Kevin Durant Will Make Solo Cover Debut on 2K Sports' NBA 2K15

2K Sports has announced the impending release of their game NBA 2K15, and the solo cover athlete for the game will be none other than this year's NBA MVP Kevin Durant. Durant was recently announced as the NBA's MVP and was featured alongside stars Blake Griffen and Derek Rose on the cover of NBA 2K13, but the new release will mark the first time the small forward has been featured on the cover by himself. NBA 2K15 is now available for preorder from select retailers on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. Read on for more details on the cover announcement.

"I'm honored to be selected for the cover of NBA 2K," said Durant, who is currently leading the Oklahoma City Thunder against Los Angeles Clippers during this year's NBA Playoffs. "I've been an avid fan and player of NBA 2K since I was a kid, and being selected as the sole cover athlete of NBA 2K15 is an amazing accomplishment at this point of my life. I feel like my time has come."

"We're continually challenging ourselves to align the NBA 2K franchise with the best of this generation, and Kevin Durant brings one of the NBA's greatest into our stable of kings," said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Marketing for 2K. "Our goal is to consistently bring an unmatched experience for the millions of fans that play the NBA 2K series, while paralleling the NBA's evolution and growth year-over-year."

In addition to his accomplishments as four-time NBA scoring champion, and winning the 2014 NBA MVP award, Durant's impressive basketball resume includes four All-NBA team selections, five NBA All-Star selections, and the 2007-2008 NBA Rookie of the Year award, solidifying him as the perfect choice to bring NBA 2K basketball to fans across the globe.
