NBA 2K17 Cover: Toss Up Between Kobe Bryant & Stephen Curry

Curry is the most logical choice. However, scores of Bryant fans on social media are petitioning for the Los Angeles Lakers icon to be honored as the cover athlete for the next installment of the popular video game series.

There is always the possibility that 2K Sports launches an alternative Kobe Bryant-themed edition, similar to the higher priced “Michael Jordan Special Edition,” which included a Jordan NBA 2K16 poster, a Jordan fathead wall cling, digital Jordan shoes, jersey and t-shirt for MyPlayer, besides 30,000 addition VC and MyTeam VIP benefits.

Don’t be surprised if 2K launches a similar special edition for Bryant, since that would be a win-win situation. It would be difficult to ignore Curry as the cover athlete. After all, he is due to win his second back-to-back MVP award and most likely finish the season with a second championship.
