Russell Westbrook was given an ugly 78 overall rating on NBA 2K23

Russell Westbrook was given an ugly 78 overall rating on  NBA 2K MT  .

There was a lot of change for the Los Angeles Lakers when the team decided to trade for Russell Westbrook last summer. Los Angeles traded legitimate NBA assets as well as a draft pick in exchange for Westbrook in a move that was widely decried in the moment. All of the detractors of the deal ended up being correct, and Westbrook was the most thorn in the team's camp last season. The Lakers stand in a situation that they'd be better off in the event that they trade Westbrook however, they may have gave up hope of that happening.

The worst part is that Westbrook seems to believe that the best player in the world is him. He took no responsibility for his team's performance during his last exit interview of the season. Westbrook has an ego in basketball that's very difficult to break. Maybe the team at NBA 2K23 can break that ego down a bit, however. Ratings for the upcoming game are now coming out and Westbrook's rating is not that of a star player (which Westbrook claims to be). It is that of an opportunistic bench player.

Russell Westbrook was given an terrible 78-percent rating for the overall performance of NBA 2K23. Russell Westbrook has the fourth-highest 2K23 rating on the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook is clearly behind NBA superstars LeBron Jamey and Anthony Davis but he is in the same position as his teammates as well. The folks over at  Buy NBA 2K23 MT Coins   have given Patrick Beverley a 79 overall rating, which is probably an appropriate reflection of where he's at in his career.

Westbrook is stood in a tie with Kendrick Nunn and is slightly higher than the likes of Thomas Bryant and Lonnie Walker IV. This is a massive fall from grace for Westbrook and is completely justifiable. Westbrook fans will be horrified at this number and point toward Westbrook's box score to explain his rating should be somewhere in the middle to high 80s. Anyone who has actually watched Lakers game last year is aware of the blunder that this box score can be, and how poorly Westbrook played last season.
