NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade will serve as cover athlete and spokesman for
NBA Live 06, scheduled for release this fall under the EA Sports brand. Wade is in his second season with the Miami Heat, where he set single-season franchise records for points per game (24.1) and total points scored (1,854) in helping to lead the HEAT to the top seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
?This is quite an honor to be named cover athlete of NBA Live in just my second year as a professional,? Wade said. ?When you look back at some of the great players who have had this opportunity, it?s exciting to be a part of the EA Sports family and contribute to a game I?ve been playing for more than 10 years.?
