Here we'll be talking about the top 10 must-have cards in NBA 2k23 MyTeam, these are cards we think everybody should either strive to go out and get or just have on their squad. You're not going to have every single player on your team, but these are just the players we would definitely recommend, some are going to be super expensive, some are going to be kind of in the mid-tier and then some are going to be either free or budget cards the first card.

1 - Diamond Andrei Kirilenko

He's going to be a Power Forward and Small Forward with six foot nine tall, a seven-foot wingspan. He's around 50 to 60 000 MT, but for the defense, he provides you with a 90 block, 90 steel, 90 lateral quickness, 86 perimeter, and 80 interior defense, he's going to be one of the better defenders in the game. So we would definitely recommend trying to get him as your Lockdown Defender.

2 - Diamond Paolo Banchero

He's a power forward with center six foot ten tall, seven foot wingspan. This Paolo Banchero card only around 20,000 MT and he's going to be a great budget power forward and center to run. He has 80 speed, 79 three ball, 90 driving dunk, 85 standing dunk, plays a lot better defense than these stats do show. He's got a really good jumpshot and been good in the pick and pop. What's more, he's good at going to the basket, so bench arrow for only like 20 000 Mt, we think is definitely going to be a must-have card.

3 - Pink Diamond Derrick Rose

If you should at least have one pink diamond by now or you should be at least striving to get your first pink diamond trophy case, Pink Diamond Derrick Rose is one of the must-have card in the game right now. He's going to be a point guard shooting guard with six foot three tall and six foot eight wingspan, really good at going to the basket with 98 speed, 98 speed with ball, and 95 ball handle. While having that 95 driving dunk, he literally dunks on everybody. So Derrick Rose in our opinion is the best point guard in the game and he is going to be 1000 free.

4 - Amethyst Robert Horry

This is one of the best budget cards maybe even the best budget card in the game right now. He's a power forward and small forward with six foot ten tall and seven foot one wingspan. This card can pretty much do it all has a 93 ball and 88 mid-range. He's not the fastest with the ball or just fastest in general, but he's going to be a decent speed. You should probably run him at that power forward spot, he's going to be a great pick and pop power forward and play decent defense. He's tall enough has a good wingspan and player model. What's more, he's got a really good jump shot as well so Robert Horry, an absolute Beast for only like 9000 MT.

5 - Amethyst Giannis Antetokounmpo

Speaking of the free token market card, amethyst Giannis Antetokounmpo is definitely the first one you want to have. You can run him at your backup power forward, he's six foot eleven tall with a seven foot four wingspan, and got a great player model. He's going to give you good defense and good at going to the basket. He's a fast enough card even has an 82 ball handle. Only a 66 three ball in a 75 mid-range, so you might be saying he can't shoot threes, but if you're wide open with this card especially from the mid-range, he is going to be able to knock down very consistently and sometimes from the three.

6 - Amethyst LeBron James

The second card we would recommend taking out of the token market and probably a must-have card for most budget or kind of starter teams is going to be amethyst LeBron James. He is a small forward six foot nine with a seven foot wingspan, just like Giannis, one of the best player models in the game. He plays way better defense than his stats and badges do show, he's got really good speed and jumpshot, been good at going to the basket. LeBron usually gets really bad jump shots at the start of the year but this year 2K decided to give him one of the best jumpers in the game, so Giannis and LeBron are the two players we would recommend as the token cards definitely to go after if you kind of have like a starter team.

7 - Amethyst Nicolas Batum

He's going to be a power forward and small forward with six foot eight tall and a semfo wingspan, this another one of the best budget cards in the game. He is a do it all card and he can do everything in the game, as he plays great defense with 87 interior, 87 perimeter, 85 steal, 84 block. This is decently fast card has a good three ball, good ball handle, good speed with ball. His jump shot really isn't the best if you tried this card out, but if you're wide open we think you'll be able to knock down very consistently and then he also does have the Michael Jordan dribble style subatom for only like10 to 15 000 MT, so it is going to be one of the best budget cards in NBA 2K23.

8 - Pink Diamond Blake Griffin

If there's any expensive card you are going to go out and pick up, it is 100% you must get Blake Griffin since he is very cost-effective compare to other expensive cards such as 400k Williamson. He is one of the best center in the game, but can also play good at the power forward spot. He's six foot ten tall with a 6 foot 11 wingspan. This player going to the basket is one of the best in the entire game with 98 driving dunk, 98 standing dunk, good at finishing around the rim. What's more, he's a great defender and good rebounder with 83-3 ball, 88 mid-range, and a really good jump shot.

9 - Amethyst Danny Green

We can knock down pretty consistently with another must-have card is 1000% going to be amethyst Danny Green. If you are looking for a budget shooting guard, we would 100% recommend picking up amethyst Danny Green. If you have like Jalen Brown or Iguodala, you can definitely run them because they're both technically free. But Danny Green for a budget card that you can actually buy on the auction house, he's six foot six tall with a six foot ten wingspan. He cost you around 20 to 25 000 Mt, but look at the defense, he gives you 91 perimeter, 93 ladder, 90 steel! He's an amazing all-around defender has a 93 ball, 84 mid-range, and has one of the best release in the game, while also having that Michael Jordan dribble style. So Danny Green for only 25 000 Mt is probably going to be the perfect 3 and D card in the game.

10 - Pink Scottie Pippen

He's hard to get as a level 40 reward but this is one card you are definitely want to get on your lineup. If there's any cards on this list that we would recommend going after or trying to save up or try to grind for is 100% good to be Pink Scottie Pippen. He's the best card in the game and he's going to be very valuable for a long time because of his defense and he's got one of the best jumpers. There's nothing that Scotty Pippin card can't do ,while also being a really good defender like being one of the best defenders in the game, but really good height and a really good wingspan and obviously.
