Miami Heat superstar LeBron James is having quite the offseason after winning another MVP award and taking his second championship and now he will add another title to his resume, as he will be the music curator for the video game NBA 2K14 from 2K Sports.
According to ESPN.com, the news was announced last week and the company said that James selected a number of songs for the game soundtrack and he will also grace the cover of the game. James picked 20 songs for the game and said that he was excited to be on the cover and to have direct input into the game.
James will be the first player to be solo on the game in two years after Michael Jordan was picked for the cover and the game will be released in October. James picked the songs for the soundtrack and is the first cover athlete to do so and it comes after last year when Jay Z was the executive producer of the game that sold over four million copies.
Some of the soundtrack includes: Drake's "Started From The Bottom," Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight," Daft Punk's "Get Lucky," featuring Pharrell Williams and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Can't Hold Us," with Ray Dalton. Other music acts featured are Jay-Z, Coldplay, Robin Thicke, The Black Keys, Eminem, Fly Union, Gorillaz, Imagine Dragons, Jada Kiss, John Legend, Kanye West, Rick Ross, Kendrick Lamar, Nas and Puff Daddy.
"2K is letting me take control of some important elements in NBA 2K14, including this year's soundtrack," James said. "I love that I'm the first NBA 2K cover athlete to choose the soundtrack."
