Lol! He left out "one of" in his post. Dame is another, and also Mamba. Doesn't matter to me because I download all of my games but congrats to Zion and Dame, and shoutout and RIP to Bean.

When Zion Prime goes to the bench, he will be replaced with Zion Replicant 001.

Our Franchise will have a Zion forever.

Zion is the only rookie to ever have a 2k cover; in fact, he's the only player to have a 2k cover within their first two seasons.

Closest after this is Ben Simmons, who was the Australian cover for 2k in his 3rd season (2nd active season, cause of the red shirt year).

Update:

Zatarain’s will finish out this season as the sponsor.
A new jersey-patch deal will start for next season.

So again...@PelicansNBA jersey:

HOTTEST PIECE OF INVENTORY IN THE LEAGUE? https://t.co/qZqzu9TSTW

The quality of this image is disgraceful btw

I'm still blown away by the star power that Zion has. I feel like we went through this when we drafted AD, but Zion's star power blows away anything Anthony Davis ever did, even now. I'm really hoping 7 years of drawing lots of national TV matchups, getting great endorsement deals, and general visibility can prove that you can be a star in New Orleans and don't have to seek out a bigger stage. If you're good enough, you'll transcend your market.

They don't seem to understand that there are 3 different covers this year.

One for the current generation: Dame
One for the Next Generation (to coincide with the release of the Next Gen consoles): Zion
The Legends edition they always do: Gonna be Kobe

I see a few people saying ''well if it's next gen, why not Luka?! or Trae?!''

Well, Luka has a deal with EA so he's not gonna be on the cover of a 2k game, and Trae does not have Zion or Luka's drawing power.

everybody from SC better cop this ‼️ BIG BLESSING ���� @Zionwilliamson https://t.co/dnk24JZYpl

Ja isn't whining like his fans, which is good to see

Zion’s been putting in some work. Looks to be in great shape. He’s hasn’t look that trim since Duke.

He's been in market this entire time with training staff, as part of the rehab crew. He should be in good shape.
