With Stephen Curry coming off his fourth championship, and winning Finals MVP – there’s a strong chance he could grab the number one spot this year.
Alongside Nikola Jokic, who is coming off a back to back MVP season being inaugurated as the best player in the league is definitely a strong campaign to be the best in the game!
NBA 2K23 Predicted Ratings Reveal
Not much has been revealed as of yet, however a potential leak has already seen a rating reveal for LeBron James.
If these leaks are true, LeBron James should grace a 96 OVR in this years’ NBA 2K.
Outside of this, no big names have been in circulation yet – for obvious reasons, seeing as the reveal have not been revealed by 2K yet.
From this information, keeping it speculative we could predict what the Top 5 may look like prior to the ratings reveal from 2K today.
That being said, here’s our Top 5 predictions for NBA 2K23’s ratings:
- Nikola Jokic (96 Overall)
- Stephen Curry (96 Overall)
- LeBron James (96 Overall)
- Giannis Antetokounmpo (95 Overall)
- Kevin Durant (95 Overall)
Nikola ‘Joker’ Jokic sees the number one spot coming off a MVP season, which was his second in a row. Undeniably the best player in the league, he has a strong shot of doing so.
Stephen Curry is coming an excellent season this year, winning his fourth championship and finally holding reign of the Finals MVP, being the current holder. A pinnacle year for the point guard.
We can’t exclude LeBron James in these ratings. Going into year 20, he’s proven that he remains amongst the best, with almost winning the scoring title (at age 37!) so we see LeBron still in the top three.
