In this article, we dive into the top centers in NBA 2K25 MyTeam for Season 2. Whether you're looking for the best defensive anchors, dominant inside scorers, or even stretch bigs to space the floor, this guide has you covered. We'll cover high-tier options, some budget-friendly choices, and what makes each center unique on the court. Let's start with a breakdown of the top contenders and where they stand in the meta.

Inside Centers vs. Stretch Bigs: The State of Centers in MyTeam

Before we dive into the rankings, it's essential to discuss the general landscape of centers in NBA 2K25. In Season 2, inside centers—those who dominate in the paint—are generally harder to use effectively compared to stretch bigs who can shoot from beyond the arc. While inside players like Wilt Chamberlain and Shaquille O'Neal can still make a big impact with their size and strength, the ability to stretch the floor has become increasingly valuable in the MyTeam meta.

B-Tier Centers: Strong But Not Dominant

Let's start with some of the B-tier centers that can still hold their own in the current MyTeam environment. These players might not dominate like the top-tier options, but they offer solid all-around performances.

• Wilt Chamberlain (B-Tier): Wilt is a classic powerhouse in the paint. With great speed and defensive badges, he can be an absolute monster when it comes to rebounding and protecting the rim. However, his inside-focused style of play makes him tougher to use effectively, especially against opponents who exploit the lack of shooting. You need to know how to take advantage of his inside scoring and mashing to get the best out of Wilt.

• Shaquille O'Neal (B-Tier): Shaq is another inside force but doesn’t quite offer the flexibility of some other options. While he is unstoppable near the rim, his lack of shooting makes him less versatile in the current meta. Shaq is great if you can consistently score in the paint, but for those looking for a more balanced center, there may be better options.

• Ronnie Sley (B-Tier): Ronnie is a bit of a sleeper pick. He offers good speed and interior presence, but what holds him back is his release, which can be tough to time. With a 73-point rating, he can stretch the floor occasionally but don’t expect consistent shooting. His ability to compete in the paint makes him a reliable choice, but mastering his jump shot will be crucial.

C-Tier Centers: Serviceable Options for Specific Roles

Next, we have the C-tier, which features centers that can be effective in certain situations but may not be reliable enough for competitive play.

• Tim Duncan (C-Tier): Tim Duncan’s domination reward card is a mixed bag. While he can green shots in the right hands, his three-point rating is too inconsistent for most players to rely on. Despite this, he’s solid defensively and has great fundamentals in the post. For those who already have him, he can be a valuable addition, especially at the center position rather than power forward.

• Dwight Howard (C-Tier): Dwight remains a powerful inside center, much like Wilt and Shaq, but with a bit less polish. While he can excel defensively, he lacks the shooting that many players seek in the current MyTeam meta. Still, his athleticism and ability to finish lobs make him a useful option if you focus on an inside-out game.

• Andre Drummond (C-Tier): Drummond is a similar story to Dwight, providing solid rebounding and rim protection. However, he lacks versatility, and his offensive game is limited to paint scoring. He's a decent option if you’re looking for a traditional big man, but don’t expect him to shine against more versatile opponents.

A-Tier Centers: The Elite Options

Moving up, we have A-tier centers—players who can dominate their matchups and make a significant impact on both ends of the floor.

• Willis Reed (A-Tier): Willis Reed offers a great balance of inside scoring and outside shooting. While he doesn’t quite match the defensive dominance of the top-tier options, he can knock down shots from the perimeter and hold his own against stronger opponents. If you need a center who can space the floor and still be effective in the paint, Willis is a strong pick.

• Chet Holmgren (A-Tier): Chet is arguably one of the best stretch bigs in the game. With a smooth shooting stroke, he’s a constant threat from three-point range, allowing him to pull opposing centers out of the paint. His downside is his low strength, which makes him vulnerable to inside scorers like Wilt and Shaq. If you can protect him defensively, Chet can be a game-changer on offense.

S-Tier Center: The Best in the Game

Finally, we come to the top center of Season 2, a player who stands above the rest in terms of versatility, impact, and overall effectiveness.

• David Robinson (S-Tier): David Robinson is the gold standard for centers in NBA 2K25 Season 2. With a three-point rating that makes him a consistent shooter, he provides the spacing that inside centers lack. On top of that, Robinson excels defensively, offering elite shot-blocking and rebounding. He is the perfect combination of size, skill, and versatility, making him a must-have in competitive play. Unlike other centers, Robinson is reliable from deep, which means he can keep the defense honest and open up driving lanes for your other players.

Budget Centers: Limited but Not Hopeless

Budget options for centers are limited in Season 2, but there are a few worth mentioning. Unfortunately, many of the cheaper choices, like Ruby Dikembe Mutombo, aren’t up to par with higher-tier centers. However, one standout among budget options is:

• Purvis Ellison: Purvis Ellison offers a decent all-around game for a budget center. He may not have the dominant inside presence of a Wilt or Shaq, but his versatility makes him a valuable option for players looking to save NBA 2K25 MT. For those struggling to afford the top-tier cards, Purvis can be a reliable choice, especially if you can find one with additional badges.

Key Takeaways: Building a Strong Frontcourt in Season 2

In NBA 2K25 Season 2, building an effective frontcourt requires balancing your team's style of play and finding the right fit for your center. If you can master the art of using inside centers like Wilt and Shaq, they can still be incredibly effective. However, for most players, the ability to stretch the floor with shooters like Chet Holmgren or David Robinson will provide more flexibility in offense and defense.

David Robinson remains the top choice for those looking for the best all-around center, while players with a more traditional style might find value in B-tier options like Shaq or Wilt. Budget players may have fewer choices, but finding the right diamond in the rough can still make a significant impact on your team's performance.
