    I said it about a week ago.

    KPjr put up a 50 spot last season.....NBA studs congragulated him on twitter
    and Instagram that day and the next and he liked that feeling.

    Kevin is going to "Ball Out" this season!

    His timetable of tanking does not match up with Clutchfans members.

    Only rookies rated higher than KPjr might be Cade/Green.....and I don't think they should be rated higher than him.

    I usually wait until there is a sale. I refuse to pay full price for a game that is supposed to be live service by now. There really shouldn't be a new 2k every year at this point. They do nothing to make it more realistic. Same bad animations between quarters and timeouts. GM mode is a rushed messed. Ronni2k sucks, just in general. Why do proven NBA players have to prove more than rookies? At the very least they should be the same rating.

    I would hope that KPJ is secure enough in himself to not let this video game ranking actually bother him. We have to remember that it was only 7-8 months ago when he had an outburst that included throwing food and being combative in an argument with the Cleveland Cavaliers' GM over the location of his locker. We cannot afford to have any regressions to that type of behavior.

    The last one I got was 2K20, which was free for a bit for PSPlus members. No desire yet to buy another.

    Prove em wrong, be more consistent. Until that happens then 2k won't be obliged to do anything.

    Play better defense. Don’t take yourself completely out of the play whenever you think you got fouled.

    Video game ratings don't matter, except if they can serve as a motivator to our young stud--CHECK.

    KPJ is coming into his third NBA season; he switched teams and transitioned from SF to PG in year 2. This off-season he appears to have been working on his game and he should come into training camp in great shape and focused on growing his game as a 1.

    This strikes me as every bit as important as the most recent "Power Rankings"

    You have to use Hardens first 2 seasons for this argument to hold any water. Seems people forget KPj was 20 when the season began last year. so far he's on the Harden trajectory if you use Harden at 20 and 21yrs old. I think the 77 rating is fair because he's just played 82 nba games

    If you’re justify the 77 with the logic “he’s only played X numbers of games,” how can you rate rookies higher?

    Maybe they got Green's speed, agility, jumping etc in the high 90s.

    I wouldn't also be surprised if Green right off the bat is a better shooter than KPJ.

    KPJ definitely should be higher in ball handling and offensive awareness/vision.

    Winning Games with Defense, Rebounding, Passing and Scoring, Playing together, pulling for one another.

    The Accolades will come, Trophies and Ratings will come.

    The Rockets must win games in order to achieve goals.
