NBA 2K10's cover athlete is...Kobe Bryant! photo

I'll flat out admit it: I'm taking one for the team while Samit is at E3 and posting this. At least I know who Kobe Bryant is, so this post isn't going to be a complete failure.

But yes, Kobe Bryant has made it onto the cover of NBA 2K10 for the first time. If you're a big sports fan, you can go over to NBA 2K's website and vote for which Kobe Bryant cover you want to see on the final version of the game, which we've got down below in the gallery.

Now, a big question: does this actually matter?

To you or me, no, it doesn't. Ask Samit if it matters, though.

I don't like Kobe but he was found innocent and the woman that accused him pretty much made up the whole thing.

I don't see how anyone half decent in bed (or life) would ever have to say, "we had consensual sex, but I can see how she could have seen in as rape."

lol kobe.

Ahhh, thanks for clearing that up, Tubatic. I'm just going to pretend it's the curleh mustache thing anyway, which is much cooler.

Wow so many haters. Kobe hasnt been in a cover for either 2k or Live so this is indeed BIG

Im so happy indeed, 2k is definitely spending the big bucks. Lets see they got KG and now Kobe?

before it was like Iverson for 4 years and Shaq for 2 straight years

@Kyousuke

He wasn't found innocent. He settled with the girl and paid an undisclosed amount of money. You don't settle if you're innocent.
