After winning his third regular-season MVP award in four seasons, Nikola Jokic has earned a virtual accolade.

The Nuggets All-Star center on Monday received the highest overall rating — a 97 — in the upcoming “NBA 2K25” video game. It’s the second straight year in which he’s received that distinction.

Jokic’s score is slightly down from the 98 he had for “NBA 2K24.” It’s the sixth consecutive year in which he has reached the 90 mark in the initial ratings. He had initial 90 overall scores in the 2K20 and 2K21 editions of the game. He had a 95 in 2K22 and 96 in 2K23.

Dallas guard Luka Doncic and Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo also received 97 overall ratings but were ranked Nos. 2 and 3, respectively. Rounding out the top 10 are Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (96), 76ers center Joel Embiid (96), Lakers forward LeBron James (95), Warriors guard Stephen Curry (95), Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (95), Suns forward Kevin Durant (94) and Lakers big man Anthony Davis (94).

Denver guard Jamal Murray (87) is ranked No. 38. He is the only other Nuggets player listed in the top 50. Celtics guard and Colorado native Derrick White (86) is No. 44 on the list.

“NBA 2K25” is slated for a Sept. 6 release date for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
