League MVP for 2013-2014 Season, Scoring Champion for the 4th time. Well now you can add 2-time NBA 2k cover boy to his list of accomplishments. Oklahoma City Thunder superstar forward Kevin Durant was named the cover athlete for NBA 2k15, 2k Sports announced. Durant has been on the cover in 2k13, but he shared the spotlight with Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers and Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls. This is his first appearance on his own.
Here is a statement from Durant as to how important this is for him:
[signoff icon=”quote-circled”]”I begged them to put me on the cover because I really think nobody plays the game as much as I do. I really wanted to be a part of it, and I know I had to perform on the court to be in the running for it.”[/signoff]
Durant is an avid fan of the series, and he favors the MyPlayer modeรย of it:
[signoff icon=”quote-circled”]”I enjoy taking your guy through the season, getting drafted, sitting the bench, becoming a starter and then just trying to get better. I feel that’s how it is [in reality]. It’s about a journey and that’s what I’m on, which is a journey.”[/signoff]
Things are looking good for the Slim Reaper in terms of individual accomplishments. Let’s see if these series of great events helps his confidence propel him and his Oklahoma City Thunder through the playoffs and towards the 2014 NBA Championship.
