Being named the cover athlete of the MyNBA 2K companion app can be a stepping stone to bigger and better things. On Tuesday, Porzingis was named the face of the online app that functions as a mobile game and a resource for gamers to earn virtual currency for the console version of NBA 2K. The Oklahoma City Thunder's Paul George was the cover athlete of the companion app ahead of NBA 2K16, and the following year he graced the cover of NBA 2K17.
