On January 26th of this year we saw Kobe Bryant, one of the game’s greatest be taken right from us in a tragic helicopter crash. As we still mourn the death of Bryant and his daughter Gianna, we get some pleasant news that he will be a cover athlete on this year’s NBA 2K game according to multiple sources.

It was a terrible course of events that lead to his death, but the least we can do is mourn, and remember the legendary legacy he left behind. Bryant was not only a great basketball player, but a great husband and father.

Kobe Bryant is one of the most talented players we’ve ever seen play the game and someone many consider the greatest scorer of all-time. He racked up some impressive awards and accomplishments during his playing career. A 5 time champ, 2 time Finals MVP, a 1 time league MVP, 18 time all-star and recently inducted member of the Naismith basketball hall of fame.
