NBA 2K21 ratings: LeBron James tops list at 98; Giannis, Anthony Davis follow

As the NBA 2019-20 season comes to an end with Los Angeles Lakers as the champions, NBA 2K released a list of their player ratings. Unsurprisingly, LeBron James was leading the list with 98 points, followed by reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and James' teammate Anthony Davis. "Still King," wrote their Twitter account, asking fans if they agree with their ratings.

While the list includes multiple players, only a few made it over a rating of 90. While James sits at 98, Giannis follows with 97. Anthony Davis and James Harden follow at 96. James and Davis both were among the best players this season, leading the Lakers to their first NBA title in 10 years. While Giannis and the Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated early during the playoffs, the 25-year-old won back-to-back MVP awards, while also bagging the Defensive Player of the Year 2020 award.

Steph Curry and Kevin Durant, who were sidelined this season, still made it to the list. Damian Lillard, Luka Doncic and Jimmy Butler are few others who received a more than 90 rating. Kyrie Irving and Jason Tatum were both rated 90.
