Some updates poppin
here.

Damian Lillard was one of the three cover athletes in NBA 2K21. I like it and Dame is deserving to one of it.
Kawhi and Kobe for the legend edition, anyone?


Good to know Dame already got his and for the legend edition I think that'll be for Kobe no doubt for it.
I reviewed Dame's work this season and I don't see anything special.
In most cases, NBA 2k's cover is related to a player the makes sound or buzz during the previous season.
Their reason is:
"From his cultural influence, musical success, off the court leadership, and on court domination, he's the perfect fit for our cover of NBA 2K21 on current-generation platforms; we're honored to have him."
Dame is good on rapping and most of all he I think was one of the players who mostly are into charity. I think we just have to accept and respect whatever they have come up with.
