?I?m honored to be selected for the cover of NBA 2K,? said Durant, who is currently leading the Oklahoma City Thunder against Los Angeles Clippers during this year?s NBA Playoffs. ?I?ve been an avid fan and player of NBA 2K since I was a kid, and being selected as the sole cover athlete of NBA 2K15 is an amazing accomplishment at this point of my life. I feel like my time has come.?
