NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

[Primerica]

I agree that Roy and Joe are both the same in terms of overall.

[ehh]

Only player that's absolutely outrageous to me is Evan Turner at a 76. Forget that.

Maybe because he's the best rebounder, best shot blocker and most athletic big man in the NBA. On top of all that, he can average 20 points a night on a very high percentage. Even with his offensive deficiencies, Dwight is still the best big man in the NBA. Dwight and Timmy should have their rating flip-flopped and Gasol should have his dropped by a point or two.

My biggest gripe is chris bosh, how the heck is he an 87? he's not better than dirk and he's actually a worst post defender than dirk. He's got a good midrange game and an ok post up game. With Bron and Wade, they don't need his midrange game. Bosh Should be the 83 and guys like Dirk and David Lee should be the 85-87's.

He's a better rebounder than Dirk and he's a better scorer than David Lee. Basically, he's the more complete player of the three and most people would agree. Although, I agree his rating is a little high.

And how are bron and Wade rated the same as kobe? they arent better. they are younger but as players they are not a better player right now. Attaching Overalls really kills all this. Too bad people have to rely on them. You can run your association with never looking at Overalls and build teams that fit with each other

They're both statistically superior players to Bryant, plus they're both younger and more athletic. An aging Kobe Bryant doesn't deserve to be tied with LeBron James. Nor should Wade be rated at a 97. LeBron is the most complete player in the league and his overall rating reflects that, but Wade and Bryant aren't in his class.

Gasol is better than Dwight and Duncan. He has a midrange game and is a FAR better passer, FT shooter than Howard.

You are kidding right? Lebron has to get a much more consistent jumper and a post game to be considered a more complete player than Kobe.

Yes I agree Wall is high, but Wall is going to be really good, he shouldn't be lower than say a 77. Curry is only an offensive player, he can't guard the elite PG's in the league. While will be able too with his size, speed and athleticism ( and his overall hunger on the defensive side) My biggest gripe is chris bosh, how the heck is he an 87? he's not better than dirk and he's actually a worst post defender than dirk.

Bosh is better than Dirk 15 feet in, which is gonna matter more at PF. He's more athletic, a better rebounder, and I'd say they're probably equal as post defenders, and equal passers. Dirk only shooting 48.1% from the field hurts his ratings I'm sure.
Lebron was the best player in the NBA last year by far. There's very little argument for Kobe there. More boards, more assists, more points,shot better from the field, better off ball defender, and a comparable on-ball defender (Kobe still has him by a tad, though he's fallen off there too).
D-Wade vs Kobe is alot closer. Wade shot better from the field (especially at the rim), produced more assists, steals (.2 more), and blocks. I see him as a notch below Kobe as an on ball defender. Kobe rebounded more (.6 more), but he also played 2 more minutes per game than Wade. Kobe and Wade should be pretty much equal as far as overall ratings go.

Kobe should be a 98 overall, hes going to go down as a top 10 in NBA history.

LeBron has a better jumper and finishing ability than Kobe IMO.
