“It was only fitting for Michael Jordan and Devin Booker to be the NBA 2K23 global cover stars,” says NBA 2K Vice President of Global Marketing Strategy Alfie Brody. “Michael established himself as one of the greatest athletes in history, and his generational impact on the game is remarkable. MJ’s accomplishments, along with Devin Booker’s young, yet already outstanding career, will continue to inspire basketball fans around the world for years to come. It also goes without saying that this year’s WNBA cover celebrates two of the most outstanding players in the league, Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird, who continue to make their mark on basketball history.”
