Devin Booker’s rise from budding talent to blazing sharpshooter over the last few seasons has established him as one of the brightest stars in the league, and more importantly lifted his team into the postseason for back-to-back years. A three-point champion, gold medalist, and three time all-star, Booker is poised to take over as a face of the league. The NBA has only witnessed six players score 70 points or more in a game, and Booker is one of them, joining Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, David Thompson, and David Robinson.

After being in the NBA for seven years, Book has made an impact not only on but off the court as well. In addition to averaging 23.5 points per game, 3.9 rebounds per game, and 4.7 assists per game during his career, he is paving the way for the next generation of players by building courts around the country. In 2021, Booker partnered with 2K Foundations to build and renovate basketball courts in Moss Point, Miss., where he honed his skills playing high school basketball. Booker is inspiring people with his silky smooth jumper on the court and with his philanthropic efforts in the community, which is why he’s the perfect choice to be the NBA 2K23 cover athlete.
