LeBron may no longer be the highest rated player in NBA 2K video game

Published Sep. 17, 2015 4:06 p.m. ET

Most people would agree that LeBron James is the best player in the NBA. But last season, for a variety of reasons, it was Stephen Curry and James Harden who dominated the MVP conversation.

Might one (or both) of them take the crown from James in the video game world, as well?

Obviously, this means next to nothing. But players have looked to ridiculous sources for external motivation in the past, so this could be that if James chooses to believe that people actually don't think that he's still the game's best.

It seems that LeBron’s time atop the basketball video game world may have come to an end.

According to NESN.com, Stephen Curry made the jump from an 89 rating at the start of the season to a 95 by the end of it in ‘NBA 2K15.’ If those ratings hold true this season, then Stephen Curry could start the year rated higher than LeBron. Now, this really isn’t that big of a deal, but it is a bit surprising to see that James’ rating is lower than Curry’s only after Curry won the MVP. James proved who the best player was in the NBA Finals without a doubt, so it would be surprising to see Curry start out on top.
