During the commercial for the game, Spike Lee was announcing to know which Kobe cover variant will be chosen by the vote as the second variant (the one with a white long sleeve) was finally chosen. However, the fourth variant seemly depicted Kobe Bryant with the same variant from the second as he wore the Knicks jersey with the number 17 on it. In real life, Kobe was never signed into the Knicks as he was still with the Lakers until his retirement in 2016.
