The NBA 2K24 cover star is Kobe Bryant

2K games announced the NBA 2K24 cover star, and the basketball game’s latest cover athlete is the multi-award winning superstar Kobe Bryant

2K games announced the NBA 2K24 cover star, and it’s the multi-award winning superstar Kobe Bryant. Bryant will feature in the sports game’s Kobey Bryant Edition and the special Black Mamba Edition, and you can take a glance at the cover art style at the top of this post.

NBA 2K24 launches later in 2023 for all platforms, including PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Bryant had an illustrious career spanning nearly 25 years, from 1996 until his death in a helicopter accident in 2020. His father Joe Bryant played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Houston Rockets, and San Diego Clippers, and once his career as a basketball star ended, Joe Bryant spent some time as a coach as well.

Kobe Bryant played the sport for fun while attending school in Italy and back in the United States, skipped college, and got picked up by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA draft. The Hornets traded him to the Lakers shortly after, and when the ‘96-’97 season opened, Bryant was the second youngest NBA player ever.

He spent the rest of his career with the Lakers and became an 18-time All-Star, five-time NBA World Champion, two-time Finals MVP, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer.

Let’s take a look at who was reassessed to what rankings as of the fourth week of the month of November in the 2022-23 season.
