NBA 2K23 can break that self-confidence a little
As of the launch date, Phoenix will be aiming for an overall team ratings of 90 NBA 2K23 MT. It is expected that the Suns will also feature a total of five players with a rating of 80 or more in the NBA 2K23 including this year's nominee for the 2K23 cover athlete:
There was a lot of change in the case of Los Angeles Lakers when the team decided to trade Russell Westbrook last summer. Los Angeles traded legitimate NBA assets and a draft pick for Westbrook in an move that was widely criticized back then.
Many of the critics of the deal ended up being right, and Westbrook was an enormous thorn in team's back last season. Now, the Lakers stand in a position where they are actively better in the event that they trade Westbrook but they might have abandoned the idea.
The sad part is that Westbrook believes that he's an elite athlete. He was unable to accept any responsibility for the team's failure in his final interview last season. Westbrook has an ego for basketball that's difficult to break. Perhaps the folks over in NBA 2K23 can break that inner ego a little bit however. Ratings for the upcoming game are now coming out, and Westbrook's ratings are not that of a star player (which Westbrook thinks he's). It is that of a rotational bench player.
Russell Westbrook was given an terrible 78 overall rating in NBA 2K23.
There was a lot of change for the Los Angeles Lakers when the team made the decision to trade Russell Westbrook last summer. Los Angeles traded legitimate NBA assets and a first-round pick for Westbrook in an act that was widely decried during the period. Every one of the critics of the deal ended up being right, as Westbrook ended up being the biggest thorn in the team's way last season. The Lakers have found themselves in the situation in which they'll be better when they sell Westbrook but could have abandoned the idea.
The worst part is that Westbrook is still adamant that his skills are elite. He was not able to take any accountability for the team's shortcomings in his post-game interview last season. Westbrook has an ego in basketball which is extremely difficult to break. Maybe the people at NBA 2K23 can break that self-confidence a little NBA 2K MT, though. The ratings for the game are starting to come out and Westbrook's score is not that of a star player (which Westbrook thinks he's). It's the result of an 'internal' bench player.
Russell Westbrook was given an poor 78 overall score in NBA 2K23.
