NBA 2K20: Best MyTEAM Cards for the Los Angeles Lakers
Winning 16 NBA championships is no accident. The Los Angeles Lakers have had some crazy talented players for years. Let's take a look at the Los Angeles Lakers' best cards in NBA 2k20 MyTEAM.
Magic Johnson '91 (97)
Imagine growing up in the '80s and '90s as a basketball fan and seeing a guy who looks like a power forward playing the point guard position at a level near the top of the NBA. Magic Johnson not only brought new energy into being a playmaker but showcased that previously manufactured ideas of height dictating position. Unlike other stellar point guard cards, Johnson's 97 overall is a viable rebounder and inside scorer in addition to the other high overall traits that come with being an all-star point guard card.
James Worthy '94 (97)
Lakers shooting forward James Worthy featured in seven seasons in the 80s, between 1983-1989.
James Worthy played an integral role in three NBA Championship wins, including a Finals MVP '88.
It is that 1988 Finals performance which put Worthy down in the history books. With the series with the Pistons tied at three apiece, Worthy showed up with an astonishing triple-double, scoring 36 points, providing 10 assists and putting up 16 rebounds as the Lakers wrapped up the title.
It's clear that James Worthy isn't only worthy of a 97 overall card in MyTeam, but he's also worthy of your time and attention. He was such a good all-around basketball player that had no trouble filling out the stat sheet on a nightly basis.
Elgin Baylor '72 (96)
A huge notable in the scene at the time, Elgin Baylor was one of the leads for the team during their run. Averaging a staggering 27.1 points per game, he also had a monstrous 12.8 rebounds per game and 3.8 assists per game, making him a huge monster to deal with.
Elgin Baylor's 96 overall MyTeam card buts a focus on his outside scoring as he possesses a staggering 98 rating when it comes to shot IQ and, also, is an assassin from mid-range with a 95 rating there. He's a decent finisher in the paint who comes with an impressive ability to rebound the basketball despite only standing at 6'5" on his best days.
Jerry West '72 (96)
Alongside Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West was able to carry the Lakers through a long stretch of domination. During this season, he averaged the highest of his team, with 26.9 points per game, as well as a staggering 9.5 assists. He had a decent 4.6 rebounds on defense, which is quite surprising given the teammates he had at the time.
West was the guy who laid a foundation for white guys to make NBA careers from the 3-point line. He was also one of the earlier prototypes for what the modern game calls "3-and-D" players. West's 97 rated perimeter defense and 95 rated 3-point shot for his 96 overall card are shiny examples of what this label means and how these players can be vital to their teams on every given night.
Magic Johnson '91 (95)
We'll talk about it more in-depth later when we get to Magic Johnson's higher overall MyTeam card, but it surely is astounding what he did to evolve the point guard position during his career. Despite standing at 6'9" Johnson was never known for having the hops to go up and dunk with the best of them at the rim. On the opposite end of that, he also wasn't great at shooting from outside the paint. This 95 overall card is for those looking to get a solid playmaking point guard who can shut down their opponent with stellar defensive ability.
Anthony Davis (95)
We spoke about Anthony Davis' impact in LA being key to their success and boy has he started well.
AD is averaging 26 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 3.2 assists through the first 21 games of the season, collecting this 95 rated card as part of the Moments of the Week squad in week 6. It makes him an automatic rebounding machine and will have you posting up and scoring with ease in the paint.
His rebounding (96 offensive and 95 defensive) and dunking (95 standing and 90 driving) are two of the main keys to his game. His 90 rated defending will help you get those crucial steps. At 93k he doesn't come cheap, but if you have the cash, he's definitely worth it.
Lamar Odom (95)
Lamar Odom is mostly remembered by his time with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he won two back-to-back NBA championships. Odom's NBA career was pretty decent, as he even received a couple of awards, including the Sixth Man of the Year Award in 2011.
He's very much a stretch four that could play in the paint, and take advantage of the perimeter, there's no doubt he'd dominate in today's game since it's pretty much built for guys like him. His 95 overall card from the flash packs gives you an athletic defender who can drive into the paint and handle the ball a lot better than you'd expect from a 6'9" guy not named Magic Johnson.
George Mikan '56 (95)
In fact, George Mikan never played for the Lakers in LA but instead in Minneapolis, where the Lakers were initially based. He was part of the first five championship-winning sides and was named the NBL's Most Valuable Player in 1948. His number 99 jersey has since been honored by the Los Angeles franchise.
Mikan was a big man who wasn't the most athletic guy on the court, but boy did he put forth the effort. His rebounding and defensive efforts show up big on his 95 overall card that also highlights his inside scoring ability and never-ending stamina.
Eddie Jones '08 (94)
Eddie Jones has to be the most talented player. Known for his ability to steal the ball, Jones was a constant menace for those teams who liked to throw the ball around. In his career, the three-time All-Star stole the ball 1,620 times, at an average of 1.7 SPG.
Jones was very much your prototype 3-and-D player who could run point from time to time if need be. His 94 overall card lets people see the product he put out consistently despite never making it to the promised land and getting himself a ring.
Kobe Bryant '03 (94)
Arguably the greatest player to ever don the purple and gold, 'The Black Mamba' simply had to be included in this list.
There wasn't much that Kobe Bryant didn't do during his 20-year career in Los Angeles. With 18 All-Star appearances, five NBA titles, 2 Finals MVPs and one season MVP to his name, it is safe to say his career was rather successful.
His cards in MyTeam are pretty tough to get your hands on, and this 94 overall card from the Prime V.I.P. series is no different. The card features many of the high overall attributes you'd expect, but unfortunately, video games will never be able to truly capture the competitive spirit he exuded and the passion he brought to the world.
