Here's something else for the couple to hang in their den next to Eva Longoria Parker's In Style, Glamour and Self covers.

After five stints as the face of pixilated basketball in France, the actress' two-time NBA All-Star hubby Tony Parker has been chosen to grace the cover of the global edition of Electronic Arts' NBA Live 09.

Meaning, Parker's 26-year-old mug and San Antonio Spurs uniform will be frontin' in North America for the first time, starting Oct. 7, and then everywhere else where video games are sold Oct. 14.

"I have a long history with EA Sports," the Belgian-born, French-bred Parker said. "I've been on the cover in France for five years straight, and I've been playing NBA Live for as long as I've played basketball. It's a real honor for me as a European player to now be represented on the worldwide cover."
