    Kyrie Irving Ahead of Steph Curry in Star-Studded NBA Ranking

    By Paolo Mariano,

    19 hours ago

    Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks and Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors remain two of the most electrifying floor generals in the NBA.

    But aside from Irving's insane finishes around the rim and Curry's otherworldly shooting, both guards are also known for their ball-handling.

    In NBA 2K25, set for worldwide release on Sept. 6, Irving has the highest ball-handling rating at 99%, as revealed by the NBA 2K account on X. He is followed by Curry with 97%.

    Also included in the top five are Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks (96%), James Harden of the Los Angeles Clippers (95%) and Irving's teammate Luka Doncic (95%).

    Over the years, NBA 2K ratings have become a big deal for the players as many of them play the highly popular video game.

    Many fans agreed with the top-rated ball-handlers in NBA2K25. But of course, some also pointed out omissions.

    "Luka higher than Shai is laughable," one fan commented, referring to the Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

    LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets was also mentioned.

    "LaMelo got a top 3 handle. This list is crazy inaccurate," the fan said.

    Some, meanwhile, fumed over the inclusions of Harden and Doncic.

    Other players mentioned by fans were Darius Garland of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Paul George of the Philadelphia 76ers and Keyonte George of the Utah Jazz.
