College hoops inspiration Lauren Hill gets 'NBA Live15' cover treatment

Published Nov. 7, 2014 3:42 p.m. ET

Wheaties put her on their cereal box, LeBron James counts himself a fan and now EA Sports has gotten behind college hoops player Lauren Hill, giving the Mount St. Joseph freshman the "NBA Live15" cover treatment. 

Hill's courageous battle to play college basketball despite an inoperable brain tumor touched and inspired a nation. The NCAA gave Division III Mount St. Joseph in Ohio special dispensation to move up the date of the school's season opener to accommodate Hill's terminal cancer diagnosis, and the country cheered as she made two layups in front of a sold-out crowd of 10,000 and fulfilled her basketball dream

Now a special edition of "NBA Live15" has been made with Hill gracing the video game cover, as tweeted by EA Sports:

"Let's not call it my last game," Hill had said after her NCAA debut. "This is my first collegiate game."
