Golden State Warriors: Analyst Questions Whether Stephen Curry Deserves His New NBA 2K25 Rating

You may have your specific take on Stephen Curry’s situation with the Golden State Warriors, but it’s hard to deny that he’s a key piece to the Dubs’ quest to return to the NBA Finals and win one more title before he rides off to the sunset.

While there are talks of Curry possibly leaving the Warriors to team up with LeBron James on another team, it must be assumed that the point guard will only be playing for one team his entire career. If the Dubs fail to make a deep playoff run with the moves they did in the offseason, it wouldn’t be strange to see him ask for a move away.

While Curry’s future with the Warriors is hazy, his rating in NBA 2K25 places Curry as one of the top players in the NBA. One analyst puts the rating into question.

Analyst assesses whether Stephen Curry deserved NBA 2K25 rating

The four-time NBA champion and future Hall of Famer was given a 95 rating. While some may consider the rating to be a bit too high for a player who failed to lead the Warriors to the playoffs, Athlon Sports’ Lance Roberson believes that the rating was properly justified:

Despite missing the 2024 playoffs, Curry won the Clutch Player of the Year award. Although Golden State failed to make the playoffs three times since 2020, Curry held up his end of the bargain by leading the franchise to a championship in 2022, as well as earning four All-NBA honors.

Regardless of where the Warriors fit in the NBA’s power rankings, Curry is a a top 10 player. NBA 2K agrees with such a sentiment as Curry is tied with LeBron James and Jayson Tatum with a 95 overall rating.

Curry’s performance for the Warriors last season also justifies the high rating he got. The 36-year-old forward finished the 2023-24 season with 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.4 assists on 45.0% FG and 40.8% 3FG.

It’s in the Golden State Warriors’ best interests to give Steph the best situation to win another championship. Otherwise, he may be featured in the next NBA 2K game wearing another team’s jersey.
