2K and Brickman team up to create a life-sized Lego Zion Williamson for NBA 2K21

2K Australia revealed that they have worked with local Lego Master Builder, Brickman, to create a life size Zion Williamson out of Lego bricks, in celebration of NBA 2K21 and when they say life sized, they mean it check out how it came to be, in the video below.

The statue was built using approximately 42,000 Lego bricks and is an impressive, true to size recreation of Zion, a player who is known for his on-court power and also fittingly possesses a Gold “Brick Wall” badge in NBA 2K21.

“Working on this project with 2K Australia and New Zealand has been amazing. We had the whole workshop come together to help build Zion Williamson, and thanks to 2K, we’ve managed to create one of the coolest LEGO® models we’ve ever built,” said Brickman. “The most unusual aspect about our LEGO® Zion was his pose. Getting the LEGO® bricks to stay together on these crazy angles – almost gravity-defying – was quite a challenge. Our skills were well and truly put to the test while building Zion, and we’re really proud of the model we’ve been able to build through this partnership.”

“NBA 2K21 is a significant milestone for the series introducing ground-breaking new features that have been built from the ground up utilising the power of new gaming hardware,” said Ben Seccombe, Director of Marketing & Communications at 2K Australia and New Zealand. “This is a fitting way to celebrate this landmark by rebuilding cover star Zion Williamson out of LEGO® bricks, showcasing his impressive brick wall style physique.”

The only thing is, they have no said where the statue will end up, so keep an eye out, he could come from downtown to a location near you.
