NBA 2K fans were left outraged after the gaming platform released the list of top 10 players in 3-point ratings for NBA 2K26. In the ranking released by the NBA basketball simulation game platform, Steph Curry grabbed the top spot with a 99 rating.

Curry was followed by Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Desmond Bane and others. However, Anthony Edwards' ranking drew heat from the fans as Ant-Man was ranked 10th on the list.

Last season, the Minnesota Timberwolves star led the league in total 3-pointers made and was only behind Curry in average 3-pointers made.

The list didn't get much protest from the fans. However, it was notable to find a mid-range maestro like Kawhi Leonard being ranked out of the top 10.

The NBA 2K26 will be officially released on Sep. 5 later this year.
