Beginning with the Dream Team, Nike worked up special Olympic editions of kicks, but chose the color combination of navy/gold for the Shox BB4 and the Flightposite II KG.Â This was also Garnett’s last shoe with Nike before ditching the swoosh for And1 – a move not repeated by anyone else.

Pretty big toss up. I can guarantee you that a few Madden covers would have traded their covers for some new cleats in hindsight

yo didnt he already have a 2k cover… how is this better than last time

i swear to God he was on a cover of Live before

NBA Live and NBA 2kX are two separate franchises. EA Sports is behind NBA Live while 2k Sports is behind the 2k line.

KG must be a gamer head because I don’t know about that. No one remembers who is on the cover of a video game the next year, but that lineup of his shoes will last far beyond his playing career.
Look at Mike. MJ didn’t get on any covers as I recall and that man will be forever remembered by the shoes he had.

This isnt KGs first game cover. He was on the cover of live 01

Any game cover will never be more special than signature shoes and thats a fact.

it doesnt matter which cover he was on the fact is.. well at least to me is that he like being on a cover more than a his own snkr and im with him on an nba player stand point well if i was one how many ppl have their own shoes? and how many ppl the cover of a game thats y its important mj doesnt have a cover because he didnt want one i remember in earlier games he didnt even want his face in the game funny dude he like his bread
Adamyo
yes he was on 2001 http://www.tycromedia.com/images/PS2-NBA-Live-2001.gif
but i think the 2k8 one looks better it probably has more meaning kuz this was the year he won the championship its all in the eye of the beholder
homerpimpson

xnyles
i rent both nba games cuz i love basketball
greenmaker24

Deezy
Someone remind him that he was on nba live 2001 too
owill21
KG has been on a cover NBA LIVE 2001 i have da game!!!!!!!
cee mackk
I agree with #14. Nowadays, everybody got their own shoe so its not special like it used to be.

Pic #3 actually looks great with jeans. They were designed for such. “Maybe next time you should do a little research.”-Geico Caveman

I have the Nike Air Garnett 3 without the air bubble.

Honestly I don’t see why this is a huge shock. Is it really odd that he personally likes being on the cover of NBA 2K9 over his shoe deals? Maybe looking at the picture makes him remember exactly what he was thinking in the finals at that moment…maybe looking at himself on the cover of NBA 2k9 brings him back thinking about that championship year and all he went through prior to signing with Boston and winning the NBA title…more so then when he looks at the shoes.

I GOTTA GET THE 2K9 NOW I WAS CONCIDERING SWITCHING TO THE LIVE AFTER I DOWNLOADED THE DEMO BUT NOW IM BACK ON THE 2K
Shoepa man
BRING BACK THE ESPN NFL 2K GAMES RIGHT NOW!

Only like 25 players in history have been on the cover of a game…so I understand what he is saying

Jordan… why won’t the video games put him on there? I would love to play with him, especially in the 2K games where they very accurately replicate the shots, and moves and swagger of the big stars. It would be incredible to experience Jordan’s game in your own hands!

KG was on the cover of NBA Live 01. THAT was his first cover! FOR PETE’S SAKE!!!
pure playa
