A lot changed in the case of Los Angeles Lakers when the team decided to trade forNba 2k23 mt Russell Westbrook last summer. Los Angeles traded legitimate NBA assets as well as a pick in the first round for Westbrook in an action which was widely criticized in the moment. The critics of the deal ended up being correct, because Westbrook ended up being the most thorn in the team's back last season. Now, the Lakers have found themselves in the place in which they're more effective should they decide to trade Westbrook however, they may have abandoned the idea. The worst part is that Westbrook seemingly still thinks that he's an elite player. He admitted to taking no responsibility for his team's shortcomings during his interview to end the season. Westbrook has an ego in basketball that's very difficult to break. Maybe the people the at NBA 2K23 can break that ego down a bit however. The ratings for the upcoming game are beginning to be released and Westbrook's ranking isn't that of a star player (which Westbrook believes he is). It's an average bench player. Russell Westbrook was given an ugly 78 overall rating on NBA 2K23. Russell Westbrook has the fourth-highest 2K23 ratings of the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook clearly is behind LeBron James as well as Anthony Davis but he is in the same position as his teammate as well. The 2K team gave Patrick Beverley a 79 overall rating, which is fitting for where he is at in his career. Westbrook is shared the top spot with Kendrick Nunn and is barely ahead of the likes of Thomas Bryant and Lonnie Walker IV. This is a significant drop in the grace of Westbrook and is 100% justified. Westbrook stans will be furious by this rating and will refer to that box number as an explanation why his rating is likely to be in the mid-to-high 80s. Anyone who was able to Buy 2k23 mt watch Lakers play basketball in the last year knows how untrue that box score is, and how poorly Westbrook was last season.
