1. Golden State Warriors

Look, the most fun part of a basketball video game is being able to completely take over and do things that you could only dream about doing in real life. No NBA player embodies the video game-like surrealism in his play more than Steph Curry.

When you add in the smoothest shot in the game in Klay Thompson, you have a team that features two lethal shooters that you could shoot anywhere on the floor with. The Warriors play in ways that make you shake in disbelief. Their virtual counterparts do the same.

Beyond the Splash Brothers, Draymond Green is a rim-protector, ball-hawking stud that can play as a free safety in the half-court. Andrew Wiggins is a bouncy, uber-athletic finisher who can nail the open 3-pointer.

Their bench is unproven, but there are few better starting fives than the Warriors, and that has been the case for the last half decade. Interestingly enough, by the time the next 2K rolls around, they may surround Curry and Thompson with another top lottery talent via their draft pick.

Fully healthy, there is no more fun than can be had than going on a 3-point shooting barrage with either or both of the Splash Brothers.
