http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/sports/13741026.htmJames and his management team are in talks with EA Sports about a video game endorsement contract. The sports game industry leader makes the wildly popular John Madden NFL video game along with the Tiger Woods PGA Tour game. The brand's NBA game, NBA Live, doesn't have a player's name attached to it, but the company has used fellow stars Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade in recent marketing campaigns. James hasn't picked up a major new endorsement deal since midway through his rookie season, when he signed on with gum brand Bubblicious.
They are already going to decide who's gonna be on the cover? I remember Wade wasn't asked to be on it 'til like summertime last year.
It sounds like they are considering making it called something like LeBron James NBA 07 kind of like Madden 06.

People know it as 'NBA Live' and that's how they know that it's better than the ESPN games.

He will be on it. I was surprised he wasn't this year, although Wade was deserving too. I'd be in total shock if he wasn't on the cover of 2007...
Kobe should be on it. The manw as one of the top vote getters this year, and after all those scoring marks, who better to put there?
