Kobe Bryant to Appear on Cover of 2 Editions of NBA 2K24

Hall of Famer and Los Angles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant will serve as the cover athlete for two editions of NBA 2K24 as announced earlier this week.

Bryant will grace the cover of “NBA 2K24: Kobe Bryant Edition” and “NBA 2K24: Black Mamba Edition”.

Bryant has been a cover athlete for the game in the past, doing so for NBA 2K10, NBA 2K17 (Legend Edition) and NBA 2K21 (Mamba Forever Edition). Throughout the years, various NBA stars and legends have graced the cover and, since 2022, WNBA stars have been on various editions as well.

“As we celebrate 25 years of NBA 2K with Kobe Bryant, we commemorate his legacy and the generational impact he has had on the game of basketball,” Greg Thomas, president at Visual Concepts, the game’s developer, said in a statement via ESPN.

“While we mark the history of the franchise, NBA 2K24 also looks ahead to the future to bring an innovative leap in technology and the introduction of community-requested features like crossplay.”
