"It's humbling to be on the 20th anniversary cover of a game I've played and loved since I was a little kid," said James. "We were able to do something really unique for the cover that represents everything that drives me and inspires me - from my family to where I come from and words I live by. I'm honored my journey can be part of this special time in 2K history and I'm excited for fans to see it."
