NBA 2K21: 10 Best Sapphire Cards and Rank Them

The NBA 2K21 MyTeam mode allows people to build dream lineups consisting of players from the NBA's past and present. With so many cards to choose from, which cards happen to be the best of the best? Now, let's look at the 10 best sapphire cards who will help players dominate the court, and rank them.

Russell Westbrook (86)

Russell Westbrook is undoubtedly one of the best players on his day, but has missed some time due to injury, and starts the playoffs on injured reserve. His 27.2 PPG is his highest scoring output in the three years, but he hasn't quite captured as many triple-doubles.

Westbrook was a much better shooter, point guard, and playmaker for his team. His sapphire shows off what Westbrook does best as it has great speed and athleticism across the board.

Pascal Siakam (86)

A couple of years ago most basketball fans didn't even know who Pascal Siakam was. Now, he's the best player on a championship contender. Siakam has the skill set to dominate on both ends of the floor and has embraced his leadership role with the Toronto Raptors right away. He's still pretty young and has all it takes to win another NBA Championship even if he's not surrounded by another superstar.

Siakam is still not quite a superstar yet, but his 86 overall card shows he's on the right track. The sapphire-colored collectible is a jack-of-all-trades with none of the ratings being jaw-dropping, but it also has no real weaknesses at all.

Jimmy Butler (86)

Considering how Jimmy Butler turned the Miami Heat around with his leadership on and off the court, he definitely deserves an upgrade on his NBA 2K21 rating. Butler continues to be one of the peskiest, most suffocating defenders in the league and he continues to blossom as a creator. His hard-nosed leadership meshed perfectly with the Heat's personnel and he turned them into a dark horse in the Eastern Conference.

Butler has never been a fantastic ballhandler, and though his sapphire card reflects that, it still comes with great defensive attributes that hoist it up to the 86 overall.

Walt Frazier '72 (86)

With the 6'4 Walt Frazier being number 4th thanks to his career averages of 18.9 points, 5.9 boards, 1.9 steals, and 6.1 dishes per game, a 2 time NBA Champion, 7-time All-Star, and 7-time All-Defensive first squad as well.

Playing for the Knicks and the Cavs, he's mostly remembered for his New York tenure, where he almost single-handedly led the team to a couple of O'Brien trophies. Up to this date, he's still the all-time franchise leader in dimes, and he was one of the most dominant point guards in both ends of the floor during his prime in the Big Apple.

Donovan Mitchell (86)

Donovan Mitchell is Utah Jazz's young playmaker. Alongside his All-Star center Rudy Gobert, the two managed to take an injured Utah Jazz lineup and make some noise in the NBA Playoffs in 2020.

Mitchel is a high-flying guard who has developed a consistent 3-point shot and his ball-handling skills are getting better every year. If a player is looking for a guard that can post highlights in NBA 2K21, they might want to snag Mitchell's sapphire card in MyTeam.

Jayson Tatum (86)

Jayson Tatum break out as one of the most promising two-way players in the league and has now become the ultimate leader for the revamped and renewed Boston Celtics.

Tatum works best in lineups where he can move around and play like a big guard, so don't put him in expecting LeBron James at the small forward position. He's the perfect player to build a franchise around, both in real life and in videogames.

Chris Paul (86)

Chris Paul's career resurgence with the Oklahoma City Thunder is something to behold. The veteran is surrounded by young potential and has found his groove again leading the team to success.

On top of being one of the greatest point guards in the NBA the last decade, Paul has been a model of consistency and leadership on and off the court. Paul's 86 overall sapphire card is a must-own for anyone looking for a pure playmaking point guard for their team.

Robert Horry '08 (86)

Known for hitting clutch 3-pointers, Robert Horry played with the San Antonio Spurs from 2003-08. He won seven NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, and Houston Rockets. Horry collected his seventh championship as a member of the Spurs in 2007. He retired a year later, and at the time of his retirement, he was the all-time leader in playoff games played with 244 games (currently he sits at the third position behind Derek Fisher and Tim Duncan). Horry has regular-season career averages of 7.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.

Horry was a great role player who could be a reliable third scorer on a team or even provide energy off the bench. His sapphire card pairs as a dynamic duo with the lock-down defender Bruce Bowen's ruby card, as well.

Chris Bosh '12 (86)

Chris Bosh wasn't just a third wheel to LeBron James and Dwayne Wade. The 11-time All-Star and two-time champion was racking up 19.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. Bosh was a walking double with a 99.5% probability of being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Sadly, his bright career was cut short due to health complications.

His 86 overall sapphire card from the Finals theme in NBA 2K21's MyTeam is a solid rebounder and can do more than opponents may expect from outside the paint when it comes to scoring.

Trae Young (86)

Trae Young is an emerging star guard for the Atlanta Hawks. He is only 21 years of age and he leads all point guards in points per game with 29.6. The Atlanta Hawks are a very sub-par team and it is obvious that they are rebuilding. Young is the glue that will hold the Hawks together for the years to come. He's a cornerstone player that Hawks will mold their team around.

Everyone who plays NBA 2K knows that each of their friends likes to play the game a bit differently. Some prefer an old school slow pace while others love to hoist shots from the 3-point line. Those who relate to the latter are the perfect people to pursue Trae Young's sapphire card.
