NBA 2K25 will launch on September 6, 2024, but fans already know who will be the best players in the game. LeBron James and Stephen Curry have unsurprisingly made the top 10, but they’re not leading the pack.

The developer has taken its time to fully reveal the top 100 player ratings, unveiling them by group until it was the turn for the top 10 on Monday. And that’s when we learned James and Curry have five players above them.

With a 95 overall rating, LeBron is the sixth highest-rated player in NBA 2K25. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar has the same overall rating as Steph, though the Golden State Warriors icon is seventh on the list.

The five players who were ranked higher than James and Curry are Joel Embiid (96 OVR), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (96 OVR), Giannis Antetokounmpo (97 OVR), Luka Doncic (97 OVR), and Nikola Jokic (97 OVR).

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic is the highest-rated player in NBA 2K for the second year in a row. Even though the 2023-24 NBA MVP dropped one point in regard to the previous iteration, he’s still leading the player ratings.
