Russell Westbrook’s New Face of NBA Live 16

Congrats to Russell Westbrook for being selected for the cover of NBA LIVE 16. According to EA Sports, Westbrook is a player who can do it all.  Through his demonstrated sportsmanship in the NBA, as point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Westbrook was a prime candidate for the NBA LIVE 16 cover.

“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,” says Anthony Stevenson, EA Sports VP of Marketing.

On Monday, June 15, EA Sports will hold a brief press conference at 1:00pm PT. At that time, fans will be able to tune in live (www.easports.com/nba-live) to hear details about the first gameplay.

NBA LIVE 16 will also go on sale for $59.99.
