However, Kevin Durant thinks his game rating should be 99. “I’m gonna need an explanation on why I’m not a 99? This has become laughable,” he wrote on Twitter.
Even though Durant has been among the top players in the NBA for the previous years, his highest rating in NBA 2K series is only 97. Additionally, he has appeared on the game’s cover three times. Once by himself for NBA 2K15 and twice with a group, but he hasn’t yet hit the top rating.
