According to the 2K twitter account hes the cover athlete for current gen. So perhaps Zion for next gen and Kobe as a legend edition cover on both gens.

People have to remember they would have needed vanessa's permission to put Kobe on the cover and she's made it clear that the family still struggles to see media of him. So if it doesn't happen hopefully everyone leaves it alone.

Exactly. I also wouldn't feel comfortable with if they tried to make a profit off of his death.

They did add Kobe content into MyTeam. I think it took longer than most were expecting so it made me believe that 2k was able to reach some agreement with the family regarding using Kobe's likeness.

Yeah. You guys are right. It’s not time for a kobe cover yet. I’d
Completely understand if the family said no right now.

Zion for next gen.

VC for the legends cover ???

Dame is deserving though.....good for him.

That's a VERY clean looking cover. I like it. Way better than 2K20's AD cover.

Re: Damian Lillard 2K21 Cover Athlete

Just being speculative here, but in the Current Gen Cover Athlete trailer that 2K released I found it a bit odd that they used the TNT footage from Dame's game winning 3 vs the Thunder. Usually, they would edit out the scorebug or use footage from a different angle to not include that.

Re: Damian Lillard 2K21 Cover Athlete

I like the cover.

Zion for next gen would be cool.

Gotta admit a VC cover in a vintage Raptors jersey would be pretty sweet for the legend.

Way too soon for a Kobe cover. There is a big difference between game content and being on the cover. A few years from now would be better. I can't see his family being ok with him being on the cover this soon.

Something I was wondering about too. Glad I'm not the only one reading into it a little bit.

I really like the look of it. I think Dame's a good choice.
