Michael Jordan to Appear on NBA 2K11 Cover

“We’ve made a lot of progress over the past 10 years, but we know we have the best NBA video game ever made here,” Argent stated. “So we thought to ourselves how can we embody that and there was only one person on that list who we wanted to have and that was Michael Jordan. Actually getting this done is the most ridiculous win of all-time.”
No further details have been released as to what role Michael Jordan (the video game Michael Jordan) will play in the highly anticipated video game; however MJ himself is ready to return to the game…virtually.
“It’s an honor to be featured on the cover of NBA 2K11,” said Michael Jordan. “I have no doubt that NBA 2K11 will be a big hit with gamers and basketball fans alike. I’m looking forward to getting back out on the court, virtually.”

The 40-year-old, perennial All-Star is among the all-time leaders in many statistical categories in the history of the game including home runs (5th/630), multi-homer games (T7th/55), extra base hits (T6th/1,192), total bases (12th/5,271), runs scored (31st/1,662), doubles (36th/524), intentional walks (4th/246) and hits (46th/2,781).
