It is about that time of the year again where basketball and NBA fans around the world start to think about
the next edition of the NBA 2k franchise. When the season was dwindling down, they released their legend edition cover which featured the cover athlete Kobe Bryant for the last time in the video game, because of his retirement. Now the version that is going to be around stores everywhere beside Kobe Bryant, will be including Pacers Forward and All-Star Paul George.
The announcement came during the NBA 2k16 Road To The Finals competition, and along with the competition, they got to see Paul George be announced as the next 2k cover athlete as well. Take a look at the cover (Via NBA 2k):

With the cover athletes officially announced, which one are you going to get? I’m definitely getting the Kobe Bryant version, because it will probably be Mamba’s last time on the game, unless they do the same thing they did with Michael Jordan. NBA 2k17 is set to drop for Xbox, Playstation and PC in September.
