2K Sports recently announced that that 11-time NBA All-Star and 2008 Defensive Player of the Year, Kevin Garnett, has been chosen for the cover athlete of their upcoming "NBA 2K9" title.
After leading the Boston Celtics to the greatest single-season turnaround in NBA franchise history, followed by a run to the Finals, Garnett will lend his unmatched passion and on-court intensity to provide dedicated fans with one of the most fun and riveting basketball simulation experience available.
"'NBA 2K' is where it's AT. End of story," said Garnett. "It's the game I play, the game my friends play, and the game anyone in the league serious about videogames plays. 'NBA 2K' is the real deal, and until 2K Sports find a way to plant an elbow in your chest, it's the closest thing to actually being there on the court. I can't tell you how pumped I am to be on the cover of 'NBA 2K9.' It's a real honor. Now watch out! Because this fall 2K Sports and I are going to deliver the best basketball video game out there, period."
"With KG's ongoing support and invaluable input during the development process of 'NBA 2K9,' dedicated 2K Sports fans will be treated to a host of exciting new gameplay features and upgrades this year for an even deeper and more realistic basketball experience than ever before," added Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K.
While the developer has yet to reveal further details about the game, a teaser trailer is up for viewing at 2KSports.com/NBA2K9.
