The New York Knicks have finally done it. They’ve at last gotten a former Knick to be on the cover of an NBA 2K game, as it was announced earlier today that former Knick, Carmelo Anthony, will grace the cover of NBA 2K26’s Superstar Edition. Now, technically, this isn’t the first time a former Knick has graced the cover of the popular video game franchise.
Anthony joins the one and only Danilo Gallinari, who was the cover athlete for NBA 2K17’s Italy edition. But he did so while wearing a Denver Nuggets jersey, making this the first time ever that a player wearing a Knicks jersey will headline the annually released game.
