To answer that we gotta take a closer look at some of the contending teams.
(S - Tier) “Milwaukee Bucks” - 99
The bucks has an insanely STACKED cast, And their number one on the call sheet is the
one and only “Greek freak” Giannis’s combination of size, speed, and skill, makes him unlike any regular player in 2k. Giannis’s attributes reflect his real-life play style and his ability to dominate in the paint and stretch the floor. This all just makes him one of the most versatile players in the entire game.
And of course, we can’t forget his incredible team. Players like Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday add layers to the team’s overall strat. KM brings the shooting ability, while Jrue’s defensive mindset balances out the rest of the offensive starpower. So that means when it comes to 2K, you have options, you can rely on Khris for those late-game bucks or use Jrue to lock down your opponent.

(S-Tier) “Boston Celtics” - 98
First we have to acknowledge the roster itself. We got players like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown leading the charge, which in term means the Celtics bring an extremely balanced roster to the mix. In 2K24, their player ratings reflect not only their real-life on court skills but also the game's mechanics. If you’ve played with them, you know they can stretch the floor with their shooting, but what really sets this team apart from the rest of the league is their ability to play LOCK DOWN & Press D.
Plus how dare we forget the front office. I can’t lie head coach Joe Mazzulla has shown alot of improvement, so much so that now the choices he makes IRL can even influence how effectively your games in 2K playout. Whether you like the fast-paced transition game or a slow paced half-court type game, Using’s joe’s vision can elevate your performance. You can even adjust play styles in-game.

(S-Tier) “Golden State Warriors” - 97
Aight I’m gonna start with saying DUB nation is my favorite team so I’ll be a tad bit biased. But back to the team we gotta talk about our star players. First up we got Chef Curry leading the way. With steph you’re looking at one of the most dynamic shooters in the game. His three-point shot is completely UNMATCHED. Pair him up with a healthy, effective Klay , and suddenly, you have the best shooting backcourt to ever do it. In 2K24, the warriors shooting stats are off the charts which makes for an extremely fun, fast-paced style of play.
On the competitive side of things, the Warriors are a constant pain in the ass, their combination of shooting, defense, and versatility means they can compete with virtually any team in the game.

Being a Warriors fan and all, I’m not ashamed to admit that the Clippers have some serious talent. With stars like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George leading the charge, they have a dynamic duo that can change the course of a game in seconds In game both players are designed to reflect their real-life abilities so Kawhi’s lockdown defense and offensive versatility, paired with PG’s playmaking and scoring abilities , They are a seriously dangerous pairing.
What makes the Clippers particularly interesting this year is their depth. The moves the front office made in the offseason added key role players who can really show up depending on their matchup. In game, especially online, utilizing these types of players the right way can really take your game to the next level. Whether it’s Luke Kennard’s shooting or Terance Mann’s defense,these solid secondary rotations gives you mad different options.

First of all let’s just talk about Luka Dončic. The man is an absolute animal In 2K he’s not just another player you can almost feel his presence on the virtual court just as the real one. With his ability to score, facilitate, and crash the boards, Luka is a one of a kind triple-threat, that makes him a go-to option for every play. You can run pick-and-rolls, isolate him on the wing, or even have him dish out assists to open shooters like Tim Hardaway Jr. or Christian Wood.
And let’s not forget about the coaching and team chemistry. In the game, how you set up your plays can make or break your game. Jason Kidd has a knack for maximizing talent, and replicating that in the game can elevate your overall experience. Whether you prefer fast-paced transitions or methodical half-court sets, the Mavs can adapt to whatever style suits your fancy.

(A-Tier) “Miami Heat”
With Jimmy Butler at the forefront he remains a major piece for the team. His ability to score, defend, and facilitate makes him a go-to player in 2K24. Pair him with another star in Bam Adebayo, who’s not just a defensive, rebounding beast but can also add playmaking from the center position, These two make the one of the best BIG 2’s in the entire game.
The supporting cast is also hella crucial. Guys like Tyler Herro and Kyle Lowry add depth, other scoring options and slight veteran leadership. When they step up their game, especially in crunch time, the Heat become a real big problem online.

You can't talk about the 76ers without mentioning Joel Embiid. In game, Embiid is a beast. His skill set makes him dominant in both the paint and mid-range, which gives players a lot of scoring options. Pair him with James Harden, who brings his playmaking ability and crafty scoring, and you have a duo that can lead your virtual squad to victory.
Don’t sleep on their “supporting cast” either, Tyrese Maxey has shown an insane amount of growth. In 2K and IRL alike, he’s not just the third option but a rising star with the potential to take over games. His speed and shooting make him a solid choice for fast breaks. Players like Tobias Harris add depth, providing scoring and defensive schemes that can keep the offenses on their toes.

Now we’re gonna talk about the Ja Morant led Grizzlies. 12 is a young superstar, His combination of speed, agility, and finishing at the rim can’t be touched., Ja’s attributes in game are actually made to reflect his real-life explosiveness,
Ja’s ability to slice through defenses creates mad opportunities for his other teammates, more notably Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr.
Speaking of which, Desmond Bane has submerged himself as a pivotal shooting guard, showing incredible perimeter shooting, which serves as the perfect complement to JA’s explosiveness in the paint, and Jaren Jackson Jr represents the team's defensive backbone.

(B-Tier) “Cleveland Cavaliers” - 96
The Cavs are a young team, which makes them extremely exciting to use. With Donovan Mitchell leading the charge, they have a scorer who can dominate both the inside and outside. Pair 'em with the young star in the making in Darius Garland who is not just a playmaker but also a shooting threat, and you’ve got a backcourt that can light up the scoreboard.
(B-Tier) “Los Angeles Lakers” - 96
The lakers are a pretty fun squad, with Bron still doing his thing and AD anchoring the front line, the Lakers are stacked with talent. In NBA 2K24, that translates to some serious firepower. You’ve got Bron’s court vision and IQ combined with AD’s dominant presence in the paint.’
(B-Tier) “Phoenix Suns” - 94
With two All-stars in Devin Booker and KD leading the charge, you've got solid guys who can score in heaps. What’s also great is their versatility. Devin’s ability to score at will from anywhere on the court combined with Kevin’s length and skill makes for a nightmare matchup for any team.
Now we can answer the question, which team is the best and which team is the worst?
Well in my personal opinion, if i’m going off how each team plays, and then in game stats and data.
And not just the fact that I love the warriors!!
I would have to say the strongest team is the:
(Strongest) : “Milwaukee Bucks” - 99
Whether you're trying to build a dynasty in MyLeague or playing your best friend in online head to head, the Bucks have what it takes to come out on top. They put straight star power, depth, and smart gameplay into a package that just screams "championship."
Now that we got the strongest team out of the way, I think the weakest team from this list in NBA 2k24 would have to be:
(Weakest): “Cleveland Cavaliers” - 96
When you look at their roster, there are most definitely some solid players, no question. Buttt compared to some other teams like the Bucks or the Warriors, they just don’t have the same star power. And don't get me wrong, while I do believe SPIDA is a great player, I just don’t think he can carry a team all by himself every single game. Also, let’s just be real for a sec in the NBA, depth matters. If one of your key guys goes down with an injury or has an off night, who steps up? That's where the Cavs seem to fall a little short.
