The worst part is that Westbrook seemingly still thinks that he's an
Nba 2k23 mt elite athlete. He seemed to have very little accountability of the team's failures in his final interview last season. Westbrook has an ego in basketball that's extremely hard to break. Perhaps the folks over on NBA 2K23 can break that self-image a bit however. The ratings for the game are beginning to come out, and Westbrook's score is not one of a superstar player (which Westbrook thinks he's). It's that of one who plays a bench position in rotation.
Russell Westbrook was given an awful 78 percent overall score on NBA 2K23. Russell Westbrook has the fourth-highest 2K23 rating on the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook clearly is behind LeBron and Anthony Davis but he is also behind his newest colleague as well. The folks over at 2K gave Patrick Beverley a 79 overall rating, which is probably an appropriate reflection of where he's right now in his life.
Westbrook has, in contrast, stood in a tie with Kendrick Nunn and is barely ahead of the likes of Thomas Bryant and Lonnie Walker IV. This is a massive loss of grace for Westbrook however it is entirely justifiable. Westbrook stans will be outraged by this result and use this box-scoring as one of the reasons his rating should probably be in the mid- to high 80s. Anyone that actually watched Lakers game last season understands the blunder that this box score can be, however and how poorly Westbrook did last year.
The former MVP has always been little overrated when regards being a successful player (he had only one win in a postseason series after Kevin Durant left OKC) but it was impossible to
cheap Nba 2k23 mt deny his athleticism and skills. That might at the very least result in 2K, even if it did not result in winning basketball championships in real life.
