“It’s an honor to be named a cover athlete for NBA 2K25,”
said Jayson Tatum. “I’ve been playing NBA 2K since I was a
kid and it’s been a dream to one day be on the cover. Even after
coming off an NBA Championship, it’s humbling to see this come to
life.”
“Being featured on the NBA 2K25 cover is a big moment for
me and a testament to the ever-growing fandom of the WNBA,” said
A’ja Wilson. “Seeing more and more WNBA athletes scanned into NBA
2K25 to best capture the style and confidence of the league has
been empowering, and I can't wait for fans to experience it
in-game.”
“Between the honors NBA 2K and the Naismith Basketball Hall of
Fame have bestowed upon me, this year is an unforgettable one,
making me pause with gratitude at my career,” said Vince Carter.
“Being named a cover athlete would have always been a special
moment for me, but it is a particular honor to be on the cover of
the NBA 2K25 Hall of Fame Edition.”
