The best players in NBA 2K26 have been revealed. Has Nikola Jokic kept the top spot, or will Shai Gilgeous-Alexander displace him?

Will Nikola Jokic encounter Giannis or Luka in the European championship tournament this summer? First, he has to make it through a group with Alperen Sengun and Kristaps Porzingis.

The three-time NBA MVP is a seven-time All-Star, who won championship and Finals MVP in 2023. Jokić also led the Serbian national team to a silver Olympic medal in 2016 and a bronze in Paris last summer. That said, according to DeMarcus Cousins, an all-time great NBA center in his own right, Jokic “don’t give a f--k about” basketball.

NBA 2K26 will be released on Sept. 5, with pre-orders having begun on July 9 and early access attainable on Aug. 29. That said, the top-rated players were unveiled by NBA 2K's X handle on Thursday morning.

Nuggets center Nikola Jokic drew strong praise from his Serbian teammate and current Clippers guard Bogdan Bogdanovic.
