WNBA star Candance Parker and Luka Donic were also named cover athletes for the latest edition of the NBA2K game.
Durant is no stranger to being a cover athlete for the NBA2K franchise. The Nets superstar was the cover athlete for NBA 2K13 — along with Derrick Rose and current teammate Blake Griffin — and was on the cover of NBA2K15. The 32-year-old took to Twitter to express the honor of being one of the three legends on the Anniversary Edition cover.
