This marks the fourth time Michael Jordan has appeared on a cover for an NBA game. He previously appeared on the covers of NBA 2K11, 2K12, and the Special Edition of NBA 2K16. Michael Jordan being on the cover of this game makes complete sense, after all before he retired, he wore his iconic No.23 jersey. So of course it’s no surprise that 2K23 would choose to honor his legacy by putting him on the cover of NBA 2K23.
NBA 2K23 will also introduce the previously established “Jordan’s Challenges“, which were first present in NBA 2K11. Players will have the opportunity to recreate some of Jordan’s greatest moments which have been remade in this game. The game will also include 5 new moments, so players can relive the enduring legacy of Michael Jordan.
