NBA 2K22 player ratings: How do the league’s biggest stars rank now?

New season, new game… LeBron and Steph still top?

Basketball, they say, is a strong link sport. Soccer, by contrast, is a weak link sport. In other words, results are often determined by momentary lapses and defensive breakdowns, so great teams with no weak links tend to win, rather than individual superstars accompanied by ten journeymen. 

Cut to LeBron picking up rings for Miami, Cleveland, and the Lakers by sheer force of will. The superstars aren’t just the most exciting part of the sport; they are the strong links who decide the outcomes. They are the NBA. No shade intended, Jordan Clarkson. 

Getting their stats right in NBA 2K matters, then. *Puts on best Al Pacino voice* Waddya got, 2K22?

Every former Michigan State Basketball player rating in NBA 2K21

We took a look at where every Michigan State player is rated heading into the end of the season in the popular basketball simulation game.

NBA 2K21 has updated their player ratings as we head into the midway point of the NBA season, and there are some surprising changes for Michigan State Basketball players around the league.

Xavier Tillman and Cassius Winston are now included as of recently, and Tillman has earned a lot of respect, jumping 7 points since December. Other Spartans like Gary Harris and Draymond Green may be facing some disrespect in their ratings.
