The Giannis Antetokounmpo hype train took off a little early but reached its destination during the 2018-19 season. Yet, to this day, Irving gets a bad rap for his tenure in Boston. Was it all Irving’s fault? Of course not. His Celtics still managed to push the Cavaliers to seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals, but when Irving returned, the whole ship went down. Of course, Irving would only play 60 games that season and missed the entire playoffs. He averaged 24.4 points and 5.6 assists per contest while leading the Celtics the second-best record in the East. NBA 2k actually had to release a new cover to show Irving on the Boston Celtics.ĭespite Irving’s tenure in Boston being viewed as nothing short of a dumpster fire, he had a really good year in 2017-18 after donning the cover. Kyrie Irving was on the 2k18 cover for the Cleveland Cavaliers and switched teams before the game was even released. Paul George was on the 2k17 cover for the Indiana Pacers and switched teams the next season. LeBron James was on the 2k14 cover for the Miami Heat and switched teams the next season. He was an NBA All-Star that year and led the Pacers to the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference, though they got swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round. How did Paul George get his own cover? Was Jimmy Butler busy?Īll jokes aside, George had a solid final year with the Indiana Pacers in 2017, putting up 23.7 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.
