What does it take to break the virtual ceiling? NBA 2K25 just dropped its list of top 10 players, and behind those ratings—hidden in numbers—are stories of jaw-dropping feats and stubborn legends refusing to fade.
Tenth on this hallowed list? Anthony Davis, posting up with a 94. Right alongside him, Kevin Durant—forged by time, undaunted by expectations—sits at nine, also holding a shining 94.
Jayson Tatum emerges at eight with a 95, while Steph Curry, the game's long-range poet, finds himself at seven—no longer among the two highest-rated point guards. That’s just wild.
Now, the air really thins. LeBron, somehow still ageless, notches a 95 at sixth. At nearly 40—playing like it's spring, not winter. Seriously, will we ever witness this again?
"LeBron is nearly 48, still rated 95. We’ll never witness this again."
Joel Embiid stands tall at five with a 96, steady as ever. But the shocker? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (number four), a massive three points higher than last year—officially overtaking Curry in 2K’s eyes.
At three, Giannis rises with a towering 97. Two is reserved for Luka Dončić, who leapfrogs with a personal-best 97—classic clutch moment for Luka fans.
And at the summit: Jokic, 97. It’s one step down from last year but still, the undisputed king in the eyes of the game’s architects.
Who got snubbed? Who rose too fast? These player ratings beg for debate. You’ve got to see it yourself—better just watch the clip.
