If you're just starting MyTeam this year, you're into challenges and multiple lineups. You'll want to focus on some of the Amethyst cards, they are the entry to greatness in the mode. Curious as to which Amethyst cards are the best in NBA 2K21 MyTeam?
Michael Jordan '95 (91)
Many NBA fans consider Michael Jordan to be the greatest player of all-time, so it's expected that players would be gifted with the opportunity of getting a card featuring the Chicago Bulls legend with a rather high overall. He comes in with the best amethyst card in NBA 2K21's MyTeam mode. The card is part of the clutch theme set and lets you place the Chicago Bulls legend at either the shooting guard or small forward spots. Overall the card is well-rounded and can be used in a myriad of ways, with its one glaring downside being its effectiveness in the rebounding department.
Boris Diaw '05 (91)
One of the best passing bigs in the league, Boris Diaw finally makes his entry into 2K. The Frenchman is a Spurs icon who was a vital part of their title-winning team in 2014. Diaw is a 76 rated PF on the game and is part of the 13-14 San Antonio Spurs classic team. He was a true professional and this year was given a 91 overall amethyst card as part of the flash theme set in NBA 2K21's MyTeam mode. Diaw is a solid scorer who can contribute key points off the bench and is a better rebounder than most people remember.
Mitch Richmond '02 (91)
Mitch Richmond showed his superstar skills off for a few different teams but played for the Kings from 1991 until 1998. Richmond led the team in scoring every season he was in Sacramento and earned 6 All-Star awards while there. In his career, Richmond averaged 21 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. His best years came with the Sacramento Kings, but this 91 overall amethyst card pays homage to his early days in San Francisco.
Jamal Mashburn '04 (91)
Jamal Mashburn was a solid starting NBA shooting forward and for his career managed to average a little over 19 points per game, which is no small-time feat. 'The Monster Mash' made his solitary All-Star appearance in 2003, on the back of his best-ever scoring season in 2002, playing in all 82 games and averaging 21.6 PPG. Mashburn's 91 overall amethyst card showcases his scoring ability and represents his play during the 2004 NBA season when he was a member of the Charlotte Hornets. History may forget about him, but that doesn't mean you should too.
Bailey Howell (91)
Bailey Howell was a six-time All-Star who finally made the Hall of Fame 26 years after retiring. For his career Howell finished averaging 18.7 points and 9.9 rebounds a game, meaning it was essentially a double-double. His 91 overall card may not fit in today's NBA, but it is still a rock-solid power forward card.
Willis Reed '74 (91)
Willis Reed is a big man that could hold his own no matter who he went up against. The two time NBA Champion and 1970 MVP is undoubtedly one of the very best players to ever play in the NBA, spending his full ten-year playing career in New York with the Knicks. During his long tenure with the Knicks, he held a solid 18.7 points per game, he also had 1.1 blocks per game, as well as a monstrous 12.9 rebounds per game, ensuring that the inside game was never a problem. The center earned every bit of his 91 overall amethyst card that will hopefully teach kids playing NBA 2K21 about the vintage Knicks who were good.
Dennis Johnson '86 (91)
Most people will remember Dennis Johnson as the defensive maestro who became a Boston Celtics legend. Averaging a decent 15.6 points per game, he held himself to a high standard as a team player, going 5.8 assists per game, as well as 1.4 steals to stop any ongoing drives. His amethyst card may lack when it comes to scoring, but you secure a Dennis Johnson card to shut down your opponent.
Corey Maggette '13 (91)
Corey Maggette is a pure scorer. He won't play much defense, nor will he be making many plays for teammates. However, if your team is looking for buckets, he's your man. Maggette is an excellent slasher. He's aggressive getting to the hoop and utilizes his solid ball-handling to get him there. With a strong build and impressive vertical, he's capable of attacking even the strongest of defenses. His amethyst card shines when it comes to athleticism and scoring, but don't look for it to rebound or play defense. This card is perfect to come off the bench and contribute energy to the second unit while the superstars rest up on the bench during the game.
Allan Houston '05 (91)
If you're a Knicks fan, think not of the end of Allan Houston's career. Instead, think back to the Allan Houston that not only made it onto the court but routinely hit big threes on postseason contending Knicks teams. Houston also had one of the highest playoff percentages for three-pointers on this list, drilling his long-range jumpers with 42 percent success. If you need a pure scorer this card is more than generous to Houston in that department, despite the Tennessee product averaging around 17 points per game for his career.
Sleepy Floyd '95 (91)
Few people remember Eric "Sleepy" Floyd, but don't let his nickname fool you, as he was always wide awake as a terrific playmaker and deadly scorer over his 13 season NBA tenure with the Nets, Warriors, Rockets, and Spurs. Floyd made it to the 1986-87 All-Star game and up to this date, he still owns the record for most points scored in a quarter of a playoff game (29) and a playoff half (39) after getting 12 buckets in a row against the Lakers, posting career averages of 12.8 points and 5.4 assists to go along with 1.2 steals per game.
