Magic Johnson, Larry Bird & Michael Jordan To Grace Cover Of NBA 2K12


The NBA 2K12 commercial that premiered during the NBA Finals

2K Sports is continuing what they started with last year’s incarnation, adding Larry and Magic to the next incarnation of their 2K series. Maybe they’ll allow their respective retro teams to be used during online games as well; I’m sure everybody who played 2K11 got tired of wack players jumping straight to the Heat (you know who you are). Check out the covers down bottom.

  1. 2k Winning

  2. OMG do u get to pikk tha one u want or sumthin….jesus

  3. Nice… I think they should change the colors of the backgrounds to match the jerseys though!

  4. Already got this on pre-order gotta get the MJ one. For those still on 2k11 xbox holla @ me Kent G13

  5. they better fix the fucking passing in this iteration…

  6. how’re they gonna have a game, but no season??? the rosters won’t even be current if the lockout ends…smh. I wish i could say theyre winning, but big fail.

  7. Thats why they have jordan, bird and magic on their cover cause of the lockout…but they still have the schedule and they can make updates to the roster when the NBA comes back

  8. hmmm…. im disappointed by the covers nobody wanna see these old ass niggas on a fuckin video game cover but that aint stoppin me from buying…. just gonna keep killin niggas online like i usually do.. hopefully this time they let u play witt the old teams online tho and fix that weak ass crew shit…

  9. oo shit lol put them all on the cover

  10. lame commercial but love the covers. looks good.

  11. ^word @JWest. except for the long as ooo :P but they can do that though. magic- left, bird- middle & jordan- rigth. should look dope

  12. NBA hasn’t been this popular/packed with stars in how many years? And they gotta put retro players on again? The lockout has nothing to do with it, they still could’ve put whatever player on the cover. EA did the whole cover voting bracket thing for madden during the lockout. They probably just added new legendary game bullshit challenges for Bird and Magic and everything else will be the same because 2k11 was so successful

  13. and they also went a bit overboard with the “noise” effect on the players for the covers. What the fuck it looks like some demon is about to eat them if they don’t hit their shots. and why the fuck does magic get electricity? fuck everything about this

  14. there shud be a lockout mode in it lol. David Stern on the cover

  15. i bought 2k11 only because nba elite flopped and because they had mj on the cover but let’s be honest 2ksports is fuckin wack i might by one for the cover tho

  16. Yo that Bird cover is hot. Check out the ugly cover they were originally gonna go with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqB46quhYZs

  17. lol @ joeproblems

  18. Why have a game w/ no season what rosters are they going to use? I want that Turkish League 2K12, or Chinese League 2K12.

  19. May as well call it nba2k11.5 smdh

  20. I love 2K, but Im sorry I think putting players who arent currently playing is gay. There are so many people to put on the cover [Dirk, D.Rose, Wade/Lebron, Melo, etc]. I dont even like the classic modes too much anyway. But I saw this up there and hell yeah, the Crew shit is slack they need to update it.

  21. if this was a REAL game simulator people who use the heat should never make a basket wit lebron in the 4th quarter =P

  22. Straight up, every year the player on the cover should either be last years finals MVP.

  23. “it looks like some demon is about to eat them if they don’t hit their shots”

    LOL!

  24. Anyone who likes EA is automatically suspect in any video game argument. EA hasn’t been relevant basketball wise since 98. They won’t even be releasing a game this year. As far as the other complaints ya’ll sound like a bunch of babies Wanting the game to hold your hand and shit. That demon line was classic though. Lastly due to the lockout all a current player could get is a headshot with no jersey showing since as of right now they’re unemployed.

  25. Wanted to see Derrick on it….
