No, not really.

But the big news out of E3 in Los Angeles this morning is that Kobe Bryant (notes) will be featured on the cover of 2K Sports' basketball video game NBA 2K10 — in Lakers' purple and gold, of course — and the pose he ultimately strikes will be up to you, the fans, to decide.

There are four covers to choose from (gracias, FirstCuts), including the personal favorite of die-hard New Yorker Spike Lee: Kobe "doin' work" in a No. 17 Knicks uniform. Though, actual votes for that one probably won't count, so you can stop clearing your Internet browser's cookies, Mike D'Antoni.

An exclusive 30-second television commercial, starring Spike, will air during the NBA Countdown pre-game show for Game 1 of the NBA Finals between Bryant's Lakers and the Orlando Magic tonight.

Here are a few screen grabs of the spot to give you a feel for what it will look like:

Kobe, Dwight and Obama!
Black Mamba rhymes with Barack Obama!
New York rhymes with Doin' Work!
Spike Lee sounds like an adverb!

I don't think Kone is that stupid to go to New York? Take Jordan for example: look what happened to him when he went to Washington, couldn't even make it to the playoffs.

D Watts - you can see Michael Jordan do that too because that is where Kobe stole it from. I would rather see Kobe on the cover and hope every game don;t come with a specially made Spike Lee doll holding the case up. That would be the ultimate bandwagoner dream!
If Lebron goes to New York -watch Spike Lee jet across the States to New York.
Ironically, this is the same treatment the Patriots were getting when they went 19- oh wait, 18-1

The one on the left please. Kobe's legs are not his best feature.

Why would Kobe be wearing a #17 jersey on the Knicks? No one on the Knicks roster wears #24. Just a question, not hating. I'll still buy the game when it comes out on PS3.

First off Spike Lee's a major tool. He lives off criticizing NBA players when i haven't even heard of any of the movies or films he made. Take Reggie Miller for example. Spike called him out at a game (forgot who they were against) but Reggie stroke back by hitting back to back 3's. First he made a 3, then the second one came out of a steal and made it. He looked at Spike Lee and gave him the choke sign. Kobe actually looks great in a Knicks jersey, but it kinda feels awkward looking at him in that uniform. I'd pick the first one coz it looks intense. The second one's rather the traditional off the dribble cover.

Dwight Howard should be on the cover, especially since the Magic are going to win this Finals series.

You will never see Kobe in a Knick uniform. 2009-2011 3-peat once again.
