The complete player ratings for NBA 2K26 has been released! Beyond that, the game showcases the game’s evaluation of the top talents in professional basketball. Nikola Jokic tops the list with a jaw-dropping 98 overall rating. It is the crowning achievement of what has become an undisputed ascent to one of the very best players in the league. Coming in a second behind him is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, sporting a 98 OVR rating, further proving the high quality of talent we have in the NBA these days.
Ranking third is Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has a 97 rating. This triumvirate lays the groundwork for this year’s edition of the best-selling basketball simulation video game. Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards both received ratings of 95, cementing their status as elite players on the rise. Meanwhile, Jayson Tatum, Victor Wembanyama, Stephen Curry, and LeBron James are all at 94, big bangers. This accomplishment is a testament to their tremendous impact on their teams.
Make no mistake, KD remains one of the highest-rated players in the game, even from a distance—which proves he still matters. Donovan Mitchell, Anthony Davis, Jalen Brunson, and Tyrese Haliburton join the aforementioned Jackson as relative outliers in the top-60 ranked players. Together, each of them scored a phenomenal 93 – the highest ratings ever! Kawhi Leonard completes the top tier at a 92 overall.
The ratings serve as an accurate representation of individual skills, yes, but the impressive impact overall these players have brought to their respective teams. Jokic’s No. 1 ranking comes on the heels of a truly historic season, one in which he carried the Denver Nuggets to the franchise’s first championship. At the same time, his climb to number two all-time shows just how fast he’s developed and how consistently he’s executed on-court.
The ratings serve multiple purposes. First, they allow fans to directly compare how their favorite players stack up to each other. Players get direct lessons on how to develop a strong squad in the game. As players engage with NBA 2K26, they will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the elite skills and unique gameplay styles that these top-rated athletes embody.
