England this might be a little biased, by I gotta go with KG. I'd prefer Paul Pierce, but with the exception of original Celts fans, people seem to like KG more.

Hmm, has Kobe ever been on the 2K covers? If not, I can only assume him. But if so, I would say either KG or Paul Pierce (he's been amazing this year!)

i voted for dwayne wade


You looking for divine and the little intervention,
And them birds don't fly, without my permission,
I'm probably in the sky, flying with the fishes,
Or maybe in the ocean, swimming with the pigeons,
See my world is different,
Like Dwayne Wayne,
And if you want trouble, bitch, I want the same thing,
-weezy f baby

Because people keep thinking Kobe is on the list and not going to the site I felt the need to show people who was on the list... I would've voted for Kobe if he was on there though. KG all the way.

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
