Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard–who was recently cut from Team USA–is the cover star for upcoming professional basketball simulation game, NBA Live 15, it was announced today. By comparison, NBA 2K15 has Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant on its cover.

“It’s a dream come true,” Lillard says about his appearance on the game’s cover in a video posted to Instagram.

NBA Live 15 launches on October 7, the same day as competitor NBA 2K15. Last year’s game, NBA Live 14, was not all that great, but EA Sports says NBA Live 15 will bring enhancements to gameplay and visuals, among other things.
