Kobe Bryant will be on the cover of NBA 2K10, the next installment of the popular NBA 2K Sports franchise. I really hoped that they called it NBA 2KX – oh well.

The cover is not schedule to be released until later tonight during Game 1 of the finals, but that’s what the internet is for.

It’s obvious why they didn’t choose the reigning MVP King James… because he will be in a New York Knicks uniform next year with Bosh or Amare :P

If you’re new to the NBA gaming scene – NBA 2K games beats NBA Live games any day.

Congratulations Kobe Bryant fans. 2K10 will be out on all consoles later this year (Q4 2009).
