mcgradyHouston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Tracy McGrady is the new face of NBA Live 07. Aside from gracing the cover of the best-selling ea-sports/2880" id="tag" title="">EA Sports title, the electrifying nine-year NBA veteran will serve as the spokesperson and centerpiece of NBA Live 07 advertising, marketing, and packaging in North America and several other countries.

With two NBA scoring titles under his belt, McGrady embodies the athleticism that NBA Live 07 adds to the gameplay experience. He led the league in scoring by averaging 32.1 points per game in 2003. Since then, he has remained one of the most explosive and entertaining players in the NBA.

"I've always looked upon the EA SPORTS athletes as fan favorites, so I'm honored to be named this year's NBA Live 07 cover athlete and join the EA SPORTS family. Each year, there is tremendous anticipation around the league as players wait to see themselves in NBA Live and I feel like this year my virtual self plays more like me than ever before. This is as close to playing in the NBA as you get.", McGrady said.

McGrady joins an exclusive list of superstar athletes previously featured on the cover of the best-selling NBA Live franchise, including Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat (2006), Carmelo Anthony (2005), Vince Carter (2004), and Jason Kidd (2003).

NBA Live 07 will introduce Total Freestyle Control, a new feature that gives gamers more control over players. Fan-favorite features like All-Star Weekend and Dynasty Mode have also been enhanced to deliver more authentic gameplay.

This year, NBA Live 07 will partner with ESPN to deliver more content in-game while you play. The most advanced ESPN integration package with never-before-seen features will be available only through the game. NBA Live 07 is scheduled to be released in the fall.

I've been wondering. Was Dwayne Wade the first player to be on the cover of NBA Live and win the championship the same year?
