Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose will grace the cover together on the latest NBA 2K video game when it is released on October 2, 2012.
The cover art of NBA 2K 13 is changing from having legendary basketball players such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird on the cover. Instead, three young all stars, who were also Rookies of the Year, will do the honors of having their likeness on the NBA 2K 13 video game cover.

Kevin Durant who led the Oklahoma City Thunder to the NBA finals said it is humbling to be on the cover in the same vein as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Derrick Rose, last year's Most Valuable Player (MVP), described the honor of being on the cover as a dream come true. Blake Griffin said with so much basketball talent around, it's exciting to be on the cover with Durant and Rose.
Why the change? According to 2K Games vice president of marketing, Jason Argent, 2K Games chose who they believe are the three youngest, most exciting, hottest NBA players for the cover. In his words: "These guys represent the future of the league."
