Damian Lillard was selected as the cover athlete for NBA Live 15, becoming the first Portland Trail Blazers player to grace an NBA Live cover.

The Trail Blazers point guard made the announcement via Instagram:

So thankful for being named the @EASportsInsider #NBALIVE15 cover athlete. I've been playing the game since the 16-bit days, so you know this is a dream come true! Hard work has led to so many great things for me and I'm not even close to satisfied. #CoverAthlete #1stBlazerOnTheCover #ItsInTheGame #RipCity #LillardTime

Scheduled for release on October 7, NBA Live 15 will be the second game in the series following a three-year hiatus after NBA Elite 11 was cancelled. NBA Live 14 received generally poor reviews upon its release last year and compared unfavorably to rival franchise NBA 2K14.
