Kevin Durant on the cover for NBA Elite 11

Very cool news: This year’s NBA Live, which has been renamed to NBA Elite, will feature KD on its cover. From the press release, KD said, “I’ve always been a fan of EA SPORTS,” said Durant. “This has been an exciting year for me and the team, and capping it off with being on the cover of NBA ELITE 11 is cool.”

Durant is only the third player in EA SPORTS history to be featured both on the pack of an NCAA and an NBA licensed product. Durant was featured on the cover of NCAA March Madness 08.

It’s too bad the 2K games are so much better. But I may have to get this one just out of support for KD.
