Steph Curry is once again sitting on top of the NBA 2K world, snagging a 99 rating for 3-point shooting in the upcoming NBA 2K27. This annual unveiling of the game ratings is always an early sign that hoops season is almost here, and for Curry, it is business as usual.
The Arc King Still Reigns Supreme
Curry’s 99 rating isn’t just the best from beyond the arc, it blows away the competition. He’s a full five points better than the next guy on the list, Charlotte Hornets sophomore Kon Knuppel, who comes in at 94. Rounding out the top five are Duncan Robinson from Detroit, Luke Kennard from Phoenix, and Portland’s own Damian Lillard. It really shows how far ahead Curry is in the shooting game.
A Decade of Dominance and a Recent Dip
What’s truly wild is this marks his tenth straight game carrying a 99 rating from long distance, a streak that started all the way back with 2K16. Curry has only been rated under 92 twice in his entire history with the game, his lowest coming in his rookie season for NBA 2K10. But here’s the kicker: last season, Curry played 43 games and shot 39.3% from deep. That’s his lowest mark since 2022, and he has only dipped below 40% from beyond the arc three times in his career. Even with that slight dip, the game still acknowledges his undisputed reign.
So, get ready to fire up those consoles and launch some virtual threes. With ratings like these, it truly feels like hoops season is just around the corner.
