Kyrie Irving the Cover Athlete for NBA 2K18
2K has announced that Cleveland Cavaliers point guard, Kyrie Irving, will be the cover athlete of NBA 2K18, which will be available on September 19, 2017. The selection of Irving marks his first appearance on the cover of NBA 2K and comes at a pinnacle point in his career after consecutive dominant years with the Cavaliers and a repeat appearance at the NBA Finals this season, which has appropriately earned him the nickname, “Ankletaker.”
“It is well known that I’m an avid player of this series and I am honored to be the cover athlete of NBA 2K18,” said Kyrie Irving, who has his sights set on another ring and is making a run for back-to-back championships. “It’s surreal to be featured on the cover and I can’t wait to dominate on the virtual court with all of my fans this fall.”
Kyrie’s basketball resume includes a Rookie of the Year award in 2012, NBA All-Star Game MVP in 2014, and the 2016 NBA championship that marked one of the most incredible upsets in NBA Finals history with a team-high 27.1 points per game, making him the unquestioned choice in bringing NBA 2K18 to fans around the world.
Fans who pre-order NBA 2K18 at participating North American retail and online vendors receive Early Tip-Off Access, ensuring they receive their copy and in-game bonuses four days early beginning on September 15, 2017.
The NBA 2K18 Standard Edition includes in-game content, including:
- 5,000 Virtual Currency;
- 10 Weekly MyTEAM Packs;
- Kyrie Outfit Pack;
- And more!
For now hoops fans will have to watch the NBA Championships and wait until this fall for the game to release.
