With the latest 2K Sports game coming out in just over five months, it was only a matter of time before they announced the NBA 2K15 cover athlete. And it seems that 2014 is the year of Kevin Durant: not only has he been chosen to be the cover athlete, but the Oklahoma City Thunder’s star has finally won the NBA’s coveted MVP award, which has gone to Lebron James four out of the last five years.
This is Durant’s first MVP trophy, but he has been a force to be reckoned with in the NBA: besides being 2008’s Rookie of the year and a five time all-star, the man has won the NBA’s scoring title in four of the last five seasons. Quite fittingly, he is taking over the NBA 2K15 cover athlete job from Lebron James. And Durant, who has always been a humble player, has just released a statement about this latest honor.
“I’m honored to be selected for the cover of NBA 2K. I’ve been an avid fan and player of NBA 2K since I was a kid, and being selected as the sole cover athlete of NBA 2K15 is an amazing accomplishment at this point of my life. I feel like my time has come.”
The latest NBA 2K15 will be released on October 7 for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. What do you think of the 2K15 cover athlete? Will you be buying the latest edition from 2K Sports? Is the series still at the top of their game? Let us know in the comment section below. Finally, watch this heart warming moment from Durant’s acceptance speech: this teary eyed display implicates that the NBA 2K15 cover is left in good hands.
