The cover of NBA 2K10 is set to be announced tonight with Kobe Bryant taking the honors. Bryant has been on the cover of numerous other NBA games in the past most recently on SCEA’s NBA series. He averaged 26.8 ppg this season and nearly 30 ppg in the playoffs and has helped to lead the Lakers to the NBA Finals.

There is another angle to the cover announcement. There are four different versions of the cover to choose from and 2K Sports is going to let the public vote to decide which one ultimately becomes the cover beginning tomorrow. While that is a nice way to get people involved with the game it does go a step further with the options.

Recently Spike Lee did the Kobe Doin’ Work documentary and they are together again here as he will help to promote the game. However that also means that Kobe as a Knick is one of the options. If I was a Lakers fan the idea of that would probably be offensive and I suspect they won’t be happy to find out he signed off on this idea even though it has no shot of being used. Even if it were to win the vote 2K would undoubtably go with the runner-up.

Seriously, she was just a gold digger.

Also, Kobe's one of the more humble guys in the game today. I don't remember the last time he's been arrogant or cocky towards anyone.

Yes Live is gonna impress just like what they did with TONY PARKER last year

Ohhh….its true

http://intensedebate.com/people/cabrillo24 cabrillo24

That had to be the second or third most dissapointing cover athlete in NBA Live History (first going to Antoine Walker). The other being T-Mac after having such a limited and injury riddled season prior to being announced.

def would be ridiculous if kobe in the knick jersey wins the vote…..its already in 2nd in voting lol……but who came up with number 17? the one on the left got my vote…..looked more natural…..and EA will undoubtedly try to score lebron lol

http://intensedebate.com/people/cabrillo24 cabrillo24

Yeah Lebron would be the neutralizing cover, or maybe even Dwight Howard since EA has really restructured the rebounding physics & animations..it's been 8 years since they've had a big man on the cover (Garnett 2001).

As a lifelong and die hard Laker fan, that knick picture is sacrilege and all evidence of it should be destroyed.
