As stated before, Wade being the best non-MVP ever is a really good place for him to be and I could get on board with that. That's where he's at in the game. He's even better than some guys that have won MVPs (like Nash). Iverson in 2001 and LeBron in 2007 were the closest things I've ever seen to one guy taking a team to the finals by himself. Those are really special performances, not just for one game or one series, but for an entire season. I don't think at any point he was ever more capable or dominant than LeBron or Kobe at their best. There's nothing wrong with that.

We could agree to disagree but I respect your opinion. It's just that Wade fans like myself are so used to him being underrated while Kobe/Bran have been overrated at times. Wade has definitely been robbed of a few defensive team selections by Kobe from '09-'12. That's a fact but all three are still great players. To be honest, I can't complain because Wade is still going to be a beast in the game. '03 Dirk being an 85 is beyond bull****. Dude put up 25/10 on 46%FG/38%3PT/88%FT yet isn't even higher than Nash.

In other words, '15 Gasol > '03 Dirk.

Why do they have some at dual position, when they never played at the spot. I understand Duncan, Penny and so on but MJ at SF and most C's at PF c'mon

Finally someone points out the crime committed against Dirk!

It's ludicrous. I remember they did the same **** to him in 2K12 w/ that same 85 overall a year after he kicked every team's *** in the P/O on the way to a Finals MVP and title. He also had a strong case for MVP. 23/10 on 52%/39%/89% on a 57 win team that went 2-7 without hm.

Aside of Anthony Davis and MAYBE Griffin, no other bigman in today's league should be rated higher than Prime Dirk. The disrespect to have a 35 year old Pau Gasol who came a nice regular season but poor P/O run a higher rating than Prime Dirk. There needs to be an update on these ratings but I doubt that will ever happen.

# 86 STEVE42_ @ 09/20/15 04:31 AM

How can anyone ever call Paul Pierce overrated? He's the most under appreciated player of this generation. Easily would have multiple rings if he got help earlier in his career, and still could have gotten more with KG and Allen if it wasn't for important players on the team getting hurt. There's a reason why LeBron considers him his biggest rival. Saying Vince Carter was better is laugh out loud funny as well.

# 87 CD90 @ 09/20/15 05:29 AM

Derek Fisher might be missing this year, too.

In the video he is not one of the Top6 Players of 97-98 and 00-01 Lakers and on Twitter there is a picture showing the 00-01 Starting 5 that has Shaq, Grant, Fox, Kobe and Lue.

# 88 BQ32 @ 09/20/15 10:30 AM

Obviously we will never be completely happy with the ratings but I think this year they are probably the best they have ever been. With that said, Hakeem the dream is way too low. During those championship runs he did not play with great talent but also went up against and DESTROYED some of the greatest centers the game has ever seen. He made Robinson, Shaq, Ewing, and others look like Amatures. He was great on both ends of the court absolutely needing to be doubled and is the all time leader in blocked shots. Prob should be a minimum of 97. Dumars was never better then Thomas enough said. I also though Kobe had surpassed Shaq in 01 as he carried them at times during the season (remember the 9 straight games of 40+) when Shaq was in rest mode and through the Western Conference playoffs. Shaq did dominate the finals however I think Kobe haters try and use that as a reason to discredit his greatness.

# 89 DC @ 09/20/15 10:34 AM

I am 100% sure Dumars's defensive abilities are the reason why his overall is higher than Zeke

I would have to see each individual attribute to make that decision. Plus also remember that they play different positions. So I am not outraged about it as much as others

Not really, though. T-Mac was on his last superstar (debatable) legs in '08. He had missed 16 games and didn't perform well in the regular season:

RS - 21.6 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 5.9 apg on 41.9%FG/29.2%3PT/68.4%FT

It got to a point where he was only making 62%FT in the P/O and played no defense the entire year. He didn't even make the AS team and only made the All Nba 3rd team because Houston went on that crazy 22 game win streak. Also, Iverson got snubbed. He was much better than McGrady that season.

2K should've put in the '05 Rockets, instead. By then, I would've agreed with you since T-Mac was beasting that season.

After watching this video I get the rating system. Its going to be crazy playing now cause if your a bad team your a bad team and a great player is a great player. Friday is almost here

# 94 sterfry1994 @ 09/20/15 03:26 PM

Does anyone know if they'll fix players primary/secondary positions on the pre-order release day?

Paul George should have his secondary moved to PF
I heard Greg Monroe's should be C now
Joesph Young should be PG/SG
Is Duncan listed as C/PF for this year?
What about Jabari Parker? PF/SF?

Lol, Kyrie Irvings playmaking grade is higher than LeBron. B+ and A. WTF.

Yeah I think Kyrie, and Lillard are overrated. Probably overrated both of their playmaking. Kyrie Should be a B- at max.

The playmaking letter grade gets heavily boosted by the ball handling rating. Though, they've both been overrated in their individual passing ratings for a while now.

Stop paying attention to the OVR so dang much. I remember that 85 rated Dirk in 2k12. He had a freaking 99 in Inisde, Close, and Mid shots. That was ridiculous and he legit made EVERYTHING

You might be right. I vividly remember him beasting in that game. Athleticism makes up alot of 2K ratings but that doesn't change the fact that Pau friken Gasol has a higher overall than Prime Dirk. Just like Wade, I could already tell that 2k gave Dirk the short end on a couple of his ratings while someone like '07 LeBron has an A rated defense when in fact his defense wasn't great that year. Cleveland was a fine defensive team, though.

# 100 DTHEGAWD @ 09/20/15 06:56 PM

How is second three peat Jordan higher rated than first three peat Jordan?

'07 LeBron Is not better than current LeBron and deserves a low 90's rating, '13 LeBron probably deserves a bit of a higher rating that's better than any Magic season and he got a 97 at his best.

Payton a 92 really don't see how he's better than present day Paul or how he's in the same echelon as Curry.

'03 Dirk only an 85? He was very agile, could handle the ball actually going coast to coast, could pass, was close to a double digit rebounder, was a G.O.A.T. level shooter and underrated defender. Dude was as good as Griffin and Aldridge who are 88's.

Dumars ahead of Isiah? Pierce a 91? '08 T-Mac overrated with damn near a 90 overall.
