We're shown a short promo video about his journey from middle school in Athens to his rookie season in NBA, and then on to his first match as an All-Star. When I was included for the first time in NBA 2K, I had 60 ranking, which has been motivating me to get better and better all the time, the past five years." I'm really not perfect as a player and for that reason there is certainly room for improvement, all the time. "100! No, but last year's game I had a 94-ranking and if I'm now climbing to a 95 I would be super pleased. "Given that I'm sitting on the cover now, I expect my ranking to be maxed out," Giannis jokes. In fact, his in-game 2K rating has been one of the major driving forces in the development of his ability on the real court, which is a very cool thing. Something that Giannis Antetokounmpo has done for many years. The studio is careful to point out that they only want to work with players who actually love their games and actively play NBA 2K in their spare time. However, it is apparently about more than just pure recognition of star power when Visual Concepts and 2K Sports select their cover athletes.

Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Kyrie Irving and Lebron James have all lent their faces to the 2K series and this year we were convinced 2K Sports would try to get James Harden, Steph Curry, or maybe Ben Simmons.
At the same time, he is not a huge superstar in the same way as the players who have graced the cover of the last ten editions of this acclaimed game series. "The Greek Freak" is a monster on the court, a powerful and super athletic all-star that has played some superb basketball the last two seasons.
Not because of his level of play, on the contrary.
We were surprised to learn (from the leak last week) that Antetokounmpo was the cover athlete for this year's version of NBA 2K. A couple of minutes later the gigantic Bucks star often called "The Greek Freak" climbs onto stage towering down on us from 2 metres and 11 centimetres (6' 11''). The sport of basketball has become more and more "international" in recent years, which was the reason why, at the beginning of the year, they began to look for a European player to adorn the cover. Referred as "The Greek Freak" on account of his 6' 11'' slash 211 lbs frame and his aggressive playstyle.Ī minute later, we're listening to Visual Concept's community manager Ronny2K explaining how they wound up going with Antetokounmpo for NBA 2K19.
