There are a few times where we must defer to legacy and history to do something. Despite the fact that evidence may possibly suggest otherwise...

This is one of those times. MJ is the GOAT, and to show that respect to him, nobody else should be 99.

Overall rating is not a career rating, its a single reason rating. Curry is objectively having a better year than MJ had regarding many statistics and team success even. MJ has the better career obviously, but that doesn't mean Curry isn't playing better than peak MJ.

inb4 defensive arguments that fail to note that Curry still is ahead despite his "shortcomings" (AKA not being a DPOY, but he's pretty solid).

Why is it blasphemous when MJ had a significant hole in his game (outside shooting) that wouldn't translate to the modern NBA?

I'm pretty sure 90s elite players would adapt to todays game, same as todays to 90s 80s or whatever rules. You think prime MJ and them wouldn't adapt and dominate todays game? You guys must be mad. Same goes for todays superstars, Currys shooting, playmaking and handling transcends generations. The argument is pointless.

Don't fight him. He is an avid Curry ***** and MJ dickrider.

Curry has deficiency of him being lesser defender as a PG which impacts the overall more than it does for MJ with his lesser shooting ability.

Jordan might "adapt" but it's insane to think he'd develop range from 35 feet when he could barely shoot outside 22.

dude i agree 100%

Tendencies are waay more crucial to gameplay than ratings...how a player plays defense or attacks or moves off ball or moves with the ball....team tendencies and player tendencies need to be the focus for 2k17. I am much happier with the current rating system then in previous versions..

i would like them to be a lil more spread out...

and in a game where offense is still king...taking a 77 rated guy who has a B rating or better for every offensive category still makes more sense than taking a 83 rated guy who has better defensive skills but less offensive skills.
