Giannis Antetokounmpo has been named the NBA 2K19 standard edition cover star, 2K today confirmed.

Called the “Greek Freak,” Antetokounmpo is the first player in NBA history to finish a regular season ranked in the top 20 when it comes to total points, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals.

Moreover, Antetokounmpo has an impressive trophy room; he’s won All-Rookie Second Team, NBA All-Defensive Second Team, Most Improved Player and has made the All-NBA Second Team twice. Not a bad resume, eh?

Antetokounmpo joins previously announced 20th anniversary cover star, LeBron James.

NBA 2K19 heads to Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch on 11 September. LeBron’s anniversary edition is available from 7 September.
