It’ll be tough for any sports video game to generate excitement right now with the highly anticipated release of College Football 25 coming this month, but NBA 2K is going to try.
The popular basketball franchise revealed the cover athletes for its upcoming NBA 2K25 game, and they include a couple of champions in Jayson Tatum and A’ja Wilson, and Mr. Half Man, Half Amazing himself, Vince Carter.
Tatum is on the cover of the standard edition of NBA 2K25, while two-time MVP Wilson is on the WNBA edition cover. The two are featured side-by-side on the All-Star edition.
The legend Carter is on the Hall of Fame edition cover in a picture from his early days with the Toronto Raptors when he won the 2000 dunk contest, and it’s beautiful.

I feel confident saying that Carter cover is already one of the best 2K covers ever. It could also be a potential tease to something related to the dunk contest, which would be awesome.
