NBA 2K21 honored the late Kobe Bryant with its third cover by creating the "Mamba Forever" edition.
Bryant will be featured on two separate covers and the current-generation version will feature custom artwork from his 81-point game in 2006. The cover for the next-generation edition includes a photo of him waving to the crowd following his final NBA game in 2016.
The "Mamba Forever" edition was designed in place of the Legends edition, which featured Bryant on NBA 2K17.
Bryant is NBA 2K21's third cover star after Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard (current-gen) and Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson (next-gen) were named earlier this week.
