Leonard is tied for the fifth-best rating in the game’s current-player roster along with Anthony Davis, and cover star Giannis Antetokounmpo. Only Stephen Curry (95), James Harden (96), Kevin Durant (97) and LeBron James (98) are ahead.

Former Raptor DeMar DeRozan, the man who was traded to the San Antontio Spurs to acquire Leonard, comes in at an 89, tied for the second-best shooting guard rating among current players.

The best players in the entire game come from its all-time rosters with the 1992-93, 1995-96 and all-time Chicago Bulls versions of Michael Jordan, all-time Milwaukee Bucks Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, all-time Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat James and all-time Los Angeles Lakers Magic Johnson all rated a perfect 99.
