Guess who he was supposedly picked over :D

[Diesel70ChipOnWhite]

FU Lebron!!!!!

If this is true, i think its great for not only Gil, but for the Wizards as a whole. the publicity can be nothing but good for the franchise.

Props Gil!!!!!

and Lebron...........eat :pooh:

[ACW]

You know, I wonder if this was Gil's big announcement: maybe there are 4 million copies of the game.

[arenasisgod]

Interesting considering he's a devout 2K sports player. Bet he's got stipulations in his contract that make him dead that. A brilliant move by EA, no other athlete has linked himself with actual video gaming as much as Gilbert.

[MoochieDC_86]

by the way ur sig is killing it. Thats a sweet sig right there ^^^^

[The Nations Team]

F LEBRON. They should change the title of the game to Hibatchi Live.

[Diesel70ChipOnWhite]

Now thats just a BRILLIANT idea!!!

Seriously.

:applause:

:notworthy

Hibachi Live 08!!

[Diablo23]

Woo Woo!!

Too bad 2k series is the better NBA game..

Hopefully Live gets there act together for 08.

[DoGood28]

This is enough to make me go out and buy that game for sentimental purposes despite having no plans to buy a BBall game. I might not even take it out of the package.

[Warhead36]

Live is garbage but if the gawd is on the cover I gotta snag a copy.

[thelarkascend1ng]

hahahahaha eff you lebron

[r2k64]

Same. Congrats Gil!!!

Here's Gil's reaction to being on the cover of the game:

Lol, that's great. He's so happy. Again, congrats Gil, well deserved. :applause:

[Sticksboi05]

YES!!!!! YES!!!! The second DC sports star to graze an EA title in the year (Ovechkin NHL 07). Now let's get Clinton Portis on Madden 09.

Good point! Put Tony Romo on!

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

Good point! Put Tony Romo on!

EXCELLENT idea! :laugh:

[Winslowalrob]

Its official. I will buy NBA live after swearing it off for being a crappy franchise. Gibby could take a dump, put it in a bag, and I would buy it. I could probably turn his turd into a better basketball shoe than whatever Lebron is hawking anyways.

By the way, best basketball bame ever: tie between NBA JAM TE and Kobe Bryant Courtside on the N64.

Why do you post here?

[LightAgent]

You cant have a light hearted conversation about your own team without people spitting poison?

[skinsfan07]

YEAAAAAAAAAAA

At least there's no NBA Live curse. Like there is a Madden curse. If so, hopefully Arenas already paid his due. Too bad I'm not gonna buy it though. NBA Live sucks. I'm getting NBA 2K8 when it comes out. Best sports simulation game I've ever played.

[GOSKINS_08]

Thats great for Gilbert and the Wizards!

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

:laugh: He's like Skins247 is in the Tailgate

woah Woah! NBA Live 08 is going to be really good. Check out this interview:

[ACW]

Will it come out for the original Xbox though?

[Sticksboi05]

Don't matter to me, I have a Wii. :D Hopefully it does for you.

Good Show.

As I browse these forums, I notice this "TheGift" character likes to call out frauds...

Hrmm.. Maybe certain companies besides Nike are starting to realize Jebron Lames is way so overrated that they are going the route of talent than the route of what Nike is forcing down your throat with commercials and endorsements. Now, I dont question his talent..(Or his ability to do a 5-step drive and not get called for travelling, or the exhorbent ghost calls he gets.) But he is far from the so-called "2nd calling" after Jordan.

To me, the biggest fraud is James. Handing the NBA to him with a silver spoon because some company said so...

Be a man and not a sheep bro. Dont follow what someone tells you to and make your own damn decisions.

[TheREALJBird]

Sweet cover:cheers:

[GOSKINS_08]

That cover is nice!!

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Guess the gold uni's aren't so ugly after all.

[XxSpearheadxX]

I'd have to see it to believe it, Gilbert has come out and said how much NBA live sucks on numerous occasions...who knows! :)

LOL You are so right. he says hes an NBA2k player... But, to be on the cover of a videogame? How can you pass that up? I hate NBA Live, but this is definitely the time to pick a copy up:D

[Diablo23]

First screens of Gil from Live 08... Not too shabby
