2K12 covers: MJ, Magic & Larry

It's my understanding that because of the lockout they can't use current players. Just like how the NBA.com website has a bunch of retired players and not current players on it.

good call

When are they releasing the one with Greg Oden?

2k will stand for the number of surgeries he has on his knees

In your version, is he laying on the floor with a towel under his head during the timeouts?

Incorrect. They have a deal with the NBAPA in place already, so they could have put a current player on the cover. They probably choose to go with Bird, Johnson and Jordan because the current players are going through a lockout. It's better to sell on nostalgia when there will be no free-agency movement, no trades happening and the rookies won't be immediately available.

Oh, going with the Magic cover. Growing up he was my favorite player, still is, and having him on the cover of my favorite series just seems right.

Going to buy Magic's. Larry on the cover would okay too, but I just wouldn't get Jordan's because I already have 2K11.

I think I'll get the Bird one if there is a choice.
