NBA 2K16 Player Ratings - Top 10 Players

There are two sides of the ball in basketball. Curry is elite level on one side, and is able to be hidden by his team's all-time great perimeter, and interior defenders on the other side. LeBron is an elite offensive player, and a better than average defensive player. Is he as good of a shooter as Steph? Absolutely not. But he's one of the games best finishers, best scorers, best passers, playmakers, decision makers and foul drawers. Not to mention that he has clout around the league. Could it and should it be argued that Steph is a 90? Sure. But historically, LeBron is one of the all time greats. And since the ratings are based off of all time greats(there are only 2 other SF in history as good as LeBron: Pippen, Bird and perhaps one day KD) then LeBron should be higher than, or have a greater gulf between he and other players. Not a fan of recency bias. Old curmudgeon out.

So we just gonna disregard Nique like that

'Nique was a beast, no lie. But again, in the annals of NBA hierarchy, I believe that the 3 players that I mentioned are the best at the respective position. I'd take no issue, nor have any qualms about 'Nique being a mid to high 80's rating.

stephen curry top 2 above AD and KD, and only a notch below LeBron, is laughable. I can understand KD being that he was hurt but still. I would even take Harden, Russ, and CP3 over Curry. I wish 2K would stop gassing players ratings because of team success. Just like last year when almost every Spurs player got a ratings bump. And at people saying Kawhi is better than Melo but have no problem with Curry being so high when his defense is worse than Melo's

I'm not big fan of Malo but his a beast on offense.........

I think this is the year cousins gets his team winning to support his stats. PG i just dont know about him being moved to PF, he isnt like lebron or melo or unguardable because of his height like KD. Lillard could also have a high usage rate this year and wouldnt be surprised if he had numbers like 26 7 and 6 which would probably grant him top ten access as well

Paul George is the same height as KD.....

Did you just put CP3 over Steph Curry after Steph abused him every time they matched up last season?

So Much ignorance in this post. Curry is perfect where is, based off the entire body of work last year. And the idea of melo being better defensively than curry is also laughable. People so stuck in the past. Curry played solid D last year.
