NBA 2K21 has announced some player ratings adjustments in a brand new update. 2K Games is no stranger to making little changes throughout the course of a season. This year, the NBA looks a little different because of coronavirus protocols, but the action has been amazing even with no fans in attendance. Some of the most interesting changes announced in this rankings update have to deal with the league’s top performers getting a small knock down. Both Finals MVP LeBron James and reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo both lost one point to their overall rankings. Newly christened Brooklyn Net James Harden also lost 1 point overall. James’ running mate and Defensive Player of the Year hopeful Anthony Davis also lost a spot. But, the big men are getting a boost with crafty passing Nikola Jokic and dominant pivot man Joel Embiid both getting a nudge.
