The Are The Top 20 Rated Players in 2K Games' NBA 2K26

This week, 2K Games, the makers behind an enormously popular NBA video game, announced the top 20 rated players in their latest game. 

The announcement of which players will be at the top of the list is always hotly anticipated. The game maker has rolled out their top 100 list slowly and released the top 20 on Thursday. 

The two players at the top of the list with a 98 score, Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, have both won MVP Awards and NBA Championships recently. Giannis Antetokounmpo, another MVP and NBA champion, is the lone 97. 

Two young and explosive guards, Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards, both have a rating of 95. The 94's are a mix of veterans and young stars: LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Victor Wembanyama, Jayson Tatum, and Kevin Durant. 

The 93 group features three fierce rivals from the NBA's Eastern Conference: Donovan Mitchell, Jalen Brunson, and Tyrese Haliburton. Also included in the group is long-time superstar Anthony Davis. 

The group of players rated at 92 features one up-and-comer and three longtime stars. Cade Cunningham is in this group and will have the chance to climb this list in coming years. Karl-Anthony Towns, Joel Embiid, and Kawhi Leonard were also given a 92 rating. 

Two guards round of the top 20 with grades of 91. The first of them is Devin Booker, one of the best shooters in the game and a Phoenix Suns star. The other is Ja Morant who back to his dominant self last year after a few seasons of injuries and controversy.
