Magic Johnson
98 OVR
When you are asked to name the best player in History of Los Angeles Lakers, I believe it will be difficult for you to choose, because there is more than one best player. As I just said, this team has cultivated many legends and helped NBA become a league that basketball fans all over the world are celebrating. But in Lakers, one player that must be mentioned is Earvin Magic Johnson. This player with gorgeous passing and perfect passing methods has also won the title of Magician given to him by fans.
In NBA 2K25, besides the total score of 98 points, there are also 99 Intangibles, 98 Potential, 97 Playmaking, 93 Outside Scoring, 93 Athleticism, 87 Inside Scoring, 85 Defending and 82 Rebounding. These attributes also contributed to his total of 27 badges in the game, including 4 Hall of Fame badges, 21 Gold badges and 2 Silver badges.
Kobe Bryant
98 OVR
Speaking of the Lakers, another player that must be mentioned is Kobe Bryant, who has unfortunately passed away. His sword, hard work and super competitiveness on the court made many fans admire and love him. Although he is no longer on the court he loves, his contribution to Lakers and even NBA is indelible.
In NBA 2K25, although he did not get the highest rating of 99 points, many of his attributes are among the best among all players, such as 98 Potential, 93 Outside Scoring, 88 Playmaking, 87 Athleticism, 85 Intangibles, 83 Defending, 80 Inside Scoring, and 50 Rebounding. In addition, in this video game, Kobe Bryant has 34 badges, which are relatively high among all players. Among them, 8 are Hall of Fame badges, 20 are Gold badges, 5 are Silver badges, and the last one is Bronze badge.
Shaquille O’Neal
98 OVR
Although Shaquille O’Neal has played for different teams many times in his career, it is agreed that his most glorious period was during his time with Los Angeles Lakers.
Shaquille O’Neal joined the Lakers, which was not very good during his peak period, and used his excellent skills and tall stature to help the Lakers rebuild. The beginning of the new millennium is also the beginning of the purple and gold era of Lakers. His attributes are very balanced. Except for 59 Playmaking, the rest are about 80-90, such as 98 Rebounding, 98 Potential, 92 Inside Scoring, 91 Athleticism, 85 Defending. If you use NBA 2K25 MT Coins to get him, you will definitely win a lot of games with these attributes.
Shaquille O’Neal has 19 badges in NBA 2K25, including 11 Hall of Fame badges, 7 Gold badges, and 1 Silver badge.
Jerry West
97 OVR
Although Jerry West is not the highest-rated Lakers player in NBA 2K25, he has made it onto the official NBA logo with his own honors. The death of this football superstar has made many basketball fans of a certain age very sad, but fortunately, they can still see him on the court again in this virtual video game.
His excellent ability to organize offense has allowed him to score many very key goals in his career, and he is also nicknamed Mr. Key by many fans. However, among the various attributes presented in NBA 2K25, Rebounding and Inside Scoring are Jerry West’s weaknesses, and you can consider this aspect more when choosing a lineup.
Apart from these two, the rest of the attributes are very good, such as 99 Intangibles, 97 Potential, 94 Outside Scoring and 93 Playmaking. This is why he has 30 badges in the game. But unlike Kobe, he only has 3 Hall of Fame badges, the majority of which are Gold badges, with 25, and the remaining two are Silver badges.
Elgin Baylor
96 OVR
Although Elgin Baylor has never won a championship with Los Angeles Lakers, this does not affect his status as one of the greatest players in Lakers, because he has created the strongest scoring ability in the history of NBA. So even if he does not have a very outstanding honor, his total score has reached 96 points.
Not only that, all the attributes of Elgin Baylor are very balanced, even terrible, and have always remained above 80 points: 96 Potential, 95 Rebounding, 93 Outside Scoring, 92 Athleticism, 88 Inside Scoring, 86 Defending, 83 Intangibles and 81 Playmaking. This overly balanced attribute is not common in NBA 2K25.
Although he only has 22 badges in this game, I believe you can definitely maximize Elgin Baylor’s ability, and your team will definitely be more powerful with him.
LeBron James
96 OVR
In fact, there are both good and bad reviews for LeBron James, but it is undeniable that he is also one of the greatest players in the history of the Lakers. During his time with the club, the Lakers won a very important NBA championship, and LeBron James set a lot of NBA records, some of which have not been broken until now.
But even such a powerful player, his Rebounding is also a little flawed, with only 67 points in NBA 2K25. But don’t worry, his 96 Potential, 91 Athleticism, 89 Playmaking, 89 Inside Scoring and 85 Outside Scoring can temporarily ignore this defect.
This also indirectly led to him having 44 badges in NBA 2K25! Among these large number of badges, there are 4 Hall of Fame badges, 15 Gold badges, 13 Silver badges and 12 Bronze badges. Many players felt incredible after learning about the number of his badges, which was really a bit too average.
The above are the ratings of some Lakers basketball stars in NBA 2K25. I hope you can win more basketball games with their help and have fun in this brand new video game!
