Kevin Garnett is the NBA 2K9 cover athlete

What is CG format?

IS NBA 2K9 GOING TO BE ON PS2?

Lamar Odom for NBA Live

[quote comment="24070"]Lamar Odom for NBA Live[/quote]
yeah because both of them suck

Put Kelly Tripucka on the cover. 2K’s hoop game hasn’t improved since its first trip to the 360….And I have a strong inclination with the infrastructure at 2K getting a little salty that the game will be a port from 2K8 with new rosters…

[quote comment="24063"]First of all, I would almost rule out Pierce for Live 09 because i doubt EA would put another Celtic on the cover… When 2K already has KG…

second im gonna go ahead & have to agree…

KOBE #1
LEBRON #2[/quote]

I guess u havent remember NBA 2k6 and Live 06 eh (Wade and Shaq)

KG looks so damn realistic in the pix

NBA 2K is where it’s AT! End of story,” said Garnett, who is currently playing in the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. “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.“ KG

you do have a good point well lets see what ea does, hey you never know

[quote comment="24044"]it should have been lebron, i wish he didnt exspect so much money he should just do it he already has enough money. If i was a player i would just take it for publicity.[/quote]

you must me 13 years old? It wasn’t Labron for obvious reasons, like there are players in the FINALS like Garnette and Kobe.

Stop watching so much ESPN which spends the better part of the season trying to convince everyone James is already at Jordans level. Garnette is a good choice even though I’m a huge Kobe fan. KG is the right choice considering what he has done for Boston in just a year.

exactly i mean no disrespect to chris paul but he was sure not the best player last year but even though his team did not make the playoffs though, after the hurricane you know he kinda gave new orleans hope so a big reason why he was chosen

[quote comment="24027"]first KG[/quote]
Hell yea Who cares if KG was already on A EA Game This Is 2K Games they r totally different….So Ya KG Would b awsome

hey pasta, why dont u add a few pix on here for 2k9

I liked the Odom idea for the live09 cover. Comparing Garnett to Odom, its like 2k to Ea.
What I have noticed so far, KGs face is amazing, even if it doesnt mean much, hopefully made by the engine of the game, it reminds me to the newest Nvidia tech-demo.
The video is way too short unfortunatelly, but Rays face did not change much since 2k8, but Bryants face looks much better, if You are asking me.
The dunk motion is just average, watching this video is like playing with 2k8, hopefully the upcoming videos are gonna change my opinion.

Stop nitpicking about the graphics. I had 2k8 last year, and my friends convinced me that live 08 was better, so I got that. The graphics, and realisticness of gameplay was such a downgrade. 2k has them in both of these catagories. The graphics in live 08 were pathetic, all the players faces looked the same, and the gameplay was terrible. CANT WAIT FOR 2K9

KG earned it. Have u been 2 a celtics game this year KG rocks the garden. KG sould have 1 MVP Kobe is selfish. I live in Boston belive me! C’s over Lakers in 6. Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

correction hes the second best player

i would gladly take lebron on my team over kobe any day of the week…if lebron had fisher and gasol…he would be in the finals also…

kobe wouldn’t be on NBA Live 09 because women’s rights groups would go nuts…he doesn’t exactly have the squeeky clean image needed to be on a game that is marketed to millions of children…

wow jonathan thats a great reason people are so retarted they they have one thing that kobe didnt even do so they think hes a criminal everyone stop hating on kobe 2k and ea would be lucky to have kobe on their cover

This may come off a little extreme, but 2K8 was easily the most realistic, fun sports game I’ve ever played.

Even after 5 months of play, I’m still seeing new animations, and you never play the same game twice. I love pastapadre, but 2K8 blows Live out of the water.

I think Ray Allen should’ve been on the cover of the new game 2K9,because he was my favorite in this year’s season.
