Sources: Michael Jordan on NBA 2K11 Cover

NBA 2K11 may also have plans to feature MJ as a playable character in the game as well. Via ESPN: “While rumors pegged LeBron James, Derrick Rose and even Tyreke Evans as favorites to appear on the cover of ‘NBA 2K11,’ multiple sources have told ESPN that the company has gone in a completely different direction, signing basketball legend Michael Jordan as its new spokesman. This will be the first time that a former player will appear on the front of the box for 2K, and with Jordan taking over majority ownership of the Charlotte Bobcats, it will also be the first time that a team owner will endorse the popular franchise.”
