According to Ronnie 2K, in a post on X, Bronny James will be a 68 overall in NBA2K25. That makes him the 48th-highest rookie in this year’s 2K video game.

Fans didn’t know if he would be in the 50’s, 60’s, or in the beginning stages of 70’s. For those wondering, his teammate, Dalton Knecht, was given a 70 overall. Also, the highest-rated rookie is Zaccharie Risacher, who is a 75 overall.

From a positive perspective, Bronny is only seven overall behind the former first-overall pick. It’s not a bad rating; however, it’s not a rating everyone will be jumping up and down to play with.

Back in the middle of May, Bronny was asked what his overall should be in the upcoming 2K25 game. His response?

“I feel like I deserve a respectable 81,” Bronny said, making the 2K and the basketball community very livid. For LeBron James’ son, he needs to subtract thirteen from the original answer, and he’ll be spot on.
