2K Sports has announced that NBA 2K12 will have three separate covers. The stylized artwork highlights Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson; the Bird and Johnson covers will be available in limited quantities.

“Bringing Michael Jordan to the virtual hardwood last year was a huge success for NBA 2K11; however, we didn’t want to stop there,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “We’re bringing ‘His Airness’ back to the NBA 2K franchise as part of a multi-year extended partnership, along with two other legendary icons — Larry Bird and Magic Johnson — for a special cover athlete collection representing the NBA’s greatest heroes.”
