New Orleans– The New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson was named NBA 2K21 cover athlete for next gen consoles. Zion was shown in NBA2K21’s trailer, which has improved graphics processor with very realistic features.
“It’s one of those emotions I’m still processing,” Williamson told The Undefeated’s Marc J. Spears in a video interview. “It’s a dream come true. At those AAU tournaments, you’re looking at the cover thinking, ‘That’s gonna be me.’ For it to happen that fast, it’s a huge honor.”
“My first thoughts on the commercial was this is super dope,” Williamson said. “It’s crazy that it’s me. Then the thoughts after when I let it process was, ‘Man, that was really me.’ They chose me to be the guy to introduce 2K21. It’s just an honor. It’s like a dream come true.”
