First Clues on NBA 2K13 Cover Athletes Revealed

For fans of video games, seeing the official box art for a game they’re interested in is a special occasion.  More and more companies have begun to realize this and presented “unique” ways to unleash their cover.

2K Sports has started a campaign that allows fans to “Unlock the Cover”.  By fans tweeting #UncoverNBA2k, they’ll begin to reveal clues to who the cover athlete(s) will be.  After a huge amount of tweets have poured in, fans have unveiled what appears to be the first big clues.

The cover above is obviously not the real cover, but presents quite a few clues as to who the athletes may be.  Two of the objects, the spider and roses, appear to point to Kevin “Durantula” Durant and Derrick Rose.  My NBA Live Pad seems to believe that the third player would be Blake Griffin, however.  It does seem plausible seeing that the bird could be the mystical “griffin”, but there’s no sure answer there.

Who do you think will be on the cover of NBA 2K13 this year?  What features do you hope to see out of the title?  Be sure to let us know what you think by leaving us a comment below, or discuss NBA 2K13 in our forums.
