This should stir up some debate.
2K Sports released its top 20 player ratings for the upcoming NBA 2K20 release on Monday and doesn’t list the reigning MVP as the league’s best player.
That honor is a tie bestowed upon a pair of multi-time NBA Finals MVP winners who will reside in Los Angeles next season — LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard.
Nobody got a 99, with 2K sports rating James and Leonard both at 97.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who won league MVP honors with the Bucks last season, comes in next with a 96 rating alongside Kevin Durant and James Harden.
