He kinda helped me, D’Angelo (Russell), and Karl (Anthony Towns). We’ve both been CAA clients for a long time. He really genuinely cares about how you’re doing, and how you are in your day-to-day life.ĬT: Similarly, what’s your relationship with Chris Paul like and how has he changed your game?ĭB: Our relationship is always growing. We just share a common interest or common love for the game. He likes to develop personal relationships and all the basketball stuff is a bonus. It’s much bigger than just a sport of basketball. He’s one of those people that when you’re talking to him, he looks you directly in your eyes, and you feel everything that he said. What does he mean for the Suns?ĭB: He means everything. Just the color scheme, including Phoenix, it’s fire.ĬT: Looking ahead, who do you think makes the cover next year? Who’s your early favorite for 2K24?ĭB: I would say either (Jayson) Tatum or (Ja) Morant.ĬT: Tell me about Monty Williams. So it’s really groundbreaking what we did, and I think moving forward they’ll do that every time now. Looking back at the covers, usually, they just grab a photo off of Getty Images and put the art behind it. Do you stand by that?ĭB: It’s the first time they did a proper photoshoot for it. Just to be mentioned with those names and share this moment together is unbelievable.ĬT: I saw on Twitter you were saying the cover art might be the best of all time. Michael Jordan the same, and I feel the same way about Sue Bird. Have you worked with them previously, and what does it mean to share the cover with them?ĭB: I haven’t worked with them in the past, but I’ve been around (Taurasi) for a while in Phoenix and have the utmost respect for her. But now I think in ’23 he’s gonna be a lot better.ĬT: Talk me through sharing this honor with Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird and Michael Jordan. I made a complaint to 2K about my player before and his movements and how he moved. I went after it, I got a good stretch in before. It was a big moment for me.ĬT: Did you wear that suit with all the balls?ĭB: No, I didn’t do that until recently with the cover and everything. I remember it was summer league and they got our face scans. I’ve always created a player, and then my rookie year was the first time face scans got in the game. And then they started the whole MyPark thing, it just amplified everything. Thinking back to all the way NCAA football, I used to create a left-handed quarterback.ĬT: Did you play football growing up? Were you good?Īnd, you know, playing 2K creating my own player. I mean, growing up, I always created a player. It shows real skill.ĬT: Do you remember the first time you were in a video game? It gets you playing with different teams, so people don’t just play with the heavy hitters. You do random three times and the opponent picks.ĬT: Who invented that? I think it’s a universal rule.ĭB: It’s good, though. To grace the cover and to understand the magnitude of it and what comes with it is everything I signed up for.ĬT: When you play the game, what two teams are you playing as? Obviously, the Suns are off the board.ĭB: It usually varies, me and my buddies just randomly select. Just having a connection with gaming and the game 2K, playing it my entire life. Obviously for me, it’s a bucket list thing that I’ve always had. How did this come together, walk us through it.ĭB: It’s been quite some time. How did this come together? I don’t know if you looked at the betting markets, but you were behind a couple of names on the list. You also extended with Nike, correct? Well-deserved. CT: First, congratulations on the big extension.
