LeBron James is truly the most loved and respected he’s ever been in his career, the basketball legend leading the Lakers to a 2020 NBA title (while bagging Finals MVP honours along the way) and gaining mad cred for reviving Los Angeles to their former glory. There’s no part of the sporting world that will refuse to give him his props, and that includes the virtual sporting world, as King James is the highest rated player in the upcoming iteration of NBA 2K21.
Specifically, James is being rated as a 98 in the upcoming iteration, making him the highest-rated player in the whole game. Trailer behind him is Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo at 97 and Houston’s James Harden, at 96.
