NBA 2K11 by EA Sports will drop next Tuesday, October 5. Thanks to Operation Sports and Jason Kirk of SB Nation Atlanta, we have the overall team ratings of the game. As expected, the two-time defending champion Lakers are the top overall team, including a somewhat-surprising top-rated defense. The Clippers rank 28th out of 30 teams:
| Team | Overall | Offense | Defense |
| Lakers | 1st | 3rd | 1st |
| Clippers | 28th | 23rd | 26th |
Kobe Bryant has an individual rating of 97, out of a possible 99, tied with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat for the top rating in the league. Pau Gasol has an 89 rating, while Ron Artest rates a 79.
Baron Davis is the top-rated member of the Clippers with a 79 rating, followed closely by Chris Kaman with 78, and Blake Griffin with a 76 rating.
The full team ratings are below the jump.
