We’re Playing Basketball
NBA 2K20 is out tomorrow. That means basketball fans everywhere can finally sink their teeth into whatever 2K has in store for us this year around. As a matter of fact, the game is going to go live at 12 (ETZ) midnight tonight. So if you happen to live on the west coast of North America, you’ll be able to start playing just after 9 pm today. And then this will, of course, vary for whatever timezone you find yourself in. So as a way to add the hype we are going to be breaking down the top-rated players in each position in NBA 2K20. Please remember that these overalls are not going to be the same across all game modes and will change according to the real-life performances of each of these athletes.

These rankings are not too much of a shock. Dominate all-stars like LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard both have very high overalls, something that should be expected. However, what is interesting is how much of a drop off there is between the all-stars on this list and the regular players. For instance, on one end you have Lebron James getting a 97 overall ranking as the number one small forward, but at the bottom is Rudy Gay who is still a top 10 player at his position only receiving an 81 overall. The disparity seems like a little too much. But then again this should all change once the regular season kicks off.
NBA 2K20 launches on September 6th for the Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.
