Kyrie Irving, James Harden Among NBA 2K26 Player Ratings Revealed for Nos. 30-21

The Dallas Mavericks' Kyrie Irving and Los Angeles Clippers' James Harden headlined the newest player rating reveal for NBA 2K26.

Irving sits at 90 overall, with Harden one point worse at 89. The Atlanta Hawks' Trae Young, Boston Celtics' Jaylen Brown and Oklahoma City Thunder's Jalen Williams joined Irving in the 90 club.

Harden at least saw his launch rating take a big jump from the 84 he boasted when NBA 2K25 first released. That was his worst rating since NBA 2K13.

The 35-year-old is no longer the NBA's most prolific scorer, but he has successfully adapted to play off the ball a little more and facilitate the offense. Last year, he averaged 22.8 points on 41 percent shooting along with 8.7 assists. He was rewarded with his first All-Star nod since 2021-22.

Harden reaffirmed his status as one of the better guards in the league.

Williams, meanwhile, has come a long way from starting with a 72 overall rating in NBA 2K23.

The 6'6" wing has continued to improve across his first three seasons and was an instrumental part in Oklahoma City's 2025 Finals triumph. He averaged 21.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists during the postseason, a run that included a 40-point showing in Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers.

The Thunder are well represented in NBA 2K26's top 100 with Luguentz Dort and Chet Holmgren making the cut already.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is still to come and Oklahoma City fans will be eager to see whether the reigning NBA MVP and Finals MVP is the highest-rated player in the game.
