Let’s stop arguing about who we think has the best skills on the court. Although it’s pretty obvious that LeBron James, who’s the cover athlete for NBA 2K14, is the hottest commodity in basketball today, fans love to try to prove that their favorite player is either the second, third, or even fourth best in the game. Thankfully, 2K Games has started releasing its yearly player ratings, which paint a pretty clear picture of who the experts think are the most talented individuals dribbling a basketball today.
This is just a short list, but the following players have been confirmed by the major names in the 2K community, including Ronnie2K and LD2K (who recently played the first, full-length game on video). Take a look at what’s been come up with:
· LeBron James – 99
· Kevin Durant – 94
· Carmel Anthony – 92
· Russell Westbrook – 91
· Paul George – 88
· John Wall – 85
· Monta Ellis – 82
· Brook Lopez – 81
· Pau Gasol – 81
· Roy Hibbert – 81
· Anthony Bennett – 76
· Evan Turner – 76
· Victor Oladipo – 76
· Jared Dudley – 73
· Ben McLemore 72
· Nerlens Noel – 72
· Cody Zeller – 68
· Peyton Siva – 67
· Chris Johnson – 66
There are still plenty of big names missing, including stars like Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade. However, just out of the current list, do you see any numbers that you’d either bump up or down?
