How many of you out there grew up playing NBA Jam and wished they had a Michael Jordan character so you could control a player with the G.O.A.T.’s skills? I always just wanted to see what his levels would have been in the game’s player selection area. He would have had to have been full power on all skills right? Maybe, slightly less than full power on three’s I guess…
Well if you always wanted to ‘be like Mike’ in a game simulation, you may just get your wish after all. According to an ESPN source, the producers of NBA 2K11 have signed ‘his airness’ to be the cover boy. What makes this especially interesting, is the contract would stipulate the need for a Jordan playing character in the game. It is also worthy of note that Jordan still topped Lebron James, Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans among others for the cover spot, even though he’s no longer even an active player. This would be a first, and also as the new owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, it would be the first time an NBA franchise owner has graced the cover of an NBA videogame.

Re: Michael Jordan to Grace Cover - 2k11
That's really respectful to do that.
I can't wait to play it, but I would question whether or not he's the best in all areas, ya know? And keep in mind, he had Jackson as a coach, Pippen, Rodman, Harper, Longley, Kukoc, Kerr, Grant, etc. on his side.
Bill Russell (from college to olympics to retirement) won 14 out of 17 championships, 11 out of 13 of which were in the NBA.
It's hard to compare Kobe to Jordan. They're both very motivated people, but statistically Jordan is better. It's arguable that Kobe has less support from teammates and also more legendary people to play against. It's also arguable that Kobe just isn't as good. All I can base this off of is when they played against each other, with Kobe coming off of the bench as a Laker and outscoring Jordan. But eh, Jordan was almost to retirement by then (for the first time).
Lebron James: Give him a coach. Give him a team. In due time, he'll be unequivocally the best player ever. But in Jordan's defense, Allen Iverson was once said to have the potential to be the greatest back in the early new millenia, and now he's not even considered. Jordan was a consistent winner.
There are definitely others to consider, as well. Kareem? Wilt? I've even heard Duncan thrown up in the mix. Yes, we all love Jordan, but let's look at things more analytically...
