The 2022/23 edition of the world's most popular basketball game NBA 2K will be released today, and guess what?
Quite a few stars did not like the ratings they received.
The forward of the Brooklyn Nets, and one of the biggest stars in the best league in the world, Kevin Durant was rated 96 and was not satisfied.
"I need an explanation why I'm not 99? This is becoming a joke," he tweeted on his Twitter account this week.
Aye @Ronnie2K I'm gonna need an explanation on why I'm not a 99?
This has become laughable https://t.co/oySQUtcDP2

The Elusive 99
Only five players have ever received a 99 rating - Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James and Chris Paul.
Shaquille O'Neal remains the only player to receive a 100 rating in the video game.
Giannis Antetokounmpo received the highest rating in this year's edition with a 97. Durant is in good company with players who received a 96, along with LeBron James, Stephen Curry, last season's MVP Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid.
Luka Doncic is the only one rated at 95, followed by Kawhi Leonard at 94, then Jah Morant, Jayson Tatum and Jimmy Butler round out the top ten with a three-way tie at 93.
Even Klay Thompson, the shooting guard of the champion Golden State, did not like the 88 rating he received in 3-point shooting ability.
He received a score of 88 out of 100, second only to teammate Stephen Curry who received a rating of 99. "Give me some respect," he wrote on Instagram.
Klay is livid about his 3-point shooting rating in NBA 2K23 😬

Anthony Karl-Towns, the big man of the Minnesota Timberwolves, also did not like the work that did not enter the list of the top five shooters beyond the arc and reacted on the networks.

Danny Avdia received a score of 76, an upgrade of one point from the previous two years in which he received 75. The Israeli who showed good ability in the Eurobasket tournament, also received a new and invested graphic design.
