NBA superstar, Michael Jordan, may be taking the spotlight from other NBA stars again – and this time without ever setting foot on a basketball court. Multiple sources are reporting that video game NBA 2K11 will feature the old school Michael Jordan (the 23 not the 45) on the cover. Here’s the official rumor from ESPN:

I’ve even heard whispers that 2K has been in negotiations with several players (both teammates and opponents) from the Jordan era to appear in “2K11” to help gamers and history buffs accurately recreate the heated competition between the classic Bulls and rivals like the Celtics, Knicks and Cavaliers. But since 2K needs to ink all former players to individual contracts, it’s still up in the air whom the company will be able to sign in time to appear in the game.
