Russell Westbrook was given an poor 78 rating overall on 2k23 mt.

A lot changed to the Los Angeles Lakers when the team made the decision to trade for Russell Westbrook last summer. Los Angeles traded legitimate NBA assets and a first-round pick for Westbrook in the move which was widely condemned when it was made. All of the detractors of the trade ended up being correct, as Westbrook was the biggest thorn in the team's camp last season. Now, the Lakers have found themselves in the position where they are actively better in the event that they trade Westbrook but could have thought about it but have given up.

The most disappointing thing is that Westbrook appears to still believe he is an elite player. He took no responsibility for his team's performance during his last exit interview of the season. Westbrook has an ego in basketball that is very hard to break. Maybe the team at NBA 2K23 can break that confidence a bit, but. Ratings for the upcoming game are already coming out, and Westbrook's rating is not one of a superstar player (which Westbrook believes he is). It's the result of the player on the bench who rotates.

Russell Westbrook was given an unflattering 78 overall rating in NBA 2K23. Russell Westbrook has the fourth-highest 2K23 rating for the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook is obviously behind both the LeBron James team and Anthony Davis but he is in the same position as his teammates as well. The folks at 2K gave Patrick Beverley a 79 overall rating, which is probably suitable for the position he's currently in the course of his professional career.

Westbrook is placed second behind 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 and is 100% justifiable. Westbrook fans will be enraged by this result and be quick to point to its box scores as the primary reason his rating is likely to be in the mid-to-high 80s with cheap Nba 2k23 mt. Anyone who has actually watched Lakers basketball last season can tell the blunder that this box score really is, and how poorly Westbrook played in the last game of the season.
