Blake averaged 20 PPG and 10.9 RPG. at LEAST an 85 for you people making him out to be nothing but a dunker. I'm sure Blake didn't dunk the ball 10 times a game and I know the foul line didn't help with him shooting at 50-60%.

Actually, I would take Ibaka over Griffin. Ibaka has a better jumper, sends a lot of shots away, but they both lack a good post game.

About Favors being better than Blake though... I'm a big Jazz fan, and watch a lot of their games. Being in Utah and playing in a loaded frontcourt, Favors doesn't get a whole lot of the spotlight. Favors can rebound just as well as Blake, and is a better defender. He can knock down a few jumpshots here and there, but he's mainly an under the basket scorer like Griffin. If Favors wasn't in Utah, and if he had a chance to get 28+ minutes a game, he would well be on his way to an all-star game.

Blake averages 20+ because LAC lacks a true post. He also goes to the line often. He may not hit all of his free throws, but he does get to the line.

If Blake can improve his low post game and becomes a better defender, then I'll say he's top 5.

Noooo, he has one post move which isn't even a good move. If you think he has a good post game go back and watch the playoffs all his buckets came from attack the basket or going to the line 80% of the time

blake griffin does score a decent percentage of his points in the post with his back to the basket.. His post game isnt great by any means. Its ok and can be improved on.

here are some examples... :33, 1:08, 1:16 so no all of his points werent from freethrows and attacking the basket.





and smh at the guy who said he would take ibaka over griffin.

I have a feeling Deron Williams will be highly overrated Westbrook will be a 91

Im sorry.....i agree with most of that besides the kobe being a 94-95 with the injury, he had a terrible season last year despite being second in the scoring area. Horrible % to what hes accustomed to, Very inconsistent....having the season he had last year + the injuries i say he should be a 91-92 on release day

Same for Rose great talent but if you cant stay on the floor you donr deserve that rating so for him a 90

Sorry but you're wrong... Durant dunks on people a lot.. You just aren't paying attention.

And this is also for anybody else who thinks Durant doesn't dunk on people..

These are basically all on 7 footers too..

These are only a few examples, but it makes my point. Durant is known for some nasty dunks on people. By the way, Russell Westbrook should have a high dunk rating too. I can post videos of that as well if u don't believe me.

I personally would love to see a meter, similar to how THE SHOW does their ratings. On The Show, you cannot visibly tell if Player A is better than Player B...all I'll see is that both players are pretty darn good and this ratings talk will stop others questioning the credibility of the 2K INSIDER and the team. Thanks!

Is one player always better than another? Nope. Most of the time one player is better at some things and the other is better at others.

Plus, isn't it up to the PLAYERS of NBA 2K to PROVE who's better?

But, alas, what does it matter. As long as the casual fan keeps buying, there is no incentive to improve.
