Q: You were a floor spacing big man before it became common in the NBA. But I guess it’s nice to know that, you know, people respected what I’ve done for this league and what I’ve tried to do for the sport. So I’m thrilled to be on the cover with these two unbelievable players that I’ve admired and I’m a fan of, so I‘m thrilled. Q: What does it mean to you to be on the cover of NBA 2K22 the 75th Anniversary Edition as a legend?Ī: Obviously I never really looked myself as a legend, but it is a great honor to be on the cover with Kevin Durant, who I personally know and respect a lot and of course Kareem, who back in the day with his sky hook obviously completely changed the game and had a weapon that nobody’s ever seen. That would be, that’ll be the ultimate goal. And that’s very scary, so he’ll be around hopefully in Mavs land for the rest of his career and for a long, long time, and hopefully he can win an MVP and hopefully he can bring another championship to Dallas.

H’s got the full package already at age 22. He’s an amazing player, a great all-around player already at his age, how he sees the floor, shoots, reads the pick and roll, how he posts up on smaller guards. So, I mean he still has a long career ahead of him. He was basically an MVP candidate last two years already, made all-NBA first team again this year. The kid is only what 22 now and he’s already playing at an unbelievable level. Q: Do you think Luka Doncic has the potential to be the MVP, and succeed you in the franchise history?Ī: I’m sure. There are so many great young stars out there that are going to carry this league for a long time.ĭuring his 30-minute Zoom session with reporters from around the world to announce his NBA 2K cover honor, Nowitzki answered other general basketball questions, a few of which follow, lightly edited for brevity: “That’s been fun to watch, the evolution of course of the European players, but globally, as well,” Nowitzki said.

The cover for the cross-gen digital bundle edition of NBA 2K22, the latest entry in the basketball video game series, features Mavericks guard Luka Doncic. Europeans who have been on special edition covers corresponding to their native country are Marc and Paul Gasol (Spain), Dennis Schroder (Germany), Tony Parker (France) and Danilo Gallinari (Italy). Giannis Antetokounmpo of Greece was featured on the NBA 2K19 cover. Germany’s Nowitzki and Slovenia’s Doncic join a relatively short list of Europeans who have graced an NBA 2K cover.

“I’m happy for him, what he’s been able to achieve in just a couple of years in the league,” Nowitzki said, adding of sharing NBA 2K cover honors with Doncic, “I’m thrilled it worked out that way.”
