Tracy McGrady (99 OVR)

George Gervin (99 OVR)

For many players, George Gervin is the best shooting guard in NBA 2K23 MyTeam. Similar to Tracy McGrady, George Gervin is a great scorer who is particularly good at finishing at the rim.

With great handles, speed, and acceleration, he can easily get past his opponents and finish with style. His playmaking skills make him an even bigger offensive threat, forcing opponents to make difficult decisions.

With his 6'7" height and a 6'10" wingspan, George Gervin is a very good defender, capable of locking down every guard in the game.

Moses Malone (99 OVR)

Houston Rockets legend Moses Malone occupies the fourth place on the list, with the center having a very well-rounded card. Only David Robinson can match Moses Malone dominance in the paint.

His 95 interior defense, 97 block, 97 defensive rebound, and 95 defensive consistency make him an incredibly defender. Combined with his 12 hall-of-fame defensive badges, he is one of the best rim protectors in the MyTEAM.

On the offensive end, Moses Malone is very strong in the paint, and also possesses a solid three-point shot. He is deadly with his back to the basket, or when he takes advantage of his great mid-range shoot.

Tyler Herro (99 OVR)

When people think about the best NBA 2K23 MyTEAM players, most of them don’t consider Heat SG Tyler Herro. However, the 23 years old North American player has one of the strongest cards in MyTEAM.

Tyler Herro Dark Matter card has some astonishing offensive stats, making him one of the best shooters in the game. He is deadly from long range, can shoot off the dribble or in a catch-and-shoot, and is also able to finish at the rim relatively easily.

On the defensive side, Tyler Herro is also very solid, being a very good perimeter defender. However, he is not a lockdown defender such as George Gervin.

LeBron James (99 OVR)

The all-time NBA scoring leader, and considered by many the greatest basketball player of all time, LeBron James, is the sixth entry to this list. LeBron James excels in all aspects of the game, with the king having a very balanced card.

He has a total of 60 badges, with half of them being hall-of-fame badges. He can score from long range, blow past his opponents and finish at the rim, find an opponent teammate, or use his great mid-range to punish his opponents with a fadeaway.

In defense, Lebron James can guard all five positions, with his 97 lateral quickness, and 96 perimeter defense, allowing him to lock down almost every guard in the game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo has one of the best cards in NBA 2K23 MyTEAM. The Greek player excels at finishing at the rim, with ten hall-of-fame finishing badges.

He can bully players in the post, use his good mid-range, or utilize his speed and strength to get past opponents and finish at the rim. However, it is on defense that this card truly shines.

He does a great job defending the paint, forcing players to take mid-range or three-point shoots, instead of driving to the rim. With 14 hall-of-fame defensive badges, Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best defenders in the game, and players will have a hard time getting through him.

Larry Bird

Larry Bird is yet another legend of the game that enters this list. The three-time NBA champion and MVP 99 overall Dark Matter card is the dream of every NBA 2K23 MyTEAM player.

Despite not being the best finisher in the game, and having difficulties scoring at the rim against players such as Giannis Antetokounmpo or LeBron James, Larry Bird is certainly one of the best shooters in NBA 2K23.

With an impressive 15 hall-of-fame shooting badges, Larry Bird can score the ball from pretty much everywhere in the field, which more than makes up for his lacking ability to finish at the rim. Larry Bird is also a good defender, and players won't have an easy time getting past him.

Tim Duncan

Tim Duncan Dark Matter card makes him the second-best power forward in NBA 2K23 MyTEAM. The Spurs legend excels at playing with his back to the basket, just like he did in real life.

With a great mid-range and close shoot, you just need to get Tim Duncan the ball on the post and watch the magic happen. His three-point shot is decent, but it's not something you should rely upon.

However, something you can rely upon is his spectacular rim protection, as Tim Duncan is capable to lock down the best centers or power forwards in the game. He is also a solid perimeter defender.

Julius Erving

Last but not least, we have basketball legend, Julius Erving. With a 99 overall, Julius Erving's Dark Matter card is one of the best small forward cards in the game.

He is a solid all-around player, with a great ability to finish at the rim. He can shoot the ball well, making him a player you can’t allow to have space. Julius Erving great athleticism is what separates him from others.
