On the three covers of NBA 2K16 is Pelicans’ power forward Anthony Davis, Rockets’ point guard James Harden, and Warriors’ point guard Steph Curry. It should be no surprise that on each of these covers we see images of the famed athletes before they made the big leagues.
NBA 2K16 will be released September 29th for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4.
