Why do people care so much about Kobe and Melo's ratings?

If Kobe was a 99 or an 85, he will still drop 30+ because of his skill set, same with Melo.

And for those who say Melo is over rated, you obviously don't know the numbers he put up when Woodson took over and what he did against Miami in the playoffs. I know he lost in 5 games but so did everybody's favorite player since 2 yrs ago Durant.

I will be the 1st to admit that LeBron and Durant are on a whole different level than anybody else, but to sit there and say Kobe and/or Melo shouldn't be in the 90's is plain stupid.

Compare Kobe and Melo's stats to any SG/SF in the league not named LeBron or Durant, they put up better numbers than ANYONE and that's a fact. Even Wade came up short on the offensive end when compared to Kobe or Melo.

Kobe, Carmelo, Durant, Wade & LeBron are the top 5 go to guys in the league and if you feel that either one of those guys don't deserve to be in the 90's, you don't know about basketball and obviously don't know how the attributes/skills work for 2K.

P.S. Kevin Durant may have won the scoring title 3 years in a row but a TRUE NBA fan knows that Kobe and Carmelo are the best scorers in the league. Durant is amazing don't get me wrong but he relies on his jumpshot and fastbreaks to get buckets. Kobe and Melo have a full arsenal of moves from ISO to the post to Ranged shots. They can score at will from anywhere at any scenario on the court.

Also, based on the last 2 seasons, Carmelo Anthony is the most clutch player based off the last 2mins of the 4th qtr/overtime. Look it up.

Melo is the best scorer on his team. That's about it. He is maybe the third best scorer at his position. I would give him the edge over PP only because of age.

Lmao there about to give us Kevin love Anthony Davis and Scottie pippens rating smh. Y'all know why there not giving lebrons rating yet right? I bet it's because he's a 99. Remember for that short period of time that lebron got a update on 2k12 and was a 99 but struggled against Phoenix okc and Indiana so they knocked his mid range down to a 75 and his overall went back to a 98? I'd bet they put his mid range back up and he's a 99 again. If I'm wrong I'm wrong but it's possible. Plus in the gamescom demos you can see when lebron has the ball inside the 3 point line he's got 5/6 bars filled. So clearly his mid is back up. Watch.

Valid points in the bold, except for the red where I tend to disagree. I think, instead of Wade ... Deron Williams should be in the top 5.
