![]() He also appeared as the cover athlete on NBA 2K14. James will grace the NBA 2K19 20th Anniversary Edition of the popular video game franchise, marking the second time in his career he will be on the cover of the game. We hope 2K are as ambitious with 2K19's gameplay and features as they are with the game's covers. Accolades are nothing new in LeBron James career and another one of sorts is headed his way. NBA 2K hasn't had proper competition in years, and with EA stepping it up with Live 18, they know that they must shift to sixth gear if they are to remain the "most authentic sports simulator", because let's face it - NBA 2K18 was not exactly the best sports game in the world, especially not with its microtransactions shenanigans. However, it is not a complete wonder that 2K would go the distance as was a hot contender last year and many fans have speculated that EA are well on their way to the basketball throne. Having LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo on two different covers of the same game does not come cheap. Provided that all of this is true and that Giannis is indeed the 2K19's standard edition cover star - it speaks volumes on how far 2K are planning to go with their new game. However, Adrian was a swift one and he managed to grab a screenshot which he then shared with his followers, thus making it all public. ![]() Antetokounmpo will become the first international athlete to grace the cover, having just become the first player in NBA history to finish a regular season ranked in the top 20 in total points. The cover image of the upcoming game reportedly showed up on the NBA 2K18 main menu advertisement page, but it was quickly removed by 2K. 2K today announced that the NBA 2K Standard Edition will feature Milwaukee Bucks standout and two-time NBA All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo on the cover. As part of a live streaming event that took place today, 2K Sports announced that Giannis Antetokounmpo will be the next basketball player to cover NBA 2K. The fans of the King were hoping for him to grace the cover of the standard edition of the game as well because not everyone can fork out the cash that this version of the game requires, but it seems as though that will not be the case.Īccording to a user named Adrian, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo will be the cover athlete of the standard edition of NBA 2K19. Let us know what you think of Bron-Bron’s franchise future over on Facebook and Twitter.As we already know, LeBron James was selected to be on the cover of the 20th anniversary edition of NBA 2K19. Head over to the NBA 2K web portal to find out where to purchase, and peep the info below to see all that comes with the 20th Anniversary edition:Ĭoincidence? Curse? We can’t call it, but maybe you guy can. NBA 2K19 is available now for $59.99 USD as a Standard Edition and $99.99 USD for the coveted 20th Anniversary edition.

As the cover athlete for NBA 2K19, Antetokounmpo was able to show NBA fans outside of Milwaukee just what he was capable of. Last year, it was on All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, who traded to the Boston Celtics shortly after dawning the cover in a Cavaliers uniform. What could make things interesting and put NBA 2K in an intriguing position is if James were to leave the Cavaliers during offseason, as it would be the second straight player to have their jersey changed on the cover. Fast foward twenty years later, James isn’t just the king on the court he’s also the single greatest force in the NBA today. Back when 2K Sports first introduced NBA 2K in November 1999, Allen Iverson was the cover athlete and for good reason - the cultural icon stood as the working man’s face of the NBA at that time. The Standard Edition is expected to be priced at 59.99 or around P3,150. But if you’re getting the NBA 2K19 Special Edition, you get to play 4 days early as they’ll be releasing it on September 7, 2018. For the 2oth anniversary edition, James was the logical choice. For those getting the NBA 2K19 Standard Edition, it is expected to be released on September 11, 2018.
