It's possible that fans and sources will be able to reveal who the cover athlete for at least one edition of NBA 2K22 will be following a string of uncovered leaks.

The yet-to-be-announced NBA 2K22 MT from publisher 2K Games has been the subject of some exciting recent reports. New information about the NBA 2K series of professional basketball video games has emerged, reigniting the debate over which athlete will be featured as the game's key artwork.

It has become a tradition to commemorate each installment's cover with an action pose of an NBA athlete, which has become a traditional signature. Damian Lillard was the most recent cover athlete to be featured in an NBA 2K game, with Kobe Bryant appearing in the Mamba Forever Edition of the game, which was released last year. Furthermore, the NBA 2K21 Next Gen Edition was released, which featured Zion Williamson as the main character. Each edition contains more content that has been compounded, and each edition features a different athlete on the cover, which means that a large number of athletes may share the spotlight in a single NBA 2K installment.

swine_flu_greg describes the essentials of the leak, which begins with an advisory statement, in his post on the topic. Despite the user's insistence that fans take the leaks provided with the largest grain of salt possible, the user refers to the leaks' sources as proof of their claims. Next, the user discloses several leaked images from various 2K video games, beginning with a possible reveal for NBA 2K22. Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks is rumored to be the cover athlete for NBA 2K22, which will be released in September.

It's possible that the athlete will only appear on the cover of a single edition of NBA 2K22.

While the leak may turn out to be accurate if and when the game's cover is revealed, fans are unsure whether Nowitzki will be the game's only cover athlete when the game is released. As a result of Nowitzki's retirement from active competition in 2019, fans speculate that the athlete will only appear on a Legend Edition of the shoe if the leak is accurate. If fans continue to be skeptical, there may be evidence that points to the MT 2K22 leak being more than just a coincidence.

Despite the fact that the leak came from reporter and author Jason Schreier, users have gone ahead and flagged the leak as legitimate as a result of the substantial comment the leak has received. Schreier acknowledges the legitimacy of the leak, and his reputable insight into announcements and leaks may serve as compelling evidence that the leak is genuine in its claims. As Schreier has stated in his blog post, it appears that the leaked cover athlete will not necessarily be revealed during E3, but rather at a later and undisclosed time.

To the contrary, it is important to note that Schreier's belief in the validity of the NBA 2K22 leak is predicated on his prior knowledge that all of the other leaks were correct. Since no official announcements have been made, it is unclear whether any of swine_flu_greg's purported leaks are legitimate; however, insider resources may be sufficient evidence for fans to be justifiably excited for the next NBA 2K game in the meantime.
