A lot has changed with the Los Angeles Lakers when the team decided to sell Russell Westbrook last summer. Los Angeles traded legitimate NBA assets and 2K23 MT a draft pick in exchange for Westbrook in a move which was widely condemned in the moment. The critics of the deal proved correct, as Westbrook was the biggest obstacle in the team's camp last season. Now, the Lakers have found themselves in the position that they'd be better off if they trade Westbrook however, they may have given up on that happening.

The sad thing is that Westbrook seems to believe that his skills are elite. He took no responsibility for his team's performance in his last exit interview of the season. Westbrook has an ego in basketball that's difficult to break. Perhaps the folks at NBA 2K23 can break that illusion of a ego a little bit, though. The ratings for the game are beginning to surface and Westbrook's rating isn't that of a star player (which the guy believes he's). It's the result of the rotational bench player.

Russell Westbrook was given an awful 78 percent overall score on NBA 2K23. Russell Westbrook has the fourth-highest 2K23 score of the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook clearly is behind LeBron and Anthony Davis but he is in the same position as his colleague as well. The folks at 2K gave Patrick Beverley a 79 overall rating, which is probably an appropriate reflection of where he's currently in the course of his professional career.

Westbrook has, in contrast, tied with Kendrick Nunn and is just slightly higher than the likes of Thomas Bryant and Lonnie Walker IV. This is a significant drop in the grace of Westbrook but it's absolutely justified. Westbrook is sure to be shocked by this score and will use its box scores as the primary reason his rating should likely be in the mid- to high 80s. Anyone who actually watched Lakers game last season is aware of how misleading that box score can be, however it is also how badly Westbrook performed last season.

The former MVP has always been slightly overrated when is considered a winning player (he had only one win in a playoff series since Kevin Durant left OKC) but it is not impossible to see his athleticism, skill and athleticism Buy NBA 2K MT. That could as least be translated into 2K, even in the event that it didn't translate into winning basketball in real life.
