    Looks Like Paul George is the Cover Athlete for NBA 2K17, Olympic Teams in This Year?


    PlayStation.Blog posted an image of the NBA 2K17 cover athlete on their PlayStation Store update page (which has been taken down already). We managed to grab a screenshot, before it was removed.

    While no official news will be revealed until tomorrow, during the Road To The Finals championship game, it looks like a good bet Paul George is the man. There could also be multiple cover athletes, so we will just have to wait and see.

    Announced in April, Kobe Bryant is the cover athlete for the Legend Edition of NBA 2K17, check out those details here.

    Let us know your thoughts!

    As noted in the comments, Paul George is wearing the Team USA jersey in the background, possibly hinting at the Olympics being involved in the game this year.

          Who is on the cover doesn't matter to me at all, but I will say that this is an unexpected choice.

          Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

          Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

              Really? What exactly gave you that idea?

                      I hope they're replacing Euroleague teams with Olympic teams. I hope there's no more "Be The Story" and I can make a Canadian born player to play for Team Canada in MyCareer. That's all if the Olympics is actually going to be in the game though lol.

                                  I'm hoping Olympics made it but I won't get hyped up until its made official and I'm happy for Paul George because he deserves the cover.

                                              Wish they put a coach on the cover as that would give me hope that coach mode is returning
                                              EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                                                  Hell yes! Hopefully that means the Paul George gets the cover boy treatment [emoji2] .

                                                      Yeah, I didn't see it until I blew the cover photo up. I disagree about the Euroleague, though. I hope they keep them. 2K just needs to flesh it out more. Put more effort into the teams and players. Incorporate them into ML, MGM and MC. Same with the classic teams and arenas and stuff. Feature wise I think NBA 2K is deep enough. Stop adding stuff and continue to refine what we have already.

                                                      I liked MyCareer this year too. Though I get why people were turned off by it. It wasn't really your career. More like NBA: The Life. But I think that's cool, too. They just need to have an option to have most of what was previously in MyCareer without all the story stuff. Because honestly, no "story" is gonna please everyone and 2K isn't gonna go all TellTale Walking Dead with the decisions. I'm excited to hear more about 2K17 though.

                                                          I'm so disappointed...... As much as this guy made an impact in the past year, I thought for sure he would've gotten the cover this year.
