The former MVP has always been somewhat from wangyue's blog

The unfortunate thing is that Westbrook seems to 2K23 MT believe that he is an elite player. He took very little responsibility for his team's mishaps during his interview to end the season. Westbrook has an ego in basketball that's extremely hard to break. Perhaps the folks at NBA 2K23 can break that confidence a bit, though. Ratings for the upcoming game are now coming out and Westbrook's rating is not that of a star player (which Westbrook believes he is). It's one who plays a bench position in rotation.

Russell Westbrook was given an ugly 78 overall rating on NBA 2K23. Russell Westbrook has the fourth-highest 2K23 score of the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook is obviously behind LeBron and Anthony Davis but he is also behind his newest teammate , Patrick Beverley. 2K have given Patrick Beverley a 79 overall rating, which is suitable for where he's right now in his life.

Westbrook however, is has been tied with Kendrick Nunn and is barely higher than the likes of Thomas Bryant and Lonnie Walker IV. This is a huge decline for Westbrook and is completely justifiable. Westbrook stans will be shocked by this result and use his box score as the reason why his score is somewhere in the mid to high 80s. Anyone who actually watched Lakers play basketball in the last year is aware of how misleading that box score is, though and how poorly Westbrook was last season.

The former MVP has always been somewhat overrated when it regards being a successful player (he had only one win in a playoff game since Kevin Durant left OKC) but there was no doubt of his athleticism, skill and Buy NBA 2K23 MT athleticism. This could at least translate into 2K, even if it didn't translate into winning basketball in actual life.
