2K Games picked NBA MVP Kevin Durant to appear on the cover of their NBA 2K15. Today, EA Sports chose a slightly more unorthodox pick, Damian Lillard of the Portland Trails Blazers, to headline NBA Live 15.
Lillard will begin his third season in the NBA this Fall. Last year, he was selected to the All-Star team and lead the Trail Blazers to the playoffs. During All-Star Weekend, he partnered with Trey Burke of the Utah Jazz to win the Skills Challenge and lead “Team Hill” to victory in the Rising Stars Challenge. He also competed in the Slam Dunk Contest and the Three-Point Shootout.
Lilliard had another busy weekend recently when he traveled to EA Canada’s studio for a photo shoot and a mo-cap session. NBA Live 15 will be available for the PS4 and Xbox One on October 7.
