Most Honorable Mention: Dimitrios Katsivelis So I’d like to give quick shout-outs to guys who I considered but ultimately failed to make the cut. Tragically, there are simply too many basketball players in the universe to recognize. My one guarantee: you have not tried everyone on this list. There is no positional criteria my game relies on a lot of running and gunning, drive-and-kick three-pointers, and that is reflected in the ranking. Some of these guys are my personal “hacks”, while others have been used by my competitors to wipe me off the virtual court. I’ll be listing the player and their career in the games, as well as their peak season, corresponding team and rating.

While the franchise continues to tease the ratings of superstars for players and fans to berate, I anxiously await the reveal of basketball’s less-hyped players.
