Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the pack as the highest-rated player in the game with a 97 overall rating. Five other players - LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Nikola Jokic, and Joel Embiid - share second place with a 96 OVR rating.

Luka Doncic is the next on the list with an overall rating of 95.

However, Durant himself thinks that his number should be significantly higher. "I'm going to need an explanation on why I'm not a 99," KD tweeted. "This has become laughable."

While being among the Top 6 overall, Stephen Curry is the sole leader in the 3-point shooting category with a rating of 99. His teammate Klay Thompson shares second place with an 88 three-point rating.

Paolo Banchero is the highest-rated rookie together with Jabari Smith Jr. Both newcomers share a 78 rating in the game.

Rudy Gobert has the best rating among the French players with an 88, while Franz Wagner is the highest-rated German (80 OVR).
