A lot changed in the case of Los Angeles Lakers when the team made the decision to Nba 2k23 mt trade for Russell Westbrook last summer. Los Angeles traded legitimate NBA assets as well as a first-round selection in exchange for Westbrook in a move that was widely criticized when it was made. Many of those who opposed the deal ended up being right, and Westbrook ended up being an enormous thorn in team's camp during the season. Now, the Lakers currently find themselves in situation in which they'd be much better when they sell Westbrook but could have thought about it but have given up.
The most disappointing thing is that Westbrook is still adamant that he's an elite player. He was unable to accept any responsibility for the team's failure in his last exit interview of the season. Westbrook has a basketball ego that's very difficult to break. Perhaps the folks at NBA 2K23 can break that confidence a bit, but. The ratings for the game are starting to come out, and Westbrook's score is not one of a superstar player (which he thinks he is). It is that of an auxiliary bench player.
Russell Westbrook was given an unflattering 78 overall rating in NBA 2K23. Russell Westbrook has the fourth-highest 2K23 ratings of the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook clearly is behind NBA superstars LeBron Jamey and Anthony Davis but he is not far behind his new teammate , Patrick Beverley. The 2K team gave Patrick Beverley a 79 overall rating, which is probably right for the position he's at in his career.
Westbrook is tied with Kendrick Nunn and is just slightly better than the likes of Thomas Bryant and Lonnie Walker IV. This is a significant decline for Westbrook, but it is entirely justified. Westbrook fans will be shocked by this score and will be quick to point to its box scores as the primary reason his rating should likely be between the mid to upper 80s cheap Nba 2k23 mt . Anyone who watched Lakers play basketball in the last year will know how misleading the box score is, though and how badly Westbrook did last year.
