LeBron James is Cover Athlete for NBA 2K14
2K Sports has announced that reigning MVP LeBron James will be the cover athlete for NBA 2K14. The news likely would have been pushed back had the Pacers knocked the Heat out of the playoffs but instead 2K can now celebrate nabbing the best player in the league - maybe necessary to avoid a promotional letdown after the exceptional representation they secured for the last three NBA 2K covers.
