Ronnie 2K Analyzes Jayson Tatum's Rating in NBA 2K25 #celtics #nba2k25 #jaysontatum #nba2k #nba
In January 2015, former Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside recorded a triple-double with blocks in a game against the Chicago Bulls. During his post-game interview, Whiteside told reporters that he was "just trying to get my 'NBA 2K' rating up."
Nearly a decade later, the lore surrounding player ratings in the basketball video game franchise remains as prominent as ever. Most recently, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo responded to a Bucks Instagram post expressing his displeasure over his overall rating of "97" in "NBA 2K25," the franchise's latest iteration.
"Giannis wasn't happy with his review this year. There's always someone who's mad," said Ronnie Singh, head of lifestyle and content marketing at 2K Games. "I mean, I think it's great that the players are having fun with it. It's become a badge of honor."
