Aside from the excitement that comes with refinements and new features each year, the annual release of the NBA 2K video game is also anticipated because of player ratings. For the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James holds the highest overall rating in NBA 2K19 at 98.
James was pleased with his rating, while Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart felt they may have been shortchanged a bit at 80 and 76, respectively. Overall, the Lakers received a 93 rating as a team.
NBA 2K19 identified their offense (96) being the stronger than defense (90). Individually, Brandon Ingram is the next-highest rated player after James at 82.
