[myfishjustdied]

who do you guys think it will be?

[BlazersDozen]

Kevin Garnett

[fos]

who do you guys think it will be?

Antoine Walker

[dirkdiggler41]

Travis Diener



I have to go with Deron Williams or Chris Paul. They did Chris last 2k, but they have also done Shaq two times in a row I belive

[dnyk1337]

Kobe... derr.

[evinecz]

Allen Iverson

[June1026]

Brandon Roy is a safe choice, preferably Durant or Dwight.

Some other possibilities:
Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, AI2.

It'd be nice to see Yao Ming on a game cover though.

Oh god, I hate using the Kings because KM shot is hard to get used to.

[ukballer]

I went for Josh Smith :)

I think it will either be him or Brandon Roy.

[Interminator]

It won't be LeBron,Melo(NBA Live),Wade(NBA Live),Dwight(NBA Ballers),Shaq,KG,Ben Wallace,Allen Iverson,Kevin Durant(EA Sports March Madness),Deron Williams,Chris Paul(2K8),etc.
No Established Stars do these covers anymore,2K sports is looking for a person who is on the cusp of becoming a star like Chris Paul was last season.

It DEFINETLY won't be Kevin Martin,because outside of intense NBA fans they don't know who Kevin Martin is,not even the casual NBA fan knows who he is,they'll probably think you meant Kenyon Martin.

I think it will be either:

Brandon Roy(Rising Popularity,All-Star)
Josh Smith(Rising Popularity,Young Star)
Andre Igoudala(Rising Popularity)
Al Jefferson
Monta Ellis

I think Monta Ellis gets the cover.

[Posterize246]

how about amare stoudemire?

[Interminator]

how about amare stoudemire?
Nah,he does the NBA series for PS2.

The old NBA shootout series,re-branded.

[nou1990]

Michael redd

[Poseidon]

Rumor has it that it will be Boston's own softie, Kevina Garnett.

[plat1numX]

its either smith, kg, or bosh....
and its between these players

Bosh
Baron
Durant
KG
Iggy
Bron
Yao
Nash
Dirk
Tony Parker
CP3
PP
Roy
Smoove
Wade
D-Will

[don juan de marco]

Kwame Brown:cheers:

[teleport]

Paul Pierce was my choice, I have a feeling that it will be him

[Apples]

forest whitaker

:oldlol:

[don juan de marco]

I think it will be Kobe

[Poseidon]

I think it will be Kobe

Kobe signed a multi-year deal with Sony in 2007. It will definitely NOT be him (although he deserves to grace the cover of ALL NBA video games to be released in '09).

[dazed27]

A little birdie told me it was Sasha

WOAT Homer

[bigkingsfan]

John Madden

[RoseCity07]

I voted for Brandon Roy because I think he has a real shot. If you consider that Chris Paul was on it last year it makes sense Brandon Roy would be on it this year. I had a chance to enter the contest on 2k sports and it had about 15 players on a list, Brandon Roy was on it.

Can anyone post the list of possibilities? I know there is a pool of players that are the only possible choices. I think the contest closed or it won't me see the list because I already voted.

Hey it could be Greg Oden. But Yao Ming and Tmac will just take it out on you:mad:

[RoseCity07]

Even with the rookie rating Oden will probably get again since he didn't play I will still dunk Yao Ming's head through the basket along with the ball. Oden was on the cover of 2k7 college hoops and isn't on the voting list so it's not him.

IMO Roy deserves it big time.

[gibbo3000]

dj mbenga


no .. i vote for roy

[v-unit]

Umm... I was under the inpression that Chris Paul will be the cover athlete for years to come. Just like Shaq was for a couple years. I've anything it should be either Roy, Williams, Durant (Although I can't stand him) or Caron Butler?

I say it can be Deron Williams. hey it can be Lebron. The only blazer i can see is Oden. I can also see KG, even Yao Ming, i can see tony parker too

[gyu]

That'd be a dumb move to have Oden on the cover since he hasn't even played one game in the NBA yet, and no the only Blazer would be Roy.

[Revelation]

How about this?

yeah your right but i just dont see Roy face on the cover just yet dont you think? like i cant walk in the store and see Brandon Roy on NBA 2k9. my gut feeling just dont see it. trust me

[RoseCity07]

I will be kinda mad if that silhouette is the actual cover athlete because I've heard it isn't. I read it's just a outline of someone in the game dunking. Plus it's too far away, it isn't a up close silhouette.

Everyone knew the Chris Paul silhouette was the actual cover athlete because it was a up close picture.

[don juan de marco]

my bet is on Roy


grrrr thats what i keep hearing too that it will be Brandon Roy. I dont want brandon Roys mug looking at me everytime i pop the disc in my 360 as im about to beat the Rosecity07 boy in NBA2k9. why cant it be T mac?

Relax, it's only a guess. It's about time that I get to play with Roy and have a star under his player model. T Mac won't be on it because he is getting old, always has a bad back, and never gets out of the first round. Do you really think it would be fair to put T Mac on the cover so they can make him a cheap player even more. I mean they already make him so all you have to do is hit X and it goes in no matter what.

They need to tone T Mac down and make Roy better. So when I cross over McGrady he doesn't get to get to recover instantly.

Deron Williams is the way to go. :lol

[KaptnKirk12]

Bosh or KG are my first 2 guesses. They generally don't stick with a guy who plays a similar position the next year unless it's the same person ala AI and Shaq.

But if they got LeBron they would easily get a few more sales just because he is on the cover. But is the cover worth 1 million dollars like LeBron asks for?

But since this could be the last game, my guess is KG - nobody else says we are going to fight the EA buyout like KG does on the cover of your best series. And him being in the Finals helps.

[myfishjustdied]

Post it.

the link is right here. Everyone says it looks like Chris Bosh

lol@ jamal99 this internet thug. you big dummy, how did you feel when you wrote bk killer, and u found those kiddie crip pictures? i beat ur mom is so proud

[Dbrog]

If it's Bosh (most likely is), then I may have to do some...construction on the cover involving paste and a dino head

hihihihihi all kobe all the time ^^

[Killer_Instinct]

They gave it to Shaq 2 years in a row. I beleive it'll be Chris Paul again, considering how he played.

[myfishjustdied]

Its official: KEVIN GARNETT IS ON THE COVER OF 2K9

[Dbrog]

YES! I was right (for once)!

[RIMMER]

http://johnd.sytes.net/pics/ish2009.jpg

hihihihihi all kobe all the time ^^

This cover would sell like hotcakes.

[kidachi]

ugggggh, kG. :sleeping

[Sroek]

I love how people all of a sudden start hating on a legendary player just because he plays for a large market team now. What happened when KG was beasting it up in Minnesota? Nobody disrespected him.

Now there's all these morons popping up everywhere hating on a player who's finally getting the praise and publicity he's always deserved his entire career, but was never truly marketted due to being on an irrelevant team. Embarassing.

[jbot]

This cover would sell like hotcakes.

1/2 the posters in this forum would be spanking just waiting in line for it.

[Gevz2kX]

well now I have to buy this game :)

[Kebab Stall]

KG? SNORE

I wonder if he wasn't traded to the Celtics, if he would still have been the choice. But, I guess I can just get a white pen and a red pen and colour in the picture and make it look like Brian Scalabrine.

which is better ?

[PacerRaptor]

Kevin Garnett will be featured on the cover of 2K Sports NBA 2K9 video game, according to The Boston Globe.

"NBA 2K is where it's at. End of story," Garnett said in a statement. "It's the game I play, the game my friends play, and the game anyone in the league serious about video games plays. NBA 2K is the real deal, and until 2K Sports finds 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."

i thought it would have been someone like Chris Paul or Dwight Howard...someone thats never been on the cover before

[Killer_Instinct]

Paul had NBA 2K8.....And I'm sure Dwight was on NBA Ballers: Chosen One. I agree though, I thought they'd get Paul BACK this year, seeing as how well he played this season.
