When it comes to knowing which players to use when playing against friends, which players to keep an eye on when playing against, and, of course, which players to sign in MyCareer or play with in MyPlayer before the game's release on September 10th, there is no better time than now. Any basketball fan will be familiar with all of these names and most likely expected them to make it into the top ten of NBA 2K22's best-of list. According to the game's official website, the following are the top overall players in 2K22 MT PC:
With regard to player ratings, the MT 2K22 PS4 has high expectations for each season. In the top NBA game simulator, some players will have a lower rating than they did in the previous edition, while those who had a successful season will have a higher rating.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard is ranked tenth.
This season, the Trail Blazers' point guard, who is 31 years old, had another outstanding campaign. However, as has been the case in the past, he was only able to carry the team so far, and they were eliminated by the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the Western Conference postseason. The United States national basketball team, which Lillard was a part of, provided him with an outlet for his frustration, as they won gold at the Tokyo Olympics. Basketball 2K22 has given him a total rating of 94.
9. James Harden – James Harden, the Brooklyn Nets' "The Beard," didn't have the best season of his career in 2020-21 by any stretch of the imagination.
The Houston Rockets were having a bad season, so he requested to be traded, which was eventually accomplished. His first season with the Brooklyn Nets was marred by injuries, and he was unable to provide much assistance to the team in the postseason. Despite this, Harden is still one of the best scorers in the league and has a 94 overall rating in NBA 2K22, which is largely due to his reputation as a dominant force in the league.
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doni is the eighth player on the list.
With this performance, the Slovenian prodigy is putting himself in position to win the league's most valuable player award. Despite another outstanding season and his best efforts to carry the Mavericks into the postseason, the Los Angeles Clippers proved to be too much for Doni to handle in the Western Conference's first round. When it comes to NBA 2K22, Doni has received a 94 overall rating and is also featured on the game's cover athlete.
Seventh-ranked player: Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia Sixers.
His status as one of the best center/power forwards in the league continues to grow as the Cameroonian matures. A bitter end to their season came in the form of an Eastern Conference semifinals loss to the Atlanta Hawks, but Embiid did everything in his power to get his team to the finish line despite not being at 100 percent health at the time. With a 95 overall rating, he is the seventh-best player in the game.
Nuggets forward Nikola Joki is ranked sixth in the NBA rankings.
Joki was named the league's most valuable player during the regular season of the 2020-21 campaign. To put it simply, the Serbian center is a fantastic player. Despite this, the Nuggets were unable to compete in the postseason, falling to the Phoenix Suns in a 3-0 sweep in the Western Conference finals. A flagrant foul two on Cameron Payne resulted in Joki's dismissal from the previous game. What he accomplished last season, however, remains unblemished, as evidenced by his NBA 2K22 rating of 95.5 points per 100 possessions.
5th place: Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers
Whenever he's healthy, Kawhi Leonard is one of the best players in the NBA. In the Western Conference finals against the Suns, he was unable to assist his team because he was recovering from a sprain to his left knee. But, with a 95 overall rating in NBA 2K22, he will be one of the best forwards in the game.
4th place: Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors.
When it comes to the regular season, the American point guard averaged 32 points per game, which is a lot but not enough to help the Warriors qualify for the postseason. The best guard in NBA 2K22 will be Stephen Curry, who will be given a 96 overall rating because he is still playing at an MVP level.
Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks is the third best player in the league.
After winning the NBA championship and being named the NBA Finals MVP in the same season in 2020-21, the Greek Freak accomplished a double feat. Although he suffered a knee injury in the Eastern Conference finals, and missed the final two games against the Atlanta Hawks, he was able to lead the Bucks to their first championship since 1991. But in the NBA Finals, he played as if nothing had happened. Against the Phoenix Suns in the final game of the finals, he recorded 50 points, 14 rebounds, and five blocks, and the Milwaukee Bucks won their first championship in 50 years. When it comes to NBA 2K22, Giannis will have a rating of 96.
2) Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets.
As a result of his scoring ability and ability to come up big in clutch situations, this forward has been regarded as the best player in the league by many for several seasons. After all of his hard work, he wasn't able to advance past the Eastern Conference finals last season, falling short to the Milwaukee Bucks in game seven despite putting forth some incredible efforts. The Olympic Games were his first opportunity to show off his skills, and he was the most prominent member of Team USA throughout the competition. As of NBA 2K22, Durant has a 96 overall rating, which puts him in second place.
Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James is the number one player in the world.
A single king reigns supreme. Despite the fact that LeBron maintained his dominance throughout the season, the Lakers' hopes of winning a second championship were all but dashed the moment Anthony Davis went down with an injury. The 36-year-old King James, on the other hand, hasn't shown any signs of his age, and he'll be the best player in NBA 2K22, with an overall rating of 96.
