NBA 2K21 Ratings
These are the biggest ratings changes to pay attention to in the very first NBA 2K21 ratings update.
Kevin Durant 96 OVR (+1)
Kevin Durant is coming off of a massive ACL tear, an injury that has been known to change athletes.
But despite the concerns, KD has come out red hot in the 2021 NBA season, giving the Brooklyn Nets a fearsome leader on both sides of the ball.
While KD also has the returning Kyrie Irving in his corner to give defenses trouble, KD has massively impressed since his return.
Nikola Jokic 93 OVR (+2)
The Joker is one of the most unique NBA players today, and it's been working very well in the 2021 NBA season.
Jokic is a threat from beyond the arc, in the post, handling the ball, distributing the ball, and in the midrange game.

This is a skillset no other player in the NBA really matches, and while Jokic's play may look strange at times, it's incredibly effective.
As a result, The Joker is finally getting the credit he deserves and rising up the NBA 2K21 ratings in the first Ratings Update.
CJ McCollum 87 OVR (+3)
CJ McCollum has always been an important piece to the Portland Trailblazers, but underappreciated playing behind NBA 2K21 cover star Damian Lillard.
To start the 2021 NBA season, however, Dame has taken a back seat on the production side, and McCollum has more than picked up the slack.
