Look before getting up in arms about certain ratings.
Think about this one thing. If a player is rated an 85 and one is rated a 90. Does that the guy who is a 90 a better scorer or defender in ratings based on an overall view point.
The answer is no. If Dirk is an 85 overall does it mean he isn't a threat to go for 30+ any given night. No. It means when you add everything into consideration all skills accumulate to the overall rating of 85. Dirk doesn't block many shots, he isn't a good on ball defender, he isn't a good post defender, he isn't high level rebound guy, he isn't fast, and etc.... Why shouldn't that effect his overall.
Let's say Durant offensively he is a monster, but he doesn't have a post game for his size, he isn't a top defender, he doesn't make a lot passes, and etc... Does that make him not one of the top players in the game no it means that just like in real life he won't be backing people down and locking down good scorers at his position which is true.
The numbers reflect an overall view of a player lol a higher overall means with everything factored in this is what we get.
It doesn't reflect one persons specialty or effectiveness understand that please. A lot of the players deserve the rating. LOL we can't boost certain things just because we are fans, but if you are it is your interpretation and view of their skill set. Not necessarily what is true to that player.
