NBA 2K23 PF ratings: Here are the best power forwards for 2023, from Giannis Antetokounmpo to Kevin Durant image

Of all the 2K ratings debates out there, the argument for the best power forward in the game might be the strongest.

With the release of NBA 2K23 upon us, who claimed the crown as the best power forward in the league?

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant each have a case, as the two otherworldly talents dominate the NBA in their own ways.

When the ratings updates closed in NBA 2K22, Antetokounmpo (97 OVR) just narrowly edged Durant (96 OVR) for the top spot. After another deep playoff run, you would think Antetokounmpo remained the top-rated power forward in the game, but is it possible that Durant surpassed him?

Below, you can find the highest-rated players at the position below.

NBA 2K23 PF ratings: Who are the highest rated power forwards?

Giannis Antetokounmpo is not only the highest-rated power forward in 2K, but he is the highest-rated player in the entire game. Kevin Durant is right behind him, while Jayson Tatum has taken over the No. 3 spot after a run to the NBA Finals.

While this is the third straight year Antetokounmpo enters with at least a share of top honors, this is the first time he enters as the undisputed best player in the game. In 2K22 he was a 96, tied with Durant, Stephen Curry and LeBron James. In 2K21, he entered a 97, tied with James.
