Each of these NBA stars has impressive resumes. Garnett, now retired from his playing days, won the NBA MVP Award with Minnesota and an NBA Championship with Boston. Garnett averaged 17.8 points, 10 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.4 blocks per game over his 20-year career. He was a 14-time All-Star and currently sits at No. 17 in all-time points with 26,071 scored.
George is still adding to his resume, but so far he’s been an early MVP contender based on how he’s propelled OKC into the top three teams in the West. He’s had some impressive scoring performance this season too. In fact, about two weeks ago NBA 2K rewarded gamers with a Paul George Diamond card for a 47-point performance. He currently holds a 90 overall in the game, based on a recent 2K19 player ratings update.
