The cover features LeBron James locking arms with Curry and Goodell in the front row with Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, WNBA star Candace Parker and Oakland Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell, who became the first Major League Baseball player to kneel during the anthem, behind them. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan and Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett are also on the cover.
