Michael Jordan was chosen for the Legend Edition cover, Dennis Schroder graced the Germany Edition cover, and Tony Parker was the face of the France Edition. NBA 2K16 had eight different covers with all different cover athletes, starting with the trio of Stephen Curry, James Harden, and Anthony Davis all receiving a Standard Edition cover that players who purchased the retail version of the game would get one of at random, with the other two included as inserts so the cover art on the case could be changed if desired. NBA 2K12 had broken the multi-cover barrier by putting Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Larry Bird on three different covers for a single version of the game, but NBA 2K16 took things up to a whole other level. While some criticized the M圜AREER design for being too restrictive, the imagery of that year has stood the test of time, and it was the first year with Special Edition covers in the NBA 2K series. NBA 2K16 was dubbed "A Spike Lee Joint" as the legendary director was heavily involved in the development of the game's M圜AREER mode with a more powerful story than previous years. Last, we have the only international edition to make this list, but it's one that can often be overlooked in terms of design, concept, and core photography.

This iconic look at the past and present of the NBA with Dirk Nowitzki, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Kevin Durant is easily one of the greatest covers in series history and rates behind only one in our list. The very first time NBA legend and cultural icon Michael Jordan got to grace the cover of the NBA 2K series was for the release of NBA 2K11. There's stiff competition, as the NBA 2K series has existed since 1999 and featured over 30 different players on either Standard, Special, or International editions between over 30 different cover designs.
With this year's epic legends cover in mind, we're taking a look back at the top ten NBA 2K covers of all time to see if the NBA 2K22 75th Anniversary Edition makes that upper echelon. I’m happy for him, what he's been able to achieve in just a couple years in the league and so, I'm so thrilled that it worked out that way,” Nowitzki said. You have Luka on the real cover, so two Mavs at the same time on the cover, which is super special, of course, so I'm super happy, super thrilled that I could be on the cover and, you know, with Luka, who I try to help out, who I try to mentor a little bit, and so that's super special. Of course, with Kevin Durant and Kareem, some of the best players to have ever played this game. I think it's, that's a huge honor for me.
“I'm of course very honored to be on the legends cover.

We also learned that Luka Doncic was chosen for the Standard Edition this year, which Dirk Nowitzki spoke about in a press conference about the cover: (born December 30, 1984), also nicknamed LBJ and 'King James', is an American professional basketball player for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Lakers.
