NBA Today apparently didn't watch a lot of Los Angeles Lakers or Minnesota Timberwolves basketball this season NBA 2K23 MT. Cassidy Hubbarth, Los Angeles Sparks power forward Chiney Ogwumike, Matt Barnes and Brian Windhorst talked about their perceptions of NBA 2K doing Russell Westbrook dirty with their latest player ranking of the beleaguered L.A. point guard. The most current edition of the online game NBA 2K23, is released today.

Westbrook was given a "mere" 78 overall player rating, one notch below the 79 he received from his new teammate (and Westbrook's probable replacement as the team's new position guard) Patrick Beverley. Cassidy Hubbarth called the move "petty," which leads one to ask which Cassidy Hubbarth see the damage the healthy Russell Westbrook did to the Lakers in the field last season?Barnes, a 15-year professional who played for two seasons playing for the Kobe Bryant/Pau Gsol Lakers and the Kobe Bryant/Pau Gasol Lakers, said that he was the host of a 2K launch event recently, and that Westbrook's score was the most discussed 2K23 detail of the night. "I thinkthat even though Russ went through an offseason last year, I believe his ranking is not high enough," Barnes opined. I think Pat Bev is right there..."A rank of 79 would be a decent one however, Russ's rank is too low."

If 79 is a solid player, shouldn't the 78 team also be strong? Beverley is a great defender and a good three-point shooter. Westbrook could be a better passer (at most, within the first 40 minutes of the game) and rebounder, numbers which a video game would give, but he's absolutely not an "better" athlete than Beverley at this point in their respective careers. "Russ, as much as you question your game and try to point out the limitations of his game, I believe that he's still doing a great job," Ogwumike contended on the show. "

He'll show up and offers you at least 20 [pointsor so], maybe even 8 or so assists? rebounds? unclear]. "Of course, much of this production is directly as a result of Westbrook not paying attention to or ignoring large-mouthed teammates, and thus causing low-percentage heaves in traffic NBA 2K23 MT Coins. In the role of the center of an offense this 6'3" UCLA product is now one of the biggest obstacles to his team's success.
