Place your Duke hatred aside for a moment and enjoy this tech: It's uncertain if Zion's 2K personality will have an expensive house because of MT 2K22 his 2K parents supplied by 2K Duke, but one thing is quite clear and that's the fact Duke can not quit replicating off Kentucky.

I'll remind you who was the cover boy on last year's version of the match: The New Orleans Pelicans had three players at the top-100 in the new NBA2K21, but Lonzo Ball was none of these. Lonzo got the lowest rating of his profession, just a 77, that is crazy when you consider some of the other names on the list.

The last two make no sense since Lonzo Ball is clearly a far better all-around player than either Redick or especially Favors. It makes me wonder whether the game manufacturers even saw Favors play, because it seems an egregious error to put him anywhere near Lonzo Ball.

Nevertheless, it wasn't only his own team that acquired more love than Lonzo Ball, as there were several guys on the top-100 list who just are not too great, or are least not that much better than Lonzo. Is this a joke? Can there be a single team from the league who'd take both of these guys (or both) instead of Lonzo? Nope.

Alec Burks and Elfrid Payton are decent players but neither brings the comprehensive package that Lonzo Ball does. Markelle Fultz had a wonderful bounce back year, but he averages fewer rebounds, assists and steals than Lonzo and can not shoot. Just how are they rated the same, particularly when Lonzo Ball is a much better defender? It seems like the makers of Buy NBA 2K22 MT NBA2K21 are Lonzo haters or just don't watch enough basketball.
