NBA 2K24’s decision to have Kobe Bryant as a cover athlete is the perfect tribute

When it comes to rumors and leaks, there’s always a chance for them to be false. However, the news about Kobe Bryant being selected for the Legendary Edition is unsurprising, given the events over the last two years. The legendary basketball icon passed away in a tragic accident, which shocked the entire sports community.

Many fans had wanted 2K Sports to bring him back as a cover icon, and it seems that the developers have indeed listened to their wishes. While Michael Jordan graced the cover for NBA 2K23, he will now pass on the baton based on today’s leaks.

It’s worth noting that the cover reveal of the regular edition is yet to take place, and there haven’t been any leaks. Some of the rumored favorites include Nikola Jokic, the Finals MVP in the recently finished season.
