As the Los Angeles Lakers begin their season tonight, taking on the Portland Trailblazers, I’d like to let all my fellow Lakers fans out there know that we aren’t the only ones who believe our team will go all the way. NBA Live 09 thinks we have what it takes to be champs once again! Read more…

With the NBA season quickly approaching, we’ve got a handful of NBA games being released this week including NBA 2K9, NBA Live 09, NBA Live 09 All-Play and NBA ‘09: The Inside.

Even with all the hatred in world for Tony Parker and his Spurs, I’m here to announce that after seven years in the NBA, two NBA All-Star appearances and three NBA Championships (ugh, that was hard for me to note), Tony Parker has finally reached the pinnacle point of his career when EA announced today that he will be the NBA Live 09 worldwide cover athlete.
