Numbers are a big deal to NBA fans. Who’s leading the league in assists? Who’s got the best PER? How about plus/minus? From the biggest stars to the lowliest bench players, the digits don’t lie.

NBA videogames love numbers too—especially NBA 2K Mobile. The slick simulation is all about maximizing your team by unlocking the best players. What’s the optimal starting five? Based on their top-tier Amethyst card ratings, these pros rule the league:

Kyrie Irving
Position: PG
Amethyst rating: 2,826


A fearless finisher with perhaps the best handles in the league, the new face of the New Jersey Nets outshines the likes of Steph Curry and Damian Lillard to capture the top PG spot.

James Harden
Position: SG
Amethyst rating: 2,887

Having bombed his way to the highest single-season points per game total in over 30 years, the bearded one easily steps back into the spotlight as the top two guard.

LeBron James
Position: SF
Amethyst rating: 2,947


The GOAT? That’s a debate we won’t wade into, but suffice to say, LeBron remains a franchise cornerstone and an absolute no-brainer in the small forward slot.

Anthony Davis
Position: PF
Amethyst rating: 2,846


LeBron’s new teammate ain’t too shabby either. The Brow’s combination of size, speed, and range makes him a nearly unstoppable force.

Nikola Jokic
Position: C
Amethyst rating: 2,841

Denver’s stat-stuffing, multitalented big man can do it all—pass, shoot, rebound, and control the court.
