The former MVP has always been slightly overrated

The sad thing is 2k23 mt that Westbrook seemingly still thinks that his skills are elite. He took very little accountability for the team's shortcomings during his interview to end the season. Westbrook has a basketball ego that's extremely hard to break. Maybe the team in NBA 2K23 can break that illusion of ego a bit, though. Ratings for the game are now being released and Westbrook's ranking isn't the one of a star player (which the guy believes he's). It's the result of the bench player with a rotational system.

Russell Westbrook was given an terrible 78-percent rating for the overall performance of NBA 2K23. Russell Westbrook has the fourth-highest 2K23 score of the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook is obviously behind both NBA superstars LeBron Jamees and Anthony Davis but he is equally behind his latest player as well. The 2K team have given Patrick Beverley a 79 overall rating, which is fitting for where he is currently in the course of his professional career.

Westbrook, meanwhile, it shared the top spot with Kendrick Nunn. It is barely higher than the likes of Thomas Bryant and Lonnie Walker IV. It's a major drop in the grace of Westbrook, but it is completely justifiable. Westbrook stans will be outraged at this number and refer to its box scores as an excuse why his rating should likely be between mid-to-high 80s. Anyone who has actually watched Lakers basketball last season knows how misleading the box score can be, however, and how poorly Westbrook played in the last game of the season.

The former MVP has always been slightly overrated when is considered a winning player (he had only one win in Buy Nba 2k23 mt a game in the playoffs since Kevin Durant left OKC) but there was no doubt of his athleticism, skill and athleticism. That could as least translate into 2K, even if it didn't translate into winning basketball in real life.
