https://wccftech.com/nba-2k19-first-international-star/ > Giannis Anteokounmpo, thankfully also known as the ‘Greek Freak’, will be donning the cover of NBA 2K19 when the game launches this September. Leaks and speculation about the box art spread across the community in recent weeks, but 2K has now officially announced the decision. > Although Anteokounmpo is a name a lot of journalists and fans may struggle to spell, his record speaks for itself. On top of being the first international star to feature as the center athlete on the cover art, he is also the first star in NBA history to complete a regular season in the top twenty for total points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. This is extremely impressive.
