Similar to how James disagreed with the ratings allotted to Durant and Curry, saying they deserved a 99 instead, Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans is on the same boat for James. In an episode of “Just Playin’ with Taylor Rooks“, Williamson explained why he’d give James a 99 overall: “Off respect and what he’s done for the game, I’d give LeBron a 99. What he’s done for the game, nobody else has done. So I give respect when it’s due.”

Kamiah Adams-Beal: @Ronnie2K is a whole joke at this point. Ronnie 2K: Oh boy we have the wife upset too. That’s real love, I appreciate that!
Apparently, though, Ronnie 2K had a follow-up tweet to mock Kamiah after her latest rant about the game. The post has since been deleted, but not before the wife of the Wizards guard saw it and his followers saved a screenshot.

Asking for a 92 isn’t crazy. But then Tatum got the bad news: His rating is 90 — four notches below Luka Doncic and six below Kevin Durant (who believes he should be a 99). “Oh my God,” Tatum said, throwing his head back. “I don’t know how we keep going backwards. I scored 50 in the playoffs twice, four 50-point games, tied Larry Bird’s record, 27 a night.”
Ryan Ward: A few NBA 2K22 (@NBA2K) ratings have dropped (no Lakers, unfortunately): Kevin Durant – 96 Giannis – 96 Steph Curry – 96 Nikola Jokic – 95 Luka – 94 Khris Middleton – 88 Jrue Holiday – 85 Some more players could have ratings drop throughout the day. pic.twitter.com/NyUg2N5G0C
Kevin Durant thinks he should be a 99 on NBA 2K
Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant has high expectations for his NBA 2K22 rating. In a video posted by NBA 2K, Durant, one of the cover athletes for the game’s 75th anniversary edition, explained why he believes his rating should be a 99 overall. “I work extremely hard,” said Durant, who was a 96 overall last year. “I pretty much do everything great. That’s why I should be a 99.”

NBA 2K21: Jimmy earns a 93 OVR after his unbelievable playoff run Accurate? #2KRatings
For Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, the 90 rating in NBA 2K21 is a feat for the young All-Star, and one of his few goals he planned on crossing off his list by the conclusion of the 2019-20 season. “I feel good,” Tatum said. “You set out a goal before the season, and once you accomplish that goal, it feels good. And now we’re on to the next marker.”

Unlike a number of players, Lillard seemed indifferent when asked about his ranking — he doesn’t play as himself on the game anyway — though he did managed to get in a little jab at the developers nonetheless. “It’s fine, I never really cared,” said Lillard. “I don’t understand why people get mad about what the rating is. A lot of people that come up with the game, they probably can’t even shoot.”

Morris likewise used to play a lot of NBA 2k, but veered away from the franchise about three years ago, by his recollection. He had two pressing issues with the game: his rating and his appearance. “I’ve been on there, I didn’t have my beard,” Morris said. “I didn’t have none of that. And I just wasn’t feeling it because I look at these other players, they’ve got everything. They’ve got all their [facial hair and accessories] done. They’ve got guys that haven’t played an NBA game coming in at [an] 80-something [rating] and I’m a fucking 77. And I done been in there eight years putting in work every year. So I just feel disrespected. So I don’t play it. “I averaged 14 [points per game] for the last three years. There’s no way I’m a 77 and dudes who average less than me are in the 80s. I don’t respect it. So I can’t play it.”
“I came back less this year than I was last year. How does that even make sense?” Morris said. “We went to the Conference Finals. I had a great season. How do I come back less? So I can’t deal with them. “Fuck them. I ain’t reaching out. I don’t feel like I should have to. I put in a lot of work.”
Enes Kanter: This is why l play @EASPORTS

After his stellar first year, Kuzma told NBA 2K’s Ronnie Singh that he was expecting a bump when NBA 2K19 releases. “I think it should be at least an 80,” Kuzma said in a video. Kuzma got his wish — or at least the bare minimum of it — because Singh told him that when 2K19 drops, Kuzma will be an 80 overall, something the star sophomore forward says he’ll “for sure” use as motivation. ”But hey, an 80’s an 80,” Kuzma added, although his body language and tone in the video were that of a child trying to talk themselves into socks being a cool birthday present when they expected a Nintendo Switch:
Chris Grenham: Jaylen Brown said that he plays Fifa and not 2K, but as soon as the 2K ratings came out, Kyrie called him and asked how he felt. “I was like Kyrie, I do not give a fuck about no 2K rating. (Kyrie) was like ‘bro they played you’ (laughs).” via @CJMcCollum @Schultz_Report

Quentin Grimes has a simple goal for his stay in Las Vegas. “Really come out here and dominate,” he said after the Knicks summer league team went through its first practice at Cox Pavilion. “I feel like I played well last year. Just coming in this year being a second-year guy, I know what to expect, I know how the games are. Just go out there and try to dominate every time offensively and defensively.”
“It was my first year really ever coming off the bench,” Grimes said. “You got to earn Thibs’ trust, earn Thibs’ minutes. Going in you have to fight for everything to get the opportunity, make the most of it. I had an injury, had to go through adversity. I think it made me ready for whatever’s to come this year.”

During this year’s 2022 NBA draft, 19-year-old Paolo Banchero was the first overall pick by the Orlando Magic. And he wore a very eccentric outfit that made him stand out. His bespoke purple suit, from Dolce & Gabbana, was so expressive that it inspired Italian custom car company Garage Italia to create a mockup of a car that channels the same eye-catching, eccentric vibe as his suit. Their choice was a “made in the U.S.A. sports car that embodies the power and athleticism of the Magic’s first-round pick,” a Dodge Viper ACR.
The vehicle also features Banchero’s mantra, “Stay true.” The car comes with an Orlando license plate, which is his upcoming destination.
