"Making the jump from Syracuse to the NBA, and now from the cover of NCAA March Madness to NBA LIVE, is an incredible honor," said Anthony, who was on the cover of EA’s college basketball game last year after leading Syracuse to the 2003 NCAA title. "To think that I could now be on the cover and help introduce a new generation to NBA LIVE is an awesome feeling."
