MICHAEL JORDAN ON COVER OF NBA 2K12

Considered the greatest basketball video game ever made, it was always going to be a tough ask for 2K Sports to one-up last year's epic NBA 2K11. Produced in conjunction with Michael Jordan and featuring His Airness on the cover, it seemed the only way way 2K12 could possibly live up to it's predecessor was to... be produced in conjunction with Michael Jordan and feature His Airness on the cover! Yes, the 2K12 cover is graced yet again by Michael Jordan, busting a move in the Air Jordan XIII. (Oh, and he's bought along a couple of friends for a pair of alternate covers as well... you might know them!)

AdiZero Crazy Lights

The adiZero Crazy Light has been pushing hard with some aggressive new ads that literally take a piece of their on-court rivals. Now comes the latest installer of adi's 'The 'Other' Guys' campaign, where a Jordan Fly Wade is split with an axe to demonstrate the comparative lightness of Derrick Rose's new kicks. Adi's been something of a fringe player in basketball ever since Michael Jordan famously caved in to the Swoosh hard sell and signed with Nike despite his boyhood love for the Three Stripes. Will this new combative attitude helps adidas make a meaningful dent into the Jordan juggernaut? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqlOSmsGnRo&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI2A1Vfomcs&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Es7eYlO1NI&feature=player_embedded
