Let's now look at the ten best ruby cards in NBA 2K21 MyTeam. It consists of current fan favorites and superstars as well as calling back to some of the best players to get on the court in the NBA's extensive history.

Luka Doncic (89)

Luka Doncic isn't a rookie but he's one of the most talented younger players in the league right now. This is just Doncic's second year in the NBA and at just 21 years old he was voted to his first All-Star game — becoming the youngest European player to start in an All-Star game.

Doncic recorded his 22nd career triple-double in March, passing Jason Kid for most in Mavericks franchise history. He's been an all-around solid player, recording 28.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game and a list of NBA records and accomplishments that is already very impressive.

He's the youngest player in NBA history to record three triple-doubles; the only player in NBA to record two triple-doubles before the age of 20; he broke Jordan's record (18) of most games with at least 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists (20); the second player in NBA history to post 2,000+ points, 750+ rebounds and 500+ assists in their first 100 games; and the list goes on. His ruby card in NBA 2K21's MyTeam is just the beginning of what this guy will be rewarded with as he continues to blossom into greatness.

Bill Laimbeer '94 (89)

Bill Laimbeer was one of the bad boys associated with the Detroit Pistons of the '80s and early '90s. He was a 4x NBA All-Star, led the league in rebounds in 1986, and won back-to-back championships in 1989 and 1990.

Laimbeer was a well-rounded two-way big man. With averages of 13.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game, Bill showed an ability to impact the game in many ways. His ruby card reflects that evolution as it embraces his final year as an NBA player, 1994.

Andrea Bargnani '07 (89)

Andrea Bargnani is an Italian former professional basketball player and is a great offensive center. The 7 ft 0 in (213 cm) power forward-center played for Benetton Treviso in the Italian LBA and the EuroLeague before being selected first overall in the 2006 NBA draft by the Toronto Raptors.

He happened to have three incredible years as a member of the Toronto Raptors. His best season as a professional basketball player came in 2010 when he averaged 21.4 points per game, alongside 5.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. He spent 10 seasons in the NBA before ending his career with a stint in Spain during the 2016–17 season. In Italy, Bargnani will likely be celebrated as one of the best NBA players the country has ever produced. Snag his 89 overall ruby card to show love for the power forward out of Rome, Italy.

Richard Hamilton '04 (89)

Pistons guard Richard Hamilton is one of the better cost-effective players you can get out of this promo. Hamilton doesn't have the great shooting attributes from the inside and mid-range that Jordan and Bryant do, but the former shooting guard does have a solid 3PT Scoring (A-) rating to go along with lockdown Perimeter Defense (A). And don't sleep on Hamilton's A- Playmaking attribute, either.

Known for his iconic facemask he had to wear to protect a prior face injury, Hamilton was silky smooth on the court. Hamilton was a solid scorer who provided consistency at the position, which is reflected in his 89 overall ruby card.

Damian Lillard (89)

Damian Lillard is considered one of the NBA's best point guards. You can always rely on Dame to nail a clutch shot and produce on offense with scoring ability from any spot on the floor and lethal passing. Lillard brings this into NBA 2K21 with 98 Shot IQ, 98 Offensive Consistency, and 93 Mid-Range Shot.

Lillard is a passable defender who really makes his impact on the offensive side of the court. Though his ruby card is an 89 overall, it should arguably be higher as Lillard has lived his entire career being overlooked and underappreciated.

Brian Scalabrine '08 (89)

Brian David Scalabrine, nicknamed the "White Mamba", is an American former professional basketball player. He was never anything more than a deep bench role player who could come in and nail a 3-point shot or two when called upon.

In 2005, he signed with the Boston Celtics and won a championship with the team in 2008. In the final game of the regular season, Scalabrine tied a season-high with six rebounds and played 29 minutes. His ruby card is the developers paying homage to the reputation he built as an inside joke among NBA fans.

Eric Gordon (89)

As he prepares to enter his 12th season, it's safe to say Eric Gordon is a bit of an NBA veteran.

Despite his age, Gordon is still an important member of the Rockets five and with no Russell Westbrook for the first few games of the playoffs, Gordon's contribution is more important than ever. Though he averages only 16.6 points per game for his career, he has the ability to explode on any given night for anywhere between 30 to 50 points.

Kenny Smith '97 (89)

The '97 spotlight version of former Houston Rocket Kenny Smith is a past great rather players.

'The Jet' spent six years in Houston with the Rockets, and whilst he may not have been known for his point-scoring, Kenny was a consistent threat from deep. His most memorable performance was when he dropped seven three-pointers in Game One of Houston's 1995 NBA Finals sweep of the Magic.

Smith was an average defender but was sneaky good when it came to outside scoring and playmaking ability. His 89 overall ruby card is a walking sniper rifle as it comes with a 90 rating from behind the 3-point line.

Mike Bibby '02 (89)

Michael Bibby is an American basketball coach and former player. He played professionally for 14 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

If it wasn't for Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, the Sacramento Kings could have had their own dynasty in the early 2000s. Mike Bibby was the point guard for that roster and his immaculate ball-handling skills and ability to get his teammates open shots helped the Kings win plenty of games. With averages of 13.7 points, 5 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, Bibby served as a better than average starting point guard.

Bill Walton '86 (89)

Two things that aren't easy to do in the NBA are average a double-double for your career and be remembered as a great on one of the more storied franchises. Bill Walton, the UCLA product, managed to do both of those things.

He also is another member of the '77 Championship winning side. Walton was THE star man in the 4-2 finals win over Philadelphia, winning the finals MVP award. Another incredible board player (96 OVR rebound), Walton can also put up big numbers in the paint, particularly with his hook shot (96 rated post hook) and his standing dunk (95 OVR).

Players who want a lockdown rebounder who has a solid paint scoring game and is a good rim defender should look at acquiring Walton's 89 overall ruby card, which is part of the Playoff Stoppers set theme.
