“It’s a huge honor to be recognized on the first-ever Canadian cover for NBA 2K and represent the Raptors after eight years with the team,” said DeRozan, who totaled a career-high 2,020 points last season, via Business Wire. “The fans up here are super passionate about basketball, so it’s cool to help introduce a cover that’s just for them.”
Known to have international covers for different nations, 2K Sports has branched out to the great north and given them their own cover with one of their heroes, adorned with a Canadian Maple Leaf around the logo for a touch of personalized style.
“Canada has always shown tremendous passion for the NBA 2K franchise, so we couldn’t be happier to celebrate this by partnering with one of the NBA elite in DeMar DeRozan to create a NBA® 2K18 cover that’s uniquely Canadian,” said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Marketing for NBA 2K.
