2K Sports has today shown off the official cover art for NBA 2K11. It features Michael Jordan, this year’s cover athlete. He has his tongue out and seems to be enjoying playing some ball, so good on him. If we had our tongues out while playing basketball, we would look like some kind of diseased poor people.

“It’s exciting to see it all come together,” said Michael Jordan, a recent Hall of Fame inductee. “I am looking forward to seeing the final product, but my kids might have to give me some lessons.” Have a look at the box art after the jump.
