What makes King of the Court so special for Meleek Thomas?

The King of the Court tournament is not your typical basketball competition. There’s no passing or team play — it’s a pure 1-on-1 battle where players have to rely on their abilities to score and defend. It’s a test of who’s got the skills, and for someone like Meleek Thomas, it was the perfect opportunity to shine.

In this environment, players can't hide behind team tactics. You have to create your own shot, defend on your own, and prove you’re the better player. And that’s exactly what Thomas did, dominating in a way that made it look easy.

If one has ever played NBA 2K, that person would know the excitement of creating an unstoppable player. That’s what Thomas looked like and had fans buzzing with his flashy dribble moves, step-back jumpers and relentless drives to the rim.

According to Sports Illustrated, Meleek Thomas is one of the most complete guards in the 2025 recruiting class.

He’s often compared to NBA stars like Kyrie Irving for his smooth ball-handling and Stephen Curry for his shooting touch. Thomas has the kind of versatility that coaches love — he can score from anywhere on the court, make plays for others, and lock down defensively when needed.
