NBA 2K16 Player Ratings - Top Rated Point Guards (UPDATED)

No they actually won more. However, for the games where westbrook didn't play (including the one he got injured and played 8 mins) they went 5W - 11L and they were 40-26 when he did play. During the final stretch of the season when he played without both durant and ibaka they went 10-8, probably should've went 12-6 (jazz and pacers were winnable) but i guess he's only human after all. I don't think the mythical golden boy michael jordan himself would've won much more dragging that team around. OKC (westbrook) was 1 win away from making the playoffs and that's with durant playing only 27 games, let that sink in for a second. They were 18-9 when they both played.

And this is just anecdotal but when he got a triple double they went 7W - 4L. Also, wasn't he playing with a fractured face as well?

I agree on curry being rated too high btw but i understand they have to rate players objectively (even though it's beyond me how you could objectively get kobe at 85 but that's another story) and that means looking at stats. Subjectively though, replace westbrook with curry on okc and i'll be surprised if he does any better or even as good. I'm just trying to say some people here (in general) need to look at context a little more in stead of just looking at regular/advanced stats. Try to understand how they got those stats and that efficiency. One guy has a stacked team and great coach, the other has a bad coach and an injury riddled team. Those things matter among many others.

And i'm not even a westbrook fan, just tired of people rating players while completely ignoring context.

Rose is rated as an 84 overall PG
Kobe is rated as an 85 overall SG
The game uses two different algorithms to calculate those overall ratings.

If Kobe and Rose are put at the same Positions then one them will have their rating changed.

83 for Dragić would be good I think, extremely underrated PG. Best finisher at the rim too.

But I guess I may be a little biased because I'm a diehard Heat fan.

when a championship and don't even get finals MVP and end up with a better overall then PG that are better then you in all categories but shooting. I can tell right now they went and overated him in a bunch of categories. He should not be rated that high.

Dude isn't really a good passer, isn't a good athlete either, and is a below average defender. But he has sick handles and a deadly jumper. If anything, he's OVERRATED. He's a poor man's Steph Curry.

you are a casual if you actually believe what you just typed.

That's a joke...right?

He was MVP last season.

MVP. OF. THE. LEAGUE.

Finals MVP or not, to say all he does well is shoot is flat out wrong. Period. He won MVP for a reason. The Warriors despite just 2 all-stars won an absurd 67 games for a reason.

Not to mention, Curry "just shoots" like Shaq "just power dunked." Curry is the single best pure shooter in NBA history. Not just the league, EVER. He's not perfect by any means, but pretending like rating him the most dangerous PG today's game is overrating him is just plain hating.

Kyrie is really talented and probably the best 1-on-1 scoring PG in the game today but defensively he is not very good compared to the other elite PGs. Also, he still struggles to find that balance between running the team and being a super-scorer.

30 out of 30 teams would take Curry over Westbrook right now, and that includes the Cavs.
