The Lakers' fortunes changed dramatically in 2K23 MT the case of Los Angeles Lakers when the team made a decision to trade Russell Westbrook last summer. Los Angeles traded legitimate NBA assets and a draft pick for Westbrook in an act which was widely condemned during the period. All of the detractors of the trade turned out to be correct, as Westbrook ended up being the biggest thorn in the team's camp last season. Now, the Lakers have found themselves in the position where they'll be more effective by trading Westbrook but they might have thought about it but have given up.

The sad part is that Westbrook appears to still believe his skills are elite. He was unable to accept any accountability for his team's shortcomings during his interview to end the season. Westbrook has a basketball ego which is extremely difficult to break. Perhaps the people over on NBA 2K23 can break that self-image a bit however. The ratings for the game are beginning to come out and Westbrook's rating is not that of a star player (which Westbrook thinks he's). It is that of a rotational bench player.

Russell Westbrook was given an unflattering 78 overall rating in NBA 2K23. Russell Westbrook has the fourth-highest 2K23 ratings of the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook is obviously behind LeBron James as well as Anthony Davis but he is not far behind his new teammate as well. The 2K team have given Patrick Beverley a 79 overall rating, which is an appropriate reflection of where he's currently in the course of his professional career.

Westbrook was shared the top spot with 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 however it is 100% justified. Westbrook fans will be horrified with this rating and be quick to point to his box score as the reason why Buy NBA 2K MT his rating should probably be between mid- to high 80s. Anyone who was able to watch Lakers playing basketball during the season understands how untrue that box score can be, however, and how poorly Westbrook played last season.
