I knew it! T-Mac was on the 06 commercial, and then he was featured on the XBox360 Previews. I'm having a great day. Dallas loses the Finals and T-Mac gets the cover.
Yeah, there really isn't much of a curse for Live. The curse is mostly just for other EA sports games, including their football games (mostly Madden, but probably Street and Head Coach as well), Fight Night, their NHL games, and even their NASCAR games (Ricky Williams, Bill Cowher, Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, Marshall Faulk, Eddie George, Dany Heatley, Roy Jones Jr., Dale Earnhardt, etc). You have to stretch things a little bit to try to make out a curse for people on the cover of Live; the only thing I can take from the list of players is that each of them usually make it to the playoffs but never win it (except for Shaq, Duncan, and now Wade and Walker...although Wade was the only one to win it the same year he was on the cover). I wouldn't worry too much about T-Mac being on the cover...unless there is some sort of EA Sports + Houston Rockets curse. Even in that case, the Rockets might still benefit somehow, although I'd feel sorry for T-Mac. Minor point, but I think you meant the PS3 previews. Here's a link to those videos for anyone that missed them: http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/sports/nbalive07/media.html
I found the new cover! JK! Finally getting T-mac on the cover is exciting but it would be better if they had Yao and T-mac
Im not surprised cause last year T-mac was in 3 or 4 basketball commercials last year and thats a nice amount
