There should be little discussion about the cover athlete for the NBA 2K23 video game, not when it’s the GOAT: Michael Jordan.
For the NBA 2K22 game, Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic was on one cover, and there was a special NBA 75th anniversary cover featuring Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Durant.
The trailer for this year’s game features classic Jordan moments from the 80s and 90s rendered as action in the video game. It also includes some classic Jordan sneakers and Chicago Bulls uniforms. During that time, Jordan won Rookie of the Year, six NBA titles, five league MVP awards, an Olympic gold medal (1992) and played in 14 All-Star Games.
The game debuted in 1999; Allen Iverson, then with the Philadelphia 76ers, was on the first five covers. Jordan, who last retired from the NBA in 2003, has been featured on the NBA 2K cover several other times: 2K11, 2K12 (starring Magic Johnson and Larry Bird), and a 2K16 special edition.
