A Year After Kevin Durant Deemed NBA 2k23 “Laughable”, 2K24 Snubs Suns All-Star and Stephen Curry From Top-5

The NBA offseason has several exciting things to offer. One of the most anticipated aspects of the offseason is the release of the NBA 2K games. The video game has essentially become a part of the basketball culture over the years. With fans and NBA players alike playing it, it has established its position as the pioneer basketball video game in the world. Kevin Durant too has stated that he is an avid player of the game.

Kevin Durant has cemented his place as one of the greatest players in NBA history. The 13 time All Star makes shot-making look automatic from anywhere on the court. His finishing at the rim and ball-handling skills too have earned the highest acclaim. Given his extraordinary reputation, Durant was stunned to see the disrespect that he received from 2K Sports in their game, NBA 2k23. However, it seems like the disrespect has repeated itself.

Kevin Durant slams the disrespect

Kevin Durant had an incredible season in 2021-22, also receiving MVP buzz for most part of the season. He started off the season with an incredible outburst, racking up historic numbers before suffering an injury. However, his team Brooklyn Nets suffered a humiliating playoff exit in the first round.

After the season as usual, 2k launched its next game, NBA 2k23. The ratings in the game revealed that The Sim Reaper only received a 96 rating instead of the highest rating, that is 99. Durant seemed upset with this incident and took to Twitter to share his opinion on the game.

On Twitter, Durant wrote, “Aye @Ronnie2K I’m gonna need an explanation on why I’m not a 99? This has become laughable,” mocking the legendary game. He also called out the face of the game, 2K’s Digital Marketing Director Ronnie Singh on his tweet. The disrespect however seems to have not ended yet for the former MVP.

Despite another incredible season, the Phoenix Suns forward has reportedly been snubbed from the list of top 5 rated players in the game yet again. However, he is not alone this time. Golden State Warriors star guard, Stephen Curry too, found himself snubbed from the top 5 list.

Stephen Curry takes a jab too

Stephen Curry been the franchise player for the Warriors for years. The 34 year old has established his position as the greatest shooter of all time, leading the NBA all time in three pointers made. One could assume his unparalleled ability would rank him among the top 5 rated players on the game. However, Chef Curry too, found himself snubbed from the list.

Although the ratings have not released yet, it is reported that the top 10 list for NBA 2k24 has been leaked. In the leaked list, Nikola Jokic ranks as the highest rated player in the game. With a 97 overall rating, the reigning Finals MVP earned the top spot on the list. Following The Joker was the Greek Freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo. Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid and LeBron James occupied the remaining spots in the top 5 list respectively.

Kevin Durant reportedly ranked 6th and Curry 7th in the NBA 2k24 ratings. Durant received another 96 overall rating in the game, much to his disappointment.

Despite their lower ranking, the two NBA legends cannot be questioned about their abilities. The two future Hall of Famers have definitely proven themselves as gifted basketball athletes over the years. However, their NBA 2k ratings have fallen below the top 5 list this year. Is this a disrespect to their abilities? Should Durant and Curry be rated higher?
