The 2K team revealed the top 10 on August 26. Reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic is the top-rated player at 97 OVR, although he’ll share that rating with Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jayson Tatum, and Stephen Curry are among the notable names also in the top 10.

The list from 11-100 in NBA 2K25 features a collection of household names, from Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards (#11), Paul George, Jimmy Butler (#22), and Jamal Murray (#38).

Additionally, the list includes NBA rebound leader Domantas Sabonis, assist leader Tyrese Haliburton, and steals per game leader De’Aaron Fox.

The top 100 also features notable second-year players, Derek Lively II and Victor Wembanyama. Lively II played a big role in the Mavericks’ run to the Western Conference title last year, while the Spurs center averaged over 21 points per game and won the 2023-24 NBA Rookie of the Year. Wembanyama will begin 2K25 in the top 20.

Keep in mind these ratings will change throughout the year.
