Have you tried NBA 2K25 yet? Well, fans have been enjoying the game and the initial reviews seem pretty convincing. The movements are much smoother this time, with gamers pulling all sorts of ankle breakers and step-backs with their favorite players. Not only that, the ratings have also been satisfying. Nikola Jokic, SGA, and Luka Doncic remain the highest-rated players, each holding a 97 overall rating. Coming down on the list, LeBron James received a 95 overall rating this year which had Stephen A. Smith questioning Ronnie 2K.
Now, there haven’t been many players with a 99 overall rating in 2K history. LeBron James, on the other hand, has had a 99 rating in 2K9 but has also averaged a significantly higher rating average. While Ronnie 2K settled with Michael Jordan as his GOAT, there is no doubt that the King had the best ratings in history. “Without question. Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time,” Ronnie said. Looking at the numbers, LeBron has averaged a 95.68 rating in the 22 appearances on 2K.
Moreover, Kobe Bryant is the runner-up on the list with a 94.94 rating. Now, Michael Jordan’s different versions have had different ratings in the past. However, his 95-96 season performance has always stood out the most, with a consistent 99 overall rating. But could MJ or James touch the 100 mark? The only player to achieve this is Shaquille O’Neal. But then again, we might see a 100 overall rated MJ before we could see a 100 overall LeBron James, as Ronnie said.
