The cover picture features Kevin Durant in a white Oklahoma City Thunder jersey and will be available for purchase in October.
Durant, was the NBA's scoring champion last season averaging 30.1 points per game and with those numbers he became the youngest player to lead the league in scoring. Furthermore, KD was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2007 draft and won the Rookie of the Year award.
According to the Associated Press, Durant hopes he'll be signed up to wear that jersey for a long time and he will get the opportunity to negotiate an extension with the Thunder on July 1 and he said Tuesday that "hopefully something gets done."
Durant is signed with the Thunder through next season under his original rookie contract.
