Check out the 2K Twitch channel below for the tournament.
Like the previous year, it seems NBA 2K17 will have more than one cover athlete. NBA 2K16 had three different athletes don the cover, including James Harden, Anthony Davis and Steph Curry.
The game also centered around a story that was produced by director Spike Lee as you navigated your character from college to the pros.
2K Games already announced an NBA 2K17: Legend Edition focusing on Kobe Bryant and comes with a bunch of Kobe-inspired goodies.
NBA 2K17 and the Legend Edition will release in stores in September, with the Kobe Bryant Legend Edition selling for $79.99 for both PS4 and Xbox One.
Outside the NBA 2K17 Legend Edition, details surrounding NBA 2K17 are non-existent but with the cover athletes being revealed later tonight -- hopefully, with a trailer -- the details will begin to come out.
So who do you want to see grace the cover of NBA 2K17 ? Let us know in the comments section below.
