Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook will be on the cover of NBA Live 16.

The NBA Live 16 cover has been unveiled and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook has been revealed as the cover athlete.

“Russell Westbrook is a player who can do it all, and we can’t imagine a better fit for the cover of NBA LIVE 16,” said EA SPORTS VP of Marketing Anthony Stevenson. “NBA LIVE 16 is all about self-expression, and who better embodies that than Westbrook, both on and off the court? Russell plays every game like he has something to prove. Our team is building NBA LIVE the exact same way, so we’re thrilled to have him as an ambassador for our game.”

Westbrook had a solid season carrying the Thunder by himself, his superstar teammate Kevin Durant missing considerable time with an injury. Westbrook was in the MVP conversation, with 11 triple-doubles this season, seven more than the next closest player.

Unfortunately the Thunder weren’t able to make the playoffs in the tough Western Conference.

EA SPORTS will announce the first gameplay details of NBA LIVE 16 next week at E3, and fans can tune into watch on Monday, June 15 at 1:00pm PT.
