Nikola Jokic should trade that jester hat for a crown, because the Joker received the highest overall rating in the upcoming NBA 2K24 game.
2K Games on Wednesday tweeted that the 28-year-old Nuggets center will have a 98 overall rating, the highest among all players in the upcoming release.
For Jokic, this is his highest rating the video game series’ history, rising from his previous mark of 96 in last year’s edition. It is the fifth consecutive year he has reached the 90 mark in the initial ratings. He had initial 90 overall scores from the 2K20 and 2K21 editions of the game and a 95 in 2K22. It’s also a substantial improvement from his rookie season when he was rated just 68 in NBA 2K16.
The defending NBA Finals MVP led Denver to its first-ever championship last season.
Rounding out the top 10 players in the game are Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (96), Lakers forward LeBron James (96), 76ers center Joel Embiid (96), Suns forward Kevin Durant (96), Warriors guard Stephen Curry (96), Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (95), Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (95), Heat guard Jimmy Butler (95), Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (94), Suns guard Devin Booker (94) and Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (94).
NBA 2K24 is slated for a Sept. 8 release date for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S.
