The worst part is that Westbrook seems to believe that he's an elite athlete. Westbrook took no responsibility of the team's failures in his exit interview last season. Westbrook has an ego in basketball that's very difficult to break. Maybe the team in NBA 2K23 can break that illusion of 2k23 mt ego a bit, though. Ratings for the game are coming out and Westbrook's rating is not that of a star player (which Westbrook thinks he's). It is that of one who plays a bench position in rotation.
Russell Westbrook was given an unflattering 78 overall rating in NBA 2K23. Russell Westbrook has the fourth-highest 2K23 ratings of the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook clearly is behind NBA superstars LeBron Jamey and Anthony Davis but he is even further behind his most recent teammate as well. The 2K team gave Patrick Beverley a 79 overall rating, which is probably right for the position he's where he is in his playing career.
Westbrook is placed second behind Kendrick Nunn and is just barely above the ranks of Thomas Bryant and Lonnie Walker IV. This is an enormous downfall for Westbrook however it is completely justified. Westbrook fans will be enraged at this number and point toward that box number as the main reason why his score should be somewhere in the middle to high 80s. Anyone who was able to watch Lakers playing basketball during the season understands how misleading the box score is, though and how badly Westbrook did last year.
The former MVP has been slightly overrated when comes to being a winning player (he has not won a single playoff game since Kevin Durant left OKC) but it was impossible to buy Nba 2k23 mt deny his athleticism or skill set. It could be a good thing to result in 2K, even if it does not result in winning basketball championships in real life.
