KEVIN DURANT NAMED TO COVER OF EA’S NCAA MARCH MADNESS 08

Former University of Texas Star Second Youngest Cover Athlete in EA SPORTS History

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – June 26, 2007 – Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: ERTS) today revealed that former University of Texas basketball star Kevin Durant, the first college freshman to receive the Wooden Award and Naismith Trophy as men’s basketball college player of the year, has been chosen to be on the cover of the EA SPORTS™ videogame NCAA® March Madness® 08. Durant, 18, is the second youngest athlete -- and just the fourth teenager – ever featured on an EA SPORTS game cover.

The Longhorns’ star, who likely will be the first or second pick in the NBA Draft later this week, joins an exclusive list of world-class teenagers to be selected to the cover of an EA SPORTS videogame franchise, taking his place alongside Freddy Adu (FIFA Soccer 06) of the MLS Real Salt Lake, Carmelo Anthony (NCAA March Madness 04) of the NBA Denver Nuggets and Wayne Rooney (FIFA 06 in United Kingdom) of Manchester United.

    I hate when they do that. He played only his freshman season and has already hired an agent so that he can enter into the NBA draft.

    Why put him on the cover of the game when he won't even be in the league this year?

    Sort, that is what they have been doing for a while. Carmelo Anthony, Adam Morrison, and now Durant. They take the best player and that is what they are supposed to do. I would have like to see either Oden or Alando Tucker because they play in the Big Ten and Tucker for my favorite team, Wisconsin. Durant is most talented though so it is alright.
