The release date of NBA2K’s brand new game is getting closer and closer, and fans couldn’t be more excited.
The player ratings have been released and so all there is now is to wait a few more days until the final product is available everywhere. The game looks more realistic than ever, while on the cover, it features an international player for the first time ever, and that is no other than Giannis Antetokounmpo.
However, the questions the fans have been asking are the following: Who is the highest rated player in the game? The highest rated European? Highest rated teams?
Thus, Eurohoops, presents the ratings of the starting fives of all 30 NBA teams, to answer all of your questions.
