Sports Illustrated, which first broke the news, spoke with Williamson via Zoom to talk about the honor. Williamson told SI, “Realizing that I am going to be on the cover of NBA 2K21 was one of those moments that I am still processing. I dreamed about being on the cover… 2K has always been there with me. Looking at each cover and thinking maybe one day I could possibly be on the cover of one of these and for it to actually happen is a lot to process.”

The final cover, which will be for the Legends edition, will be released to the public tomorrow. Pre-orders for NBA 2K21 will commence on July 2 as well.
