"Let me do me, Michael is Michael, let me be me": Kobe Bryant refuses to take a stance on GOAT debate

Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant have been on the covers of NBA 2k and yet for the next two years, only they should be on it!

Gracing the cover of a game is a feat by itself. Very few athletes have made it and those that do are elite. There are a few exceptions, of course.

Legends of the game such as Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan have graced the covers of NBA’s most popular game NBA 2k more than once.

MJ appeared on the cover of NBA 2k11 and before that, he also appeared on the cover of NBA live 2002. Kobe meanwhile appeared on the cover for NBA 2k21. The year of his passing he was announced as the third and final cover athlete.

2k23 and 2k24 next, which means Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant should be on the covers!

The upcoming 2k editions are 2k23 and 2k24, which are in line with the shirt numbers of MJ and Kobe. While both have received covers in the past, it is safe to say they will get it this year too.

While a certain LeBron James might also be in contention, 2k creators are smart enough to make multiple editions.
