Being that “23” is the most recognizable number in sports, representing one of the greatest athletes of all time. It makes sense that NBA 2K23 would bring Jordan back as their cover athlete. It also makes sense that the developers chose to bring back the idea of Jordan Challenges, which were such a hit with previous installments of NBA 2K.
10 of the 15 challenges will be taken from NBA 2K11, which originally featured the idea of Jordan Challenges. While the remaining 5 will be completely new to the game.
