While Dwayne Wade, Lebron James and Chris Bosh prepare to select their teams for the next 5 to 6 years, Chicago Bulls staple and legend Michael Jordan is gearing up to return to the video game basketball scene in NBA 2K11.

2K Games calls the upcoming Michael Jordan cover for NBA 2K11 “possibly be the most highly anticipated cover art in the history of sports games.” It’s certainly a departure from anything they’ve done in the past with Jordan’s signature tongue sticking out and “The Greatest of All-Time” stamped across the top.

“Its exciting to see it all come together,” said Jordan about the game’s progress. “I am looking forward to seeing the final product, but my kids might have to give me some lessons.”

NBA 2K11 will be released this October on Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Wii and the PC.
