He has been consistent and dominant over the course of the years. Before 2011, James had shared the highest ratings in the game with Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul and Kevin Garnett among others. He was always at the top of the lists and that hasn’t changed a bit.
Bron just finished his 17th season in the league, playing at the highest level at the age of 35. No wonder they gave him that rating. He is one of the greatest players ever, arguably the most durable player of all time and this is another proof of that. He hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down yet so we’ll probably see him at least sharing the first spot on the list in 2K22.
