The NBA 2K franchise released its first batch of player ratings for the 2022 edition of the game this week and the announcements had fans in fury.
No one player topped the list of rankings, instead, four players will share the honors of beginning the season as the best player in the game.
Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Giannis Antetokounmpo all have a rating of 96, which for those looking to win debates on who the best player in the game is, the 2K franchise didn’t provide any argument support.
