Their average point differential of 12.9 was the most dominant in NBA history, and the team captured the NBA title in a tight seven-game Finals against the Pacers. At just 26, SGA signed a reported four‑year, $285 million supermax contract extension, one of the richest in NBA history, in recognition of his breakout campaign. This marks the third time a Kentucky Wildcats alum has graced the cover of NBA 2K: Gilgeous‑Alexander follows Anthony Davis (NBA 2K20) and Devin Booker (NBA 2K23) as fellow Kentucky guards featured on the game’s cover. NBA 2K analyst and insiders welcomed Gilgeous‑Alexander’s selection as a no-brainer, especially given how rare it is in league history to earn MVP, Finals MVP, and scoring leader in one season, a feat achieved only by SGA, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, and Shaquille O’Neal. While broader edition announcements are still expected, including special WNBA or Hall of Fame versions, 2K Games confirmed pre-orders will begin July 9, with an anticipated early-September 2025 release window, aligning with the franchise’s usual launch cadence. Reports also suggest that clubs like Caitlin Clark could headline a WNBA cover edition this year. This selection follows last year’s cover star, Jayson Tatum, who appeared on NBA 2K25 after leading the Celtics to the 2024 championship.
