LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers Star, is representing his country at the International competition. The 39-year-old has been giving dominating performances for Team USA, leading the team to win five exhibition games and three straight victories in the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, this is not the only thing that amazed the NBA fans; James also had impressive NBA 2K25 ratings.
According to a recent post by BronMuse on X (formerly known as Twitter), James, who was recently praised by Austin Reaves, is confirmed to be rated 100 overall in NBA 2K—the first 100 overall since Shaq in 2K2. However, a reader-added context also included in that post by X confirms that James is a 96 overall in NBA 2K25.
NBA fans were surprised by this leaked news and expressed their opinions in the comment section of that post. One fan said, “That’s impossible…. This dude is like mediocre at best from the FT Line.”
Meanwhile, another fan reacted, “100 overall at age 39 is wild.”

LeBron James’ Stellar Performances at the 2024 Paris Olympics
Team USA has demonstrated why they are considered the most successful team in international competition. Alongside star players like Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, LeBron James has delivered back-to-back remarkable performances.
In the first game against Serbia, James had the opportunity to seek revenge against Nikola Jokic, who had eliminated James and the Lakers from the first round of the 2023-24 NBA playoffs. He finished the game with 21 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds. In the second game against South Sudan, which had given tough competition to Team USA in an exhibition game, James scored 12 points, five assists, and seven rebounds. However, in the third game against Puerto Rico, James finished with 10 points, eight assists, and six rebounds.
The next match for James and Team USA is against Brazil in the quarterfinals, set for August 7th.
