2K revealed the first of its three Cover Athletes โ five-time NBA All-Star and Portland Trail Blazersโ Damian Lillard has been selected to lead the cover for NBA 2K21 on all current-generation platforms!
Dame D.O.L.L.A. Logo Lillard. Sub Zero. Few players match his versatility on the court, and even fewer dominate the last minutes of the 4th Quarter when the game is on the line: Dame Time! Damian Lillard rains fire on his competition and regularly drops bars in the music studio, matching perfectly with this yearโs theme for NBA 2K21: Everything is Game.
โThis is a special moment for me in my NBA career,โ said Lillard. โIโve been a fan of NBA 2K for years and love how they represent all aspects of basketball culture. Iโve been playing 2K my whole life and Iโm honored to join the other NBA greats who have been on the cover. Iโm grateful to all my fans and canโt wait for everyone to experience this game later this year.โ
As the cover athlete for NBA 2K21 on current-generation platforms, players around the world will see Lillardโs skywalking dunk on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Windows PC and Google Stadia.
โThere are a lot of great players in the NBA today, but Damian Lillard has done a particularly standout job of representing the current generation of NBA superstar,โ stated Alfie Brody, Vice President of Marketing for NBA 2K. โFrom his cultural influence, musical success, off the court leadership, and on court domination, heโs the perfect fit for our cover of NBA 2K21 on current-generation platforms; weโre honored to have him.โ
NBA 2K and Lillard will also partner through 2K Foundations, 2Kโs program to support underserved communities by revitalizing basketball courts and community centers across the nation, to renovate a site in his hometown of Oakland, CA for the local community.
