Michael Jordan gets honored by NBA 2k

NBA 2k23 is set to launch on 9th September 2022 but you can pre-order the game from 7th July 2022 itself. To give the people set to purchase NBA during the pre-order phase, 2k had to release a tidbit. And they did that by announcing the cover athletes.

Devin Booker earned himself a supermax extension and became the cover athlete of the NBA 2k23 standard edition. However, the legend edition had to go to just one man. The player who made the number ’23’ iconic. Michael Jordan will be the cover of the NBA 2k23: Michael Jordan edition. 

To make this announcement official, NBA 2k released a 1-minute trailer. It showcases clips of gameplay that is redefines the phrase of art imitating life. This 1-minute video already has 1,149,558 views in 18 hours and created hype for the entire NBA 2k23 game. 

Michael has already been the cover athlete for the 2k franchise 4 times for NBA 2k11, 2k12, 2k16, and now 2k23. But watching 2k pick Jordan to represent the number over LeBron James, who also rocked 23 for a majority of his career, was a pretty controversial decision. Regardless, the artwork for the game is amazing and could almost guarantee sales for itself.
