Rumor has it....
that CP3 will be the cover athlete for NBA 2K8. Anyone here hear anything about this? I don't think it's been announced by 2KSports though.

Maybe it is Daniel Gibson. The people at the 2KSports forum are thinking it's Paul.

Re: Rumor has it....
I wouldn't be surprised if it is him, although Marvin deserves it more IMHO.

Dude, you bring some interesting perspectives, but what the **** man?!
Paul has better stats, done more for his team, and is just... better!
Come on, how do you argue this?
Williams was injured? So was Paul!
Williams played behind Childress/Smith/whoever?
Well he can't be that damn good then!
Come on, seriously?

How well is the Knicks Starters vs NBA Team Starters? 60%? 50%? 40%? or are we waiting to see by being optimistic because we have a new additional player in the Starting lineup that we assume Stat sheet record says he is better with this Knick roster than the guy he is replacing?

 Don't even worry about oiatl. He's always trying to make it about "Marvin".
Back to what this thread is actually about. If that is indeed the shadow of the player they plan on using, I'd have to say that pic really looks like it would be a perfect fit into that shadow.

Re: Rumor has it....
Oh don't get me wrong, I love the guy (i'd like to point out at this stage I haven't been to America in a long, long time!)
But every once inna while..
I see him as the less annoying, more entertaining (hawks) version of Sixersfan (xept he doesnt bandwagon) or Amareca (but less... just less!)
But yeah, Chris Paul fits, though after Hurricane Katrina, is it really right putting a Nawlins player on a video-game cover?
I mean, let's face it, bad things always happen, and the Hornets already have an oft-injured Peja..

What does Hurricane Katrina have to do with putting a New Orleans player on the cover of a video game? Should Reggie Bush not be on a cover because of Hurricane Katrina? Please explain.

Re: Rumor has it....
I was under the impression players who get put on video-game covers tend to suffer injuries (or horrible misfortune) - though this may just be the NBAlive franchise..
But anyway, i was thinking, Nawlins' suffered enough misfortune, it doesn't need Chris Paul out for the year
(and I don't follow the NFl ((please say Reggie's a footbal player...!))

Yes, people associate NBALive and NFL's Madden Football with injuries. Although I'm sure there have been players to grace video game covers that have not suffered significant injuries. I'm not a video game player so I don't know nor do I follow their covers. Reggie was on EA's NCAA Football 07. Hopefully Paul got his injury out of the way last season. Gilbert Arenas is on the new NBA Live. Hopefully he got his injury out of the way last season too.

Re: Rumor has it....
Bah, I don't like Gilbert Arenas.
Plus cover-athletes tend to get... improved.
He'll be shouting Hibachi from his own bloody paint at the end of each possession on Live thi year then..
As for the Paul thing, I agree. Can't believe Atlanta passed up on Paul/Williams (just in case Hawksfan is still lurking in this thread  )
