The NBA2k game is arguably the most iconic game in basketball. And this iconic game is something most players use. And they care about their ratings to the highest level. They often react when they do not agree with the standards that they are rated. However, when Kevin Durant complained about his rating, the NBA fans were irate and they took it out on KD.

However, the Nets were riddled with injuries throughout the season and Durant was hurt the majority of the time. And this led to the Nets being the seventh seed in the season. Therefore, they had to face the mighty Boston Celtics in the playoffs.
