EA Sports Launches NBA Live 07 Game at NY NBA Store

by: Nickia Williams, and Tasheka Josephs

The highly anticipated EA SPORTS NBA LIVE 07, was released Wednesday, Sept. 27, and to celebrate, Tracy McGrady of the Houston Rockets, Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs and Nate Robinson of the New York Knicks, made themselves available at the NBA store for a meet and greet with the first 150 fans who pre-purchased the game. right "This is the best video game," said an excited Parker during an interview with Vibe.com. "They’re doing a great job every year." McGrady, who is the face of this year's North American edition, said, "It does everything, everything I do on the basketball court, from the head-fakes to the sweat. My T-Mac signature shoe that isn’t even out yet is even in it." (The T-Mac isn’t expected to hit the U.S until October, but has been promoted in Korea, China, Hong Kong and the Philippines.) "It has my sweat, facial expressions and tattoos," said Robinson. "It's unbelieveable how real it is," added Parker. "Being a part of this is a dream come true." And although Parker is busy doing what he does best - balling! - he does make time to romance the lovely Eva Longoria. When asked about the rumors that they are soon to be married, Parker simply stated: "There is no truth to the rumors. We were supposedly getting married about two weeks ago in San Antonio but its kinda hard to get married when I was actually in France." NBA LIVE is an award winning game that has been recognized worldwide as a bonafide interactive basketball experience for over a decade. In October 2006, EA SPORTS will also be a part of and present NBA Europe Live. This will enable four US teams to conduct a training camp resulting in a competition with the top European basketball clubs, in seven European cities in five countries.
