What we expected a couple of days ago became known this Thursday, after Devin Booker was made official as the cover of NBA 2K23.
Previously, on Tuesday, the video game revealed that the two special editions of 2023 will have Michael Jordan on the cover, and that in the coming days it would announce the rest of the names chosen.
This is precisely where Booker comes in, who in addition to accompanying Jordanwill have Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird as friends, as representatives of the WNBA.
Booker took advantage of the moment to launch a short but jovial message through his Twitter account, a social network in which he is quite active.
I heard this the hardest cover they done did..?
