LeBron James Reacts To His NBA 2K19 Rating

In the NBA 2K gaming franchise, each active player in the NBA and some legends to boot is individually rated on a 99-point scale. Although this might seem like a trivial ranking that means nothing in the scheme of the game, when you are given a single number that summarises your talents and makes you comparable on the same scale to others in the league, this shit gets competitive. 

LeBron James, now a Los Angeles Laker, is going to appear on the cover of the 20th-anniversary edition of NBA 2K19, so we were made aware of his rating before it releases in September. Check out his reaction to a 98 rank!

Man those white uniforms ain’t so bad/fresh and that rating ain’t so bad either for such an old head! 🤣🤷🏾‍♂️🙏🏾 #NBA2K19🔥 #KingJames👑 #StriveForGreatness🚀 #RWTW🏅 #JamesGang👑

At 33 years of age, this is a pretty phenomenal rating, however, it's the 12th time out of 16 that LeBron has copped a 97 or higher rating, even getting a 99 in NBA 2K14. 

NBA 2K19 is the 20th installment in the NBA 2K franchise and the successor to NBA 2K18.
