NBA 2K19: The top 5 highest-rated players

#3 James Harden - (Overall Rating - 96)

There is no stopping James Harden on the offensive end

The reigning NBA MVP is the third highest-rated star in NBA 2K19. He led the Rockets to the best record in the NBA last season and fell just one game shy of winning the Conference finals.

Harden absolutely dominated in the 2017-18 season. He averaged 30.4 points, 8.8 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game, 44.9% from the field and 36.7% from three-point range during the course of the entire season.

He combined greatly with Chris Paul and Clint Capela to win 65 games in the regular season for the Houston Rockets.

Harden has mastered the art of drawing fouls and hitting the step back threes. He is having a historic 2018-19 season averaging 36.6 points per game and is the runaway leader for the NBA MVP award. Harden looks set to hold onto his place in the next edition of this series also.
