The latest installment of the popular NBA video game came out recently, and it has been a major hit. NBA 2K24 once again allows fans to play as their favorite teams and players, taking the game of basketball inside their home. The 2K series has continued to be a fan favorite for years, and it has continued to this day. This year’s version of the game features the late Los Angeles Lakers Hall of Fame shooting guard Kobe Bryant on the cover of both the standard and deluxe editions.
As the game has come out, so have the rankings for all the players. Each player has individual skills that are ranked, and it can be fun to rank players based on their 2K ratings. HoopsHype looked at the top 20 players fastest players in NBA 2K24, and a member of your Los Angeles Lakers made the list.
Star LeBron James came in as the 17th fastest player in the game, which may surprise some people. However, when James has the ball in his hands, he is still a force to deal with. He can get up the court almost in an instant, which is why he likely landed where he did in the ranking. Even at his advanced age, James still can play with the best of them. He showed last season that he is still one of the best players in the game, which is incredible given that he is about to enter his 21st NBA season.
But James is truly unlike any player the league has ever seen, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone. He has turned the late stages of his career into another Hall of Fame worthy masterpiece, and it has been special to watch. As he gets ready for another season, he does so with one thing in mind. That would be winning another championship, and the Lakers have put together a solid team to help meet that challenge. They should be a force in the Western Conference once again, with James leading the charge.
