Move over, Damian Lillard.
EA Sports showed off a new NBA Live 15 cover this weekend, and it didn't feature the Portland Trail Blazers' star point guard.

Mount St. Joseph University freshman Lauren Hill was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, an inoperable form of brain cancer. Doctors told her in September she only had months to live.
Since then, Hill has fulfilled her dream of playing college basketball, got a personalized NBA Live cover, and also got her own Wheaties box.
A true breakfast of a champion.
