Who Is On The Cover Of Nba 2K19?
2K19 cover athlete is Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks!
Introduction
The release of NBA 2K19 is just around the corner, and we still don’t know who is going to be on the cover.
We do know that LeBron James was on the cover of NBA 2K14, Kevin Durant was on the cover of NBA 2K15, Paul George was on the cover of NBA 2K16, Kyrie Irving was on the cover of NBA 2K17 and DeMar DeRozan was on the cover of NBA 2K18. So, there’s a good chance that a superstar will once again be gracing the cover of this year’s game.
There are a few players who seem like they could be in contention for the honor this year. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Russell Westbrook and Joel Embiid are all having superstar seasons and seem like logical choices for the cover. Damian Lillard and Kemba Walker are also having great seasons and could be in contention.
We’ll have to wait a little bit longer to find out who is actually going to be on the cover though. Stay tuned!
Lebron James
On Monday morning, LeBron James was announced as the cover athlete for NBA 2K19, making him the first player in the history of the franchise to be featured on the cover three times. NBA 2K19 is set to release on September 11 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
“It’s an honor to be on the cover of NBA 2K19,” said James in a press release from publisher 2K Games. “I’ve been blessed to appear on the cover of this game twice before as part of special editions celebrating my success, but to be honest, having my own standard edition cover is something that I never imagined possible. I’m especially excited to share it with all the kids who play NBA 2K and look up to me for guidance and inspiration as they build their careers in basketball and gaming.”
Ben Simmons
On August 8th, 2018, it was announced that Ben Simmons will be the cover athlete for NBA 2K19. This is a huge honor for the young player, who only just completed his rookie season last year.
The Australian-born Simmons was the number one overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft, and he proved to be worth the hype in his first year with the Philadelphia 76ers. He averaged 15.8 points, 8.2 assists, and 8.1 rebounds per game, and was named the NBA Rookie of the Year.
Simmons is an incredible all-around player, and his addition to the 2K19 cover ensures that this year’s game will bemust-have for any basketball fan.
Donovan Mitchell
Donovan Mitchell is an American professional basketball player for the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Louisville Cardinals. Mitchell was selected by the Jazz with the 13th overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft
De’Aaron Fox
The cover athlete of NBA 2K19 is De’Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings. This is his first time being on the cover of the popular basketball video game.
Conclusion
Now that you know who is on the cover of NBA 2K19, it’s time to start prepping for the release! The game is set to drop on September 11th, so mark your calendars and get ready for some intense virtual basketball action. With so many new features and improvements, NBA 2K19 is shaping up to be one of the best basketball gaming experiences yet.
