As someone who has followed basketball for decades and witnessed the evolution of the game, I must say that this year’s NBA roster is nothing short of astounding. The diversity, talent, and potential in these teams are truly inspiring.
In a recent update, NBA 2K25 has revealed the December player ratings adjustments for the 2024-25 season, highlighting key modifications to reflect the ongoing developments within the league. This month’s top modifications include Giannis Antetokounmpo, Victor Wembanyama, and Ja Morant, who have all seen their ratings increase due to exceptional gameplay.
These modifications underscore not just the continued supremacy of seasoned stars, such as Antetokounmpo, but also the emergence of upcoming talents, like Wembanyama, and the comeback of prominent figures, including Morant. The latest December evaluations offer a fresh perspective on how these players are influencing their teams’ achievements on the court.
Giannis Antetokounmpo rises to 98 overall
The impressive run by Giannis Antetokounmpo has boosted his NBA 2K25 total score to 98, making him equal with Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets for the highest rating in the game. It’s Antetokounmpo’s performances that have played a significant role in the Milwaukee Bucks’ recovery following a sluggish start to their season.
The Milwaukee Bucks, initially struggling with a 2-8 record, have since climbed up to 11-10, placing them fifth in the Eastern Conference. In their recent successful streak of 9 wins against just 2 losses, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been phenomenal, averaging an impressive 34.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 1.7 blocks per game while maintaining a remarkable 62.3% shooting accuracy from the court.
During the current season, he’s scoring an average of 32.6 points, grabbing 11.6 rebounds, dishing out 6.6 assists, and blocking 1.3 shots per game with a remarkable 61.6% success rate in field goal attempts. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s consistent performance on offense and defense has cemented his status as one of the league’s elite players, leading to this ratings upgrade.
Victor Wembanyama climbs to 92 overall
In his second year on the San Antonio Spurs team, forward Victor Wembanyama has been nothing short of remarkable, guiding them to an 11-10 season start. Over the past seven matches, the Spurs have managed to win five games, with Wembanyama’s versatile abilities as a two-way player taking center stage.
As a gamer putting on the virtual court this season, I’m consistently delivering an average of 23.5 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 3.4 blocks, and 1.3 steals per game. Recently though, my game has been on fire! Over the last 10 games, I’ve been stepping it up to 27.6 points, 10.9 rebounds, and a whopping 4.6 assists per game. On top of that, I’m sinking 50.7% of my shots from the field and an impressive 40% from beyond the arc!
In the NBA 2K25 simulation, Wembanyama’s exceptional displays have earned him an increased overall rating of 92. He has been a pivotal figure in the narrative of the San Antonio team during the early part of the season, as he develops into a cornerstone player.
Ja Morant moves up to 91 overall
The resurgence of Ja Morant’s performance has been crucial for the Memphis Grizzlies, who at present boast a 14-8 record and are ranked fourth in the Western Conference. After being out for most of the previous season due to suspension and injuries, Morant has swiftly regained his role as a key player for his team.
Over their last ten matches (7 wins, 3 losses), Morant has consistently delivered impressive stats: 21.8 points, 9.1 assists, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game, all while maintaining a field goal accuracy of 46%. This season, his average performance stands at a career-best 22 points, 8.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and one steal per game, accompanied by an outstanding field goal percentage of 46.8%.
Boosting his NBA 2K25 total score by one point to 91, Morant’s outstanding performance has certainly been acknowledged. His leadership and skillful playmaking have significantly contributed to Memphis’ victories.
