NBA 2K17 Legend Edition Featuring Kobe Bryant Announced

Wheres Dirk's special edition cover?

I'm praying that 2k finally does something similar to 2k11 with this Kobe edition and has some individual game challenges (ex: score 81 against jalen rose and the raptors or try to beat the 97 Jazz playing with a shook Shaq, VanExel, etc who all have depleted confidence and bad hands in the fourth).

Duncan and Dirk are too to do what Kobe did.

Me and you both brother. That way one of us can recreate an old nba season. (i.e. 92-93 nba season)

We all did the Michael Jordan NBA 2K11 Challenge. How great would it be to do one of Kobe Bryant through the years, especially given he’s been with 2K every year, he has the Legend Edition cover, and the announcement of his retirement. 2K17 would be the most epic and FUN 2K in history if they did the Mamba Challenge and it went something like this:

Mamba Challenge:

• 1997 Slam Dunk Championship
  2K said they are adding All-Star Weekend this time, so why not have an only 19 year old Kobe starting his career in style.
  Goal: Win the dunk competition.
• Vs. Indiana – June 19, 2000, NBA Finals Game 6
  Goal: Win NBA Championship #1, Score 26 pts, 10 rebounds
• Vs. Philadelphia – June 15, 2001 NBA Finals Game 5
  The best playoff basketball team in NBA history; why not re-live the legacy?
  Goal: Win NBA Championship #2, Score 26 points, 12 rebounds
• Vs. Nets, June 12, 2002 – NBA Finals Game 4
  Goal: Win NBA Championship #3, Score 25 points, 8 assists
• Vs. Seattle, January 7, 2003
  The day Kobe broke the all-time record for most 3 pointers in a game!
  Goal: Win the game, make 12 3 point shots, 7 rebounds
• Vs. Washington, March 28, 2003
  We always had the Jordan vs. Kobe comparisons, so why not re-live the final time the two ever played each other? It was a passing of a torch and what a game Kobe left the Airness with remembering…
  Goal: Win, 55 points, make 9 3 Point shots
• Vs. Dallas, December 20, 2005
  He outscored the whole team!
  Goal: Win the game, and score 62 points before the entire Dallas team!
• vs. Toronto, January 22, 2006
  We all remember this infamous game!
  Goal: Win the game, 81 points, shoot 60% or over
• vs. Phoenix, May 6, 2006, Western Conference First Round
  Although you likely won’t relive those moments, we all want this game and matchup because of the whole MVP debate that year of Nash or Kobe, as well as reliving those two buzzer beating shots!
  Goal: Win the game, 24 points, 8 assists
• Vs. Portland, March 16, 2007
  Goal: Win, 65 points, shoot 58% or higher
• Vs. Cleveland, January 19, 2009
  We all want to see a prime Kobe vs. LeBron one more time.
  Goal: Win, 12 assists, hold LeBron James to 23 points or less
• Vs. Knicks, February 9, 2009
  We all remember when he broke the Most Points in Madison Square Garden, surpassing MJ. Spike Lee must be courtside for this one…
  Goal: Win, 61 points, make ALL free throws
• 2009 NBA All-Star Game
  Who doesn’t want to play an All-Star game one more time with all those big names? Sure, this is one of Kobe’s many All-Star Game MVP’s received, but this is where he re-united with Shaquille O’Neal and they won the MVP awards together.
  Goal: Win the game, win All-Star Game MVP, make sure Shaq scores 17 pts
• Vs. Orlando, June 4, 2009 NBA Finals Game 1
  Goal: Win the game that lead to Championship #4, 40 Points, 8 assists
• Vs. Boston, June 17, 2010, NBA Championship Game
  My most anticipated game of my life, and in many ways the end of the Mamba era. We must have a Celtic vs. Laker rivalry, and relive this one.
  Goal: Win NBA Championship #5, get the Player of the Game / MVP award, score 23 points
• Vs. Utah, April 13, 2016
  The farewell game. “Mamba Day”; an older fatigued Kobe doing it special again one last time. Why not end it as special as his career was.
  Goal: Win the game, 60 points, shoot 44% or higher
  
  Let’s do this 2K, and this would be the greatest basketball game of all time!
