Zion Williamson becomes youngest NBA 2K cover athlete, supplanting Chris Paul and Anthony Davis

Zion Williamson may have only 19 professional games under his belt, but that fact doesn’t seem to bother the most popular basketball video game maker.

According to widespread reports — including Williamson’s own social media accounts on Twitter and Instagram, the NBA 2K franchise will feature the New Orleans Pelicans famed rookie on the cover of their next edition, NBA 2K21, making Zion the youngest player to be bestowed such an exclusive honor.

Chris Paul (NBA 2K8) and Anthony Davis (NBA 2K16) were previously the youngest players to be featured on covers at 22 years of age.
