Recently, NBA 2K24 announced its cover athletes for the NBA and WNBA editions. But beyond the excitement surrounding NBA 2K24’s cover athletes and player ratings lies another intriguing aspect. This year’s cover athlete for NBA is a tribute to Kobe Bryant again who has been featured three times already.

In WNBA, the athlete is none other than New York Liberty’s star player Sabrina Ionescu. Not only this, she will be sharing a major chunk of profit revenue, too.
