Predicting the top 10 All-Time Teams in NBA 2K22

#6 All-Time Houston Rockets

The James Harden and Dwight Howard combo did not work in the 2015 NBA playoffs. But if you replace Howard with Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon, things might look different.

The All-Time Houston Rockets not only have former MVPs Harden (96) and Olajuwon (98), but also have Clyde Drexler (93), Yao Ming (92), Tracy McGrady (92) and Moses Malone (97). Malone, Ming and Olajuwon would dominate the paint, unlike any combo of centers we have seen, while T-Mac, Drexler and the Beard would control the perimeter.

It is truly a star-studded lineup, with no player rated less than 92, and it is so stacked that even Chris Paul comes off the bench, despite having a 90 rating. The team also features Hall of Famers - Calvin Murphy, Rudy Tomjanovich, Ralph Samson and Elvin Hayes.

This team is also the only way a gamer can play with Kenny 'The Jet' Smith, one of the current hosts of Inside the NBA on TNT.

#5 All-Time OKC Thunder

The All-Time OKC Thunder is so good that James Harden doesn't even make this list. Sure, this team probably won't be one of the highest-rated teams in NBA 2K22, but the collective talent is too great to miss.

They don't have a 99 or 98-rated player, but have four players over 95 in the starting lineup. A 97-rated Kevin Durant leads this team and a 95-rated Russell Westbrook, Ray Allen and Gary Payton. Shawn Kemp is the center with a 90 rating, although many believe his rating should be higher.

Jack Sikma and Paul George come off the bench with 90 and 93 ratings, respectively. This team features some premier three-point shooters like Durant, George and Allen. Even Westbrook and Payton can occasionally knock it down from beyond the arc. With this kind of offensive firepower, it will be extremely tough to beat this team, as they would constantly rain down threes.

#4 All-Time San Antonio Spurs

The Tim Duncan era in San Antonio saw the Spurs win five NBA titles, out which three came in a span of five years.

Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker are one of the best trios in the league, and they have been to five NBA Finals together. Now add a 95-rated George Gervin and a 96-rated David Robinson to the starting lineup along with a 95-rated Kawhi Leonard. This team becomes one of the most unstoppable ones in NBA 2K22, no matter who you play against.

Tim Duncan is 99-rated in this team, and Tony Parker is rated 94. Just like Charles Barkley, 2K Sports didn't have the license to use Manu Ginobili till NBA 2K20. But that is expected to change as a 90-rated Ginobili might feature in NBA 2K22. Moreover, LaMarcus Aldridge is rated 86, and he comes off the bench, along with Artis Gilmore, Danny Green and Larry Kenon.
