"I've worked closely with 2K Sports since NBA 2K10, and I'm honored to follow in the footsteps of Michael Jordan as the latest Chicago Bull to be featured on the cover. Can you name the NBA 2K Cover Athletes (Standard Edition). "It's a dream come true to be one of the cover athletes for NBA 2K13," commented Rose, the 2010-11 NBA Most Valuable Player, who led the Bulls to a league-best 50-16 record this season.

"The NBA 2K series has always been my first choice when I want to get a game in." New York, NY J 2K Sports today announced that the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant, Los Angeles Clippers’ Blake Griffin and the Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose have been crowned the cover athletes for NBA® 2K13, the next installment of the top-selling and top-rated NBA video game simulation franchise. "There's so much young talent around the NBA, so it's very exciting to be chosen for NBA 2K's 'New Dynasty' alongside Kevin and Derrick," added Griffin, who helped lead the Clippers to their first postseason since 2006. "It's humbling to grace the cover after the likes of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird." If nothing else, Im assuming all three will be involved in future commercials for NBA 2K13. "Being crowned as one of the NBA 2K13 cover athletes is a great way to cap off what has been an amazing season ," said Durant, who won his third straight scoring title and led the Thunder franchise to their first NBA Finals appearance since 1996. Although theyve repeated cover players before, as recently as last year no less, my guess would be Rose or Griffin over Kobe since he had the 2K10 cover.
