It’s been a long time coming, but it looks like 2K Games has finally scored the biggest superstar to ever grace the 2K franchise. Yes folks, rumors has it that the most iconic figure in basketball history, none other than Michael Jordan himself will be the cover atlete for NBA 2K11. Forget Kobe and Lebron, back in the days everyone wants to be like Mike and if multiple sources from ESPN is to be believe, his Airness could be playable in the game:

“In addition to acting as cover model for “NBA 2K11,” the speculation is that Jordan will also be digitized into a playable character. This means gamers will become the virtual MJ in hopes of reliving some of his trademark moments.

There’s more. I’ve even heard whispers that 2K has been in negotiations with several players (both teammates and opponents) from the Jordan era to appear in “2K11″ to help gamers and history buffs accurately recreate the heated competition between the classic Bulls and rivals like the Celtics, Knicks and Cavaliers. But since 2K needs to ink all former players to individual contracts, it’s still up in the air whom the company will be able to sign in time to appear in the game.”

You can look forward to next months E3 conference when the game is finally announced.
