NBA 2K21 Cover: 5 Players Who Deserve to be on the Cover
5. Luka Doncic
The Dallas Mavericks' young star is one of the most popular players in the league. Doncic was an All-Star starter this season for LeBron James' team and is enjoying a standout sophomore season that could result in a top-5 MVP finish. He'd be an excellent choice for the cover.
4. LeBron James
Who better to feature on the cover once again than the best player in the world? LeBron James was most recently on the cover of the 2K19 Anniversary Edition. If the Lakers win the NBA Finals this year, LeBron will be a favorite to be the cover star.
3. Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard was the most talked about free agent last summer. After he decided to sign with the Clippers, fans immediately pegged them as a championship favorite. If he helps lead Los Angeles to a title, after helping Toronto do so last year, he should be on the cover in some aspect without a doubt.
2. Zion Williamson
The most talked about rookie. Tank for Zion. Future NBA 2K cover star? The New Orleans Pelicans are surging for a playoff spot, and that is in large part because of their rookie mega star. And, what are mega stars usually? NBA 2K cover stars.
1. Kobe Bryant
The world was heartbroken to find out about Kobe and Gianna Bryant's untimely passing on Jan. 26. It's one of the biggest tragedies in sports history. Kobe should be featured in some aspect of NBA 2K21, whether as a special edition cover or as the sole star.
