NBA 2K fans will remember that Kobe graced the game’s cover back in 2010, and was an alternate cover for NBA 2K17 too for the Legendary Edition.

As a huge NBA fan, and with Kobe being one of my top five favorite players of all-time, I’m deeply saddened by what happened to him his daughter, and the rest of the people that perished in the accident. MP1st’s thoughts and prayers go out to those affected.

If you’re playing any basketball game, go gun for 81 points in one game as Kobe.

We’ll keep an eye out on that Kobe tribute via the community and will give an update on how it turns out.
