The newest installment in the venerable “NBA 2K” series, “NBA 2K25,” has been released, providing fans with a great way to pass the time over the final stretch of the offseason. Fans and even players are taking their controllers and using their favorite teams as the action-packed excitement of the 2024–25 season approaches in just a few more weeks.
Kevin Durant, who adorned the cover of “NBA 2K15” and ranks among the top 10 players in the most recent game, has been a devoted follower of the franchise for a long time. Durant mentioned lately that in a 2K25 game, he would surround himself with four players.

Because to his high 3-point shooting percentage, outstanding dribbling, and ease of making shots due to his enormous 7-foot frame, No. 35 has long been one of the most enjoyable characters for fans to employ in the video game. Indeed, he prefers to employ himself over any other participant. KD put together a stellar starting lineup for 2K25 when asked about it, but there was one conspicuous absence.
Without a doubt, Kevin’s 2K25 team would win a lot of games. But where is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the superstar for the Oklahoma City Thunder? After all, he now occupies the Bricktown throne that Durant had occupied. Not to mention that the two-time NBA Finals MVP has frequently publicly professed his admiration for Shai’s style of play, once stating, “You just can’t stop what he’s doing.
Having said that, it’s possible that KD views Klay Thompson and Luka Doncic—two outstanding shooters—as having a better on-court fit than he does Durant, given that Thompson and Durant had a long history together as teammates during their time with the Golden State Warriors. In addition, the former MVP selected Joel Embiid above three-time MVP Jokic, justifying his selection by pointing out that the star of the Philadelphia 76ers has a better 3-point shooting percentage, indicating his preference for a squad that plays on the perimeter.
