After leading the Los Angeles Lakers to the 2020 NBA title (and winning Finals MVP honors in the process), LeBron James is already reaping some rewards for his accomplishments.
James will be rated as a 98 in NBA 2K21, making him the highest-rated player in the video game. Right behind him in the ratings is Milwaukee Bucks star and two-time Kia MVP winner Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is a 97.
