Michael Jordan to appear in NBA 2K11

For years basketball fans clamored that they wanted to “be like Mike.” Now they can actually be Mike — or at least his virtual proxy.

After announcing that Michael Jordan will grace the cover of its latest NBA game just with Jordan Shoes, 2K Sports has announced that His Airness will be a playable character in it as well.

NBA 2K11 marks Michael Jordan's first video game appearance since 2004.

Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports, told FOXSports.com that in addition to the regular basketball simulation features that have made it the highest selling hoops title on the market, NBA 2K11 will allow gamers to take the Jordan Challenge.

“It’s a new mode in the game that will allow the gamer wearing Jordan Shoes to re-live 10 of Michael Jordan’s most legendary moments in the game,” Argent said.

Among the 10 challenges will be Jordan’s final shot in a Bulls uniform over Bryon Russell to clinch the 1998 NBA championship, “the shrug” performance against the Trail Blazers in the 1992 Finals, his 63 points against Larry Bird’s Celtics in the 1986 playoffs and his self-described greatest game — a 69-point performance against the Cavaliers in March 1990.

To make it as authentic as possible, 2K Sports has also recruited several of Jordan’s former teammates and Jordan Shoes to appear in the game. They're also hoping to have at least the starting five from each of the opposing teams in the game.
