NBA 2K Releases LeBron James’ Rating For Upcoming Game And People Are Really Mad He Didn’t Get A 99

At 33 LeBron James arguably had his best statistical season in the NBA when he led the Cleveland Cavaliers to another NBA finals appearance last season.

LeBron James, on the other hand, just completed arguably the best season of his career. It is easy to fall into the trap of recency bias when considering historic performances, but just a simple look at LeBron’s achievements this season proves that the King rightfully deserves the throne in this context:

Played in all 82 games for the first time in his career, leading the entire league in minutes played per game

Averaged career best in rebounds (8.6) and assists (9.1), while posting a career-high 18 triple-doubles

Led his team in points, rebounds and assists for the fifth time in his career, most in NBA history

Posted the best PER (28.6) among players in their 15th season or later

Won four Eastern Conference Player of the Month awards and became the first member of the 30,000/8,000/8,000 club

Today, NBA 2K released their rating for LeBron in their upcoming edition of the game and the King somehow didn’t get a 99 rating.

Of course NBA fans were angry and called out 2k for the snub.
