As Lillard described above, he and Bryant were both selected as covers for this year's edition of the highly-popular game. Lillard was chosen as the main cover, while Bryant is featured as the cover athlete for the legend edition or the “Mamba Forever Edition.” New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson, on the other hand, was picked for the Next Gen cover.

Lillard's tribute track features Derrick Milano and Snoop Dogg, who himself is a long-time Lakers fan. It's great how these prominent artists have collaborated to pay homage to the legend that is Kobe Bryant.

Lillard will have more time to work on his music now that he's officially on vacation, Then again, knowing the All-Star point guard, we're certain that his basketball won't be taking too much of a backseat. Lillard was tremendous for the Blazers from the restart — earning bubble MVP honors — and he will hope to carry this momentum for the 2020-21 campaign.
