Kobe Bryant's basketball career may be ending Wednesday, but his legacy will continue to live on.
To honor the Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard's illustrious career, 2K Sports has placed Bryant on the cover of its upcoming game NBA 2K17 Legend Edition.
"It’s a great honor to partner with 2K on the NBA 2K17 Legend Edition," Bryant stated in a press release. "As I walk off the NBA court for the final time, it’s exciting to know my fans can continue to celebrate my lifelong career as a Los Angeles Laker."
