LeBron James was named the cover athlete for the 20th Anniversary Edition of 2K19 back in June. It’s a good thing that 2k didn’t have James in a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey.
Now that the 2K19 cover athlete has been revealed, it’s begs me to question how long Giannis will stay in Milwaukee. It sounds crazy to think about that, but players tend to leave their team after being on the cover of 2K.
James continued the curse by leaving Cleveland and taking his talents to Los Angeles. Maybe Giannis might end the cover curse, but who knows.
