LeBron James
He’s the best player in basketball and he’s also the best player in NBA LIVE 16. King James can do it all on the court. He’s an athletic beast (95 Strength, 95 Vertical, 94 Stamina) and can throw down some of the best slams with his 95 Dunk rating. James will consistently shut down ball-handlers too with his 97 On-Ball D. Be sure to perform a signature chase-down block with his 95 Speed and 81 Block rating.
Kevin Durant
KD may be the best scoring threat in the NBA, and his ratings reflect that. His 97 Close Range, 94 Mid Range and 90 Long Range Ability, as well as his 98 Off-The-Dribble, are the best in his position group. Guarded shots are no problem for Durant either, with a 98 Contested Shot rating. When the game is on the line, dish it out to KD and his 94 Clutch Shooting rating.
Carmelo Anthony
Melo is very effective in the post, coming in with a 93 Post Offense (top ranked SF) and 83 Post Defense rating. He’s a strong player (90 Strength) who can score in the paint (90 Close Range, 89 Layup) and when fouled (93 Score With Contact).
Paul George
Paul George is one of the best defenders at his position with a 93 On-Ball D rating. But his talents stretch far beyond defense. George is a scoring threat (86 Layup, 90 Score With Contact) and can throw down some of the best dunks too (91 Dunk).
Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard is one of the most versatile players at his position. Known for his dominant defense, he has 86 Post Defense, 91 Help Defense and 95 On Ball D rating. He’ll definitely grab some steals too with his 92 Steal rating.
