The mutual respect between the two rivals, like LeBron James and Stephen Curry has been a sight for sore eyes. The two superstars battled against each other in four consecutive NBA Finals from 2015 to 2018, an NBA record. Curry won three of those four matchups but James' one victory in 2016 spoiled the former's historic 73-9 and unanimous MVP season. Despite all their intense matchups fighting for championships, the two share a natural chemistry and respect for each other's game.
NBA 2K22 is just around the corner and everyone is hyped up for the new rosters and fresh ratings. Players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant, Curry and James are expected to have some of the highest ratings, and when Curry's rating was revealed as 96, LeBron James responded on twitter suggesting it should be 99.
Stephen Curry and LeBron James were the two highest rated players in NBA 2K21 with both rated at 97. James' rating started off at 98 at the game launch but due to his ankle injury and subsequent absence, it fell to 97. On the other hand, Curry started the game with a 95 rating but he went berserk last season en route to winning the scoring title so his rating increased to 97.
The two talismans are expected to be on top of the ratings in NBA 2K22 as well and one shouldn't be surprised if Stephen Curry eventually improves his rating up to 99 with his on-court wizardry.
