NBA 2K13 Top 20 Players and Possible Player Ratings

[Belly_of_a_Whale]

There's no way Howard should be rated higher than Durant overall. He's a free throw liability with limited range and post moves. Sure he's athletic, but Durant is on another level of basketball player.

As for Wade not being a first-option star anymore, people need to stop drinking the cool-aid! He's only second option because he's playing with LeBron. On almost any other team, he would be first and he'd put up huge numbers. There are only so many numbers to put up when you're playing with LeBron, as he gets the points, rebounds and assists. The fact that the Heat won it all last year should prove Wade is still elite and should be rewarded in his overall rating.

I also feel that some of the overall ratings are a bit inflated, which wouldn't be a big deal unless you compare them to legends. Then, it seems to devalue the abilities of some of the game's all-time greats.

LeBron James a 94+..... a 96+ is what it should be.... He's the BEST player in da WORLD!

Bannable comment.

Just to humor you though. Guess how many of the players you listed had a better PER than D Wade last season? Two

Paul and Lebron. Wade playing second fiddle was more productive than KD, Howard, Kobe, Rondo, D Rose (including his MVP season, Wade's PER last year was still higher lol), and Westbrick while playing injured.

Knowledge is power, ignorance is bliss

Yes, which is why Melo should be much lower than a 92. However, Durant actually hustles, rebounds, and plays better defense than he is given credit for. That, coupled with an offensive game and shot that is off the charts, should be more than enough to be rated higher than Dwight Howard, who is coming off a forgettable year and a back injury.

OT though, Westbrook shouldn't be a 90+

They are being too generous with the ratings, making it seem a lot of players are in the same tier of stardom

Blake Griffin should stay 85.
