Michael Jordan Basketball Player

LeBron James. Dwight Howard. Kobe Bryant. What do they all have in common? They won't be appearing as the cover athlete on 2KSports NBA 2k11 basketball game. That honor apparently belongs to Michael Jordan. Yes, that Michael Jordan. Lets make some history, shall we?
...multiple sources have told ESPN that the company has gone in a completely different direction, signing basketball legend Michael Jordan as its new spokesman. This will be the first time that a former player will appear on the front of the box for 2K, and with Jordan taking over majority ownership of the Charlotte Bobcats, it will also be the first time that a team owner will endorse the popular franchise. In addition to acting as cover model for "NBA 2K11," the speculation is that Jordan will also be digitized into a playable character. This means gamers will become the virtual MJ in hopes of reliving some of his trademark moments. (via ESPN)

Apparently, the brand that is Michael Jordan is still strong enough to push video game sales, at least according to 2K Sports. So strong in fact, that not only did 2K Sports choose Jordan over the superstars of today, they also decided to add some other players from the Jordan era,

There's more. I've even heard whispers that 2K has been in negotiations with several players (both teammates and opponents) from the Jordan era to appear in "2K11" to help gamers and history buffs accurately recreate the heated competition between the classic Bulls and rivals like the Celtics, Knicks and Cavaliers. But since 2K needs to ink all former players to individual contracts, it's still up in the air whom the company will be able to sign in time to appear in the game.

If I remember correctly, before it was all said and done, Michael Jordan wasn't even appearing in the annual basketball games, because developers weren't willing to shell out the cash for the license to use his image and likeness (ala Barry Bonds in baseball games). Now, all of these years later, not only do we get MJ in a video game...but on a cover? Will wonders never cease...

Katarina Srebotnik Bio & Pics

The Slovenian - one of the world's top doubles players - has happy memories of Wimbledon for she won the junior title here back in 1998. Has yet to make a big impact at senior level though with the last 32 being her best effort. Recent form gives hope that reaching the second week is possible though. Made the fourth round at the French Open where title favourite Serena Williams was sent packing. A lower seed who could shine.

KATARINA SREBOTNIK | Slovenia

Katarina Srebotnik was born March 12, 1981 in Slovenj Gradec, Slovenia. Srebotnik is a Slovenian professional tennis player, coached by Biljana Veselinovic. Srebotnik is right-handed, 1.80 m, weighs 65 kg and lives in Dubai. She reached a career-high ranking of No. 20 on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour on August 7, 2006. Her nickname amongst fans is Kata. Although she has a career-high of No. 20 in singles, she has had better results in the doubles circuit. With 18 victories in WTA doubles tournaments (as of July 2008) and a career-high doubles ranking of No. 3, she is considered as one of the best doubles players on the WTA Tour.

In juniors, Srebotnik won the 1998 Wimbledon singles title and was singles runner-up at the US Open. Srebotnik attained the second spot on the junior rankings in 1997 and 1998. Katarina Srebotnik made her ITF Debut in 1995. She won the ITF singles tournament in Ismailia (1996), Zadar (1997); Sibenik (1998) and in Dubai (1999). In 1998, Srebotnik won her first Tour doubles title at the Makarska Open (with Tina Krizan), and became later that year doubles runner-up at Maria Lankowitz (also with Krizan). In 1999, her win at the ITF tournament in Dubai, gave her 'feed up' direct entry into her first-ever singles Tour event at Estoril, where she became the fourth player ever to win her Tour debut event by defeating Kuti Kis in the final. She broke into the Top 100 on April 12, 1999 at No.88. Srebotnik reached the semifinal at Palermo, and played in her first Grand Slam main draw at Roland Garros, losing in the second round; but winning the mixed doubles tournament with Norval.


Katarina Srebotnik's best season to date was in 2005, highlighted by two singles and four doubles titles, and her career-best victory over Amelie Mauresmo. Srebotnik captured her third and fourth career Tour singles titles at Auckland (defeating Shinobu Asagoe in the final, while she also teamed with Asagoe for the doubles title) and in Stockholm (defeating world No.14 Anastasia Myskina in the final, and teaming with Emilie Loit for doubles title). Srebotnik was the only player in 2005 to sweep singles and doubles titles twice. She also finished runner-up at Portoroz, losing to Koukalova (now Zakopalova ) in three sets in the final. She also became runner-up in doubles with Kostanic.

Srebotnik reached the quarterfinal five times, at Tier II Antwerp (lost to Anastasia Myskina), Tier I Charleston (losing to Elena Dementieva in three sets), Budapest (losing to Laura Pous Tio in a third set tie-break), Tier I Zurich (upset No.4 Amelie Mauresmo 6–2 6–0 for her career-best victory en route; losing to Ana Ivanovic) and Hasselt (losing to Safina in a third set tie-break). Her best Grand Slam finish was the third round at Wimbledon (losing to Maria Sharapova 6–2, 6–4, but she was the only player to break the defending champion's serve before Sharapova's semifinal loss to Venus Williams).

A new career-high singles ranking of No.28 came on November 7. In addition to Auckland and Stockholm, Srebotnik also won doubles titles at Budapest and Hasselt (both with Émilie Loit). She reached the US Open mixed doubles final (with Zimonjic; losing to Daniela Hantuchova/Mahesh Bhupathi). Srebotnik withdrew from Canberra with a left adductor strain.

Andre Agassi Shining Teeths

Andre Kirk Agassi was born on April 29, 1970. He is a former number one male singles tennis player. He has won eight Grand Slam singles titles, and has an Olympic gold medal in singles. He is typically considered by most to be one of the greatest tennis players ever. He is also said to be the best service returner in tennis. He has had a style all his own, and he has been a very charismatic player. He helped to revive the popularity of tennis in the 1990s. He was once married to actress Brooke Shields, but is now married to tennis champion Steffi Graf.

Andre Agassi is only one of six men to have earned a Career Grand Slam. He has also been a part of a winning Davis Cup Team as well as winning 17 Master's Series tournaments, which makes him the current record holder. He has won four Australian Opens, one French Open, one Wimbledon, and two U.S. Open Grand Slams. He has been rated as the seventh best male player for the period of 1965 until 2005 by Tennis Magazine. Agassi finally retired from professional tennis on September 3, 2006 following sciatica due to two bulging discs in his back, a spondylolisthesis, and a bone spur that has interfered with a nerve. Andre Agassi is also known for his charity work, as he is the founder of the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, which has raised more than sixty million dollars for children at risk in Southern Nevada. The foundation has also opened the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy located in Las Vegas. This school is for at-risk children and is a K-12 charter school.

Andre Agassi was born in Las Vegas, Nevada to Emmanuel Mike Aghassian and Elizabeth Betty Agassi. Agassi's father is of Assyrian and Armenian descent, and once represented the country of Iran in boxing during two Olympic games. He later immigrated to the United States. Andre's mother, Betty, is a survivor of breast cancer. Agassi's father was a domineering dad and coach. Agassi has remarked that his father was not particularly interested in his son's education, and in fact believed that it was interfering with his tennis training. At the age of thirteen, Andre was sent to the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida. He was supposed to only stay for eight weeks, but Bollettieri called his father and said that he could play there for free due to Agassi's impressive talent. At the age of sixteen, Agassi became a professional. By the conclusion of his first year, Agassi already ranked World #91. During his career, Agassi earned over 30 million dollars in prize money. He also earned more than 25 million a year on endorsements alone.

On April 19, 1997, Andre Agassi married Brooke Shields, an actress. The couple later filed for divorce, and on April 9, 1999, they were officially divorced. Andre met Steffi Graf, an extraordinary female tennis player. They began dating and were married on October 22, 2001. Their son, Jaden Gil, was born four days after their wedding on October 26 of 2001. They also have a daughter named Jaz Elle, who was born on October 3, 2003. They currently live in the area of Las Vegas and have a few vacation homes. Andre Agassi has written his autobiography that was published in November of 2009. In his biography, "Open: An Autobiography," he admits to using methamphetamine in 1997 and testing positive for it. He has also admitted that his long hair that he was well known for was actually a wig or extensions. He claims that his loss of the 1990 French Open final was because he was concerned his hair piece was falling off, so he was trying to be careful with his movements.

Off of the tennis court, Andre Agassi is well known for his charity. In 1994, Andre began the Andre Agassi Charitable Association, which helps young people in Las Vegas, particularly those at high risk. Because of his charity work, he was given the ATP Arthur Ashe Humanitarian award in 1995 because of his efforts. Agassi's Boys and Girls Club works with 2,000 children throughout the year and has a great junior tennis team. It also has a basketball program as well as a mix of academics and athletics. In 2001, Agassi opened the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, which is a tuition free school that is for children who are at high risk living in the Las Vegas area. Amazingly enough, his school had a 2009 graduating class that had a 100% graduation rate and 100% college acceptance rate. He also works with Child Haven, a residential facility that helps children who have been neglected or abused. He donated enough money for a six-room classroom that is now called the Agassi Center for Education. Andre's foundation also gave $720,000 to help with the building of the Andre Agassi Cottage for Medically Fragile Children, which helps handicapped or developmentally delayed children as well as children who have been quarantined for infectious diseases.
