NBA 2K19 (Visual Concepts/2K Sports – All Platforms – Special Ed. September 7, Reg Ed. September 11) – While it’s unknown and all the more unlikely that 2K Games/Sports will have anything playable at E3, the NBA 2K 20th Anniversary trailer has been unleashed. And who on the cover but “The King” himself, LeBron James…

Say what you will about Bron, compare him to Michael all you want– but there’s no denying this man is a legend; and, if not the G.O.A.T., then certainly the B.I.T.W. It’s nutty to think the Cavalier hasn’t been on a 2K cover in 5-years since he was lacin’ his Nike-equipped talents down in South Beach.

Of course, we don’t know a whole lot else at this point about NBA 2K19‘s actual newest features, additions and gameplay (I mean, damn.. I still have to go back and gut through both MyMoody and MyFranchise modes and hit them playoffs). But what we do know today is the following:

  • The NBA 2K19 20th Anniversary Edition extras are: virtual currency (VC), a special LeBron James MyTEAM card and Bron-bonuses like 25 pairs of Nikes and MyCOURT customizations.

  • And Cavs fans are gonna dig (unless you think he’s heading to La-La-Land once y’all get swept up!) the 20th Anniversary Edition‘s physicals: a LeBron NBA 2K19 poster, sticker sheet, and a custom wristband with LeBron’s “chosen” slogans — “Strive for Greatness,” “Driven,” and “Equality.” Etc. etc.

I’ll have more to come on 2K19 in the coming weeks. Remember: The Prelude starts August 31st.
