The people at 2K Sports made it official via Twitter on Wednesday night, complete with pictures of the cover.

It’s a fitting tribute to George, who has bounced back from a horrific leg injury to be one of the league’s biggest stars and best two-way players. George led the Indiana Pacers to the playoffs, where they pushed the Toronto Raptors to seven games. He was an All-Star and All-NBA third team averaging 23.1 points and 7 rebounds a game.
And Kobe, well he still sells. Can’t blame 2K for going with him one more time.
