LeBron James and Anthony Davis will have their work cut out for them if they want to lead the Los Angeles Lakers back into the running for the championship after an offseason in which there were no personnel changes.

The player ratings for NBA 2K25, a new video game, are being released in anticipation of the upcoming season.

They started with the newcomers, awarding Bronny James a 68 and Dalton Knecht a 70. The Lakers’ sole offseason roster adjustments were the inclusion of their two draft picks, which came in place of Taurean Prince and Spencer Dinwiddie.

D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves will be the Lakers’ starting backcourt for the 2024–25 campaign.

The top three players in the game are Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, all ranked at 97. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Joel Embiid are rated at 96 and 96, respectively. James, Jayson Tatum, and Stephen Curry received scores of 95, while Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis completed the top 10 with scores of 94.

Given that James and Davis are both coming off of fantastic seasons in which they maintained their health despite aging and wear and tear, their rankings make sense.

Following their selection to All-NBA teams, James and Davis represented their nation by playing key roles for Team USA in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. James and Davis proved they were deserving of these top-10 rankings during that run, outperforming many other superstars.
