There's a lot of players with comparable numbers. To say Dwyane Wade is a 92, do you really think he's 2-4 attribute points off of LeBron James? Absolutely not. Wade still is effective because of the talent LeBron has. Who is guarding Wade? The worst backcourt defender. The best of course is on LeBron. Wade is not a washed up scrub, but he's not a 92 overall, especially in this game, which has legends. Wade is maybe at best a 86-88, with Kobe being at about the same range, maybe a bit higher. There isn't many great SG in the game today, with most scorers being SF's and more and more PG's have the score mentality now. In my opinion, 2k overrates more players than they underrate, which leads to way too many stars.

But LeBron ISN'T a 94. He's AT LEAST 94 and probably 97-99. So, in that regard, Wade at 92-94 would still be probably about 5 overall points less than LeBron, which sounds about right to me. With Wade's all around game, there's no way he should be less than 92. Again, just because LeBron gets most of the numbers, should not penalize a great player he is playing with.

Can't agree more. I love how Manu is rated at 87, while Tony Parker will likely be rated around 83 again. I just don't understand 2K's love affair with Manu and disregard of TP. Switch their ratings and it would be accurate.

He has to be the high, hes the second best point guard in the league, the stats don't lie compared to Kobe.

All you people dissing Kobe's FG shooting last year better still be here at the end of this coming season...I have a feeling it is going to go up a ton this year. Just a hunch.

I can't believe you wouldn't consider Rose, Westbrook, Williams, Paul, or Rondo.......

To your point, Wade does get some production from LeBron - not all of it. And given Wade being injured for the most part of the season and still pulling 30pt games out when necessary, he's becoming more efficient with LeBron on the court. Not sure if you watch every Heat game, but down here, I've seen Wade play like this all throughout 2009 and the only thing that has changed is his speed.

His vertical and dunking have gone down as well. Wade can still throw 'em down, but his age and knee have reduced his ridiculous vert a little bit. Hopefully 2K understands this and adjusts Wade's dunking to a more realistic level. Wade's vertical and dunk should be reduced to the mid-80's, imo, and his speed and quickness around a 90 overall.
