Chris Paul to grace NBA K8's cover - Image 1 We know next to nil about 2K Sports' next basketball video game, NBA 2K8, but we did get news as to who will grace its cover. It was just announced that 2006 Rookie of the Year, Chris Paul will be the upcoming video game's cover boy.

If you've been living under a rock, Chris Paul is a native of Winston-Salem, North Carolina and he's currently playing for the New Orleans Hornets. He got the most votes for the Rookie of the Year award, a whopping 124 out of 125 votes. Paul is expected to play in the 2008 Beijing Olympics with Team USA. Aside from being an exemplary baller, Paul is also a gamer.

He had this to say about being on the cover:

It's a great honor to be a part of the best NBA video game title, let alone the guy on the cover. I'm a big time video gamer and itÂ’s a dream come true to be on the cover and represent the next NBA 2K game, NBA 2K8.


NBA 2K8 will be featuring an improved Signature Style feature and a lot more animation than its predecessors. We'll keep you posted on more news and info regarding the title so keep checking back.

I could care less about whos on the cover. I just want to see the game already. I've owned every NBA 2K there has been and I love the game. I can't wait until it comes out. I just hope they fix the models faces on this one. Last season they looked like total crap on alot of the models.

also have to fix rebounding.. i hate playing the opponent on hall of fame and destroying them offensively but i end up loosing by 2 because they out rebounded me 45 - 20 and thats with every team i choose. The ball just floats right over my players and into the smallest guys hands or directly to the pc player. also have to make dunking in the paint harder because im tired of tim duncan going 10/10 and 9 of them are dunks when i play solid D.
