In addition to coming back to the cover, the Jordan Challenge game mode that was seen in NBA 2K11 will also be returning this year. As such, to place them both on the cover for NBA 2K23 is a bit of a no-brainer. Once again with NBA 2K23, 2K has decided to release another cover in this style, although this time around, it's doubling up on the players that don the box art.

It was followed by NBA 2K12, which offered a more expansive mode called NBA’s Greatest, which starred several classic teams and Hall of Fame players who have appeared in the game’s roster file ever since. These included signature moments like the “Flu Game” in the 1997 NBA Finals, and his 69-point performance against Cleveland ( combining with teammate Stacey King for 70, of course) in 1990. A news release on Tuesday said the revived mode will include “unique video vignettes that come with special commentary from an array of NBA luminaries.”

Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi will appear on the cover of the NBA 2K23 WNBA edition video game that will be released on Sept. 9.

"Girls are dropping out of sports at an alarming rate, and I think part of it is they're not always able to dream of what could be a career that could be really easy for little boys," Bird said. "Whether it's girls or boys, whether it's women, men, it doesn't really matter, and that's the beauty of it," Bird said. The donation will cover the registration fees of over 550 girls from income-restricted families.

Why it matters: A combination of safe-haven buying and interest rates has sent the undisputed heavyweight champion of global reserve currencies to its highest levels in at least two years against major counterparts. It has left a few winners — but lots of losers — in its wake. And there was nothing like the cover of the game. It just said so much about where that sport was and the legacy it was leaving. Bonus content can be delivered in the MyCareer and MyTeam modes. And to think that Sue and I are on the cover of 2K, it's pretty amazing because it's just built into basketball culture."

NBA 2K23 joke shades Russell Westbrook for dismal season with ... (FanSided)

NBA 2K23 joke reminds Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook that his stock has fallen considerably after the 2021-22 season.

His 3-point field goal percentage in 2021-22 was slightly worse than his career average, as Westbrook made 29.8 percent of his three-point attempts compared to a career 30. His effective field goal percentage was higher than his career average, although his free throw percentage was considerably worse than his career average. All that sounds quite positive, but statistics evaluating player efficiency and win shares indicate that Westbrook may deserve a 72 ranking after all. It wasn’t that long ago when Westbrook shot more 3-pointers than Kevin Durant has in a single season of his career, which demonstrates what he’s capable of, not that he’s a superior shooter to Durant. Others said that this is exactly the kind of ranking Westbrook deserves when the September game arrives. Of course there are many factors when one evaluates a player’s performance, but in some regards, Westbrook didn’t have a season that deviated that far from his career average.
