I’m writing this post knowing full well that Kevin Durant, a frequent pot-stirrer on Twitter, is stirring the pot.
But hey, maybe not! Maybe the Brooklyn Nets star really, truly believes he should be rated a 99 overall on NBA 2K23 as player ratings are dropping o Tuesday.
Yet he’s a 96, tied for second-best with a bunch of names and just behind Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 97.
KD is fantastic, an all-time great, a first-ballot no-doubt Hall of Famer who may go down among the game’s greatest scorers.
But a 99? Now? I’m sorry, not buying it. And as he made his demands public, there was a lot of reaction:
KD wasn't happy
Aye @Ronnie2K I’m gonna need an explanation on why I’m not a 99? This has become laughable https://t.co/oySQUtcDP2

I am petitioning for us to remove MJ on the cover and replacing with you the real 99 https://t.co/hzXzHhU04X

Only Kevin Durant off an Achilles injury getting swept by Boston would expect to be a 99 https://t.co/L4sTxvHJTS

Kevin Durant is not a 99. In real life…on 2K…anywhere in this universe.

KD, fresh off being swept, calls himself a 99 and God.
We can’t ever have that man getting a ring driving the bus.
