NBA 2K 27 is out.
You know what that means.
We have many segments to do reacting to NBA 2K ratings.
Today is no difference.
We are going to see five individual ratings,
and us three have to decide who the player is that B.Soles is describing.
Okay.
Let's do it.
All right.
First player.
Shooting guard, 92 from 3, 97 driving dunk,
and he can draw fouls, but he can't pass.
I know exactly who this is.
Passing Vision 65.
I know exactly who it is.
You see that Dunkin 3.
There's only so many guys.
Donovan Mitch is one of the first guys.
Who comes to mine?
No way, Donovan is 97.
Also, he's not a 92, three-point shot.
He actually might have a 9-2-3-point shot.
Yeah, for sure.
Anthony Edwards comes to mine too.
That's the main person in my mind.
Me too.
But 95 drop foul.
He's actually like famously doesn't falvate.
Yeah.
But 2K can just be throwing some ratings around to inflate him.
Is this Anthony Edwards?
This is Anthony Edwards.
Okay, that makes sense.
Who else were you thinking?
Nobody.
I thought.
Ant off-rick.
Yeah, there's really nobody in NBA right now besides him that has that three and that
dunk combination.
You see a two guard that could shoot that could drive me like, oh my goodness, what's his weakness?
He can't pass.
Yeah.
And that's okay.
That's fine.
But I know that that's ain't.
It's not that great.
It's not okay.
But for now it's okay.
He needs to fix it.
He's still a top 10 player in the world.
Like, you could do much worse than that.
We need to aim higher.
Let's get to two, Ant.
Let's learn how to pass.
Let's get to a 75.
Got a bronze badge in there or something.
Yeah, a little bit.
Yeah.
All right.
Next player.
a center extremely consistent offensively extremely smart shot IQ not that strong
decent primitive defender for a center 80 perimeter D is high as fuck for a center and a good
midrange.
Is Evan Mowbly?
Nope.
Evan Mowbly, offensive consistency nearly perfect.
True, you're right, 98.
If they didn't have that, I would kind of think with that perimeter D at 84 midrange shot,
is this bam out of bio?
No.
I guess.
But he's stronger than that.
Yeah, that's way too low on the shrink.
Also, is that 98 offensive consistency?
Is that representative of what we should expect?
Or the gassing.
The gassing?
The gassing?
Is this Anthony Davis?
No.
Is this?
Homegren?
No.
No, no.
He's like 59.
Is this Vign.
This is Wembe?
Yeah.
98 offensive consistency.
Not yet, buddy.
Damn.
95 shot IQ.
Not yet, buddy.
The strength 69 is hilarious.
He actually might never have a 95th.
five shot IQ. He's always going to have the eye
the tiger in him. Not impressed.
Thumbs down. This is clearly inaccurate.
Yeah, they're doing a little bit
much with the mental self offensively. Other than that,
I mean, the last three numbers make sense.
Yeah. He ain't got this.
Oh, my God. Next year, though?
Prove it. He's going to read a lot of books over the summer.
He was training with the monks.
Who's in training with this time?
I don't know. You better figure it out.
Like Zaram on Donnie?
Is that enough?
I don't know.
Can Mom Dani fix him?
Mom Dany wouldn't do it.
He's the very New York.
He's not fucking with the ops.
You're right.
Yeah, he's the main New York.
He's not going to do that.
Very New York first guy.
Yeah.
The most.
The beat.
Famously.
Makes sense.
In all regards.
All right.
I should have picked him.
Next player.
Shooting guard with a 74 defense,
72 strength,
98 intangibles,
90 perimeter defense and 98 shot IQ.
That's super interesting to be weak as hell.
that's not that week though for a shooting guard
but 72 strength 74 defense
but 90 perimeter defense obviously it's going to
average out but like interiors of the special
it's very interesting 72
for 2K rings really not that weak for a shooting guard though
974 strength that's just a mid bro
98 intangibles is like you're
you're one of those guys you're you're a leader
yeah 90 perimeter D is high though
your team can count 98 shot IQ
this is Derek White no
is Dyson Daniels
he went on 90 intangibles
No who might
Is this Drew Holiday
This is not
Damned it's shooting
Y'all are on the right track though
Yeah it's definitely somebody like that clearly
It's definitely a very highly respected defender
Oh it's Alice Crusoe
No
Damn
It's somebody like that
We're dancing around it
I don't know about highly respected defender
No okay
I thought 98 intangibles would mean that they get like some
He's him boost
It's not Lou Dork
So that strength
98 shot IQ
Oh so he's also a smart
Offensive player
Yeah
Just a smart guy
Let me
Throw you all the bones
You said not highly respected
This is one of those
The stats aren't representative
Of the player
Tyler heroes
No
Hell no
What the hell
90 primordee though
We gotta go there
At least he's a great defender
Is this Jalen Brown?
Yes
Okay
98 shot IQ
That's funny
Nice
Okay
Okay
74 defense
74 defense is kind of
Disrespect
It could be high
No it's not
Because off ball defense is really bad, but 90 perimeter D.
That makes total sense.
He nets out as a pretty okay defender, 74-ish, because the off-ball is terrible.
But perimeter?
Smack the ground.
He's good.
Yeah.
That's actually pretty fucking respectable.
Okay.
I would have thought he's a little stronger in that, though.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying?
That's what is strange?
Yeah, that's bogus.
What a shot IQ really?
They just got to fill the attributes.
They have certain numbers that they just make really high, really low to boost ratings.
whichever direction they want.
Yeah.
But 72 strength,
for perimeter players
never have crazy strength.
That way they're not able
to lock up bigs in 2K.
So I guess 72 is probably
like normal for a strong,
small forward.
Okay.
I guess.
If you have 90,
then he's locking up
Joelle and beating the post.
Which we saw he did not.
He actually didn't do it.
Yeah, he didn't do it.
He was getting fried.
Yeah.
Oh.
All right.
Next.
I didn't hear you.
Point guard,
93, 3.
Pointer, 95 midrange,
89 vertical,
87 speed, 98,
Daryabilia.
And it's just the go.
What the fuck?
He's the go and he stays healthy.
89 vertical.
He's getting up there too.
Yeah, but not crazy vertical.
I would almost guess like, that sounds like Shay to be great decent vertical, great mid-range
shot, but he doesn't have a 933.
89 vertical for Shay.
So it can't be Shays too much.
It's not.
It's not Curry.
This is 98 durability.
He plays all the time.
I'm going to go Jalen Brunson here.
For 89 vertical.
89 verticals, though?
Bro, give him a fucking 59 vertical.
It is not Jeline Brunson.
Okay.
Yeah.
89 bird like he's seen him boom some shit never in your life i have in vanilla yeah like
when he was in college yeah and when he's in the NBA who do you boom on hmm who do you boom on
be souls he was in the way release the files at least i was in the league yeah so this guy probably
plays kind of like jalen brunson but more vertical also not super fast 87 speed it's not kate is it
no okay point guard
98 durability
Oh, this is Tyrese maxi?
No.
No.
What?
Is it Jamal Murray?
No.
How was this not Tyrese Max?
Okay, 95 mid-range is very high.
That's high enough that that's probably one of the best mid-range shooters in the world.
They want to just give 95 out.
93 is like he's probably a good shooter, not one of the best in the world necessarily.
95 is like you're one of the best middies.
If we're talking about point guards, though, and guys who can get up.
Yeah, I just think Shane and Brunson with 95 MIDI.
It's not Lamello.
It's not hard in.
I don't know.
I will say
This isn't Luca, is it?
It's not.
When I saw the 98 durability, I'm like, this makes no sense.
Is it Darius Garland?
No.
98 durability makes no sense.
He does get hurt more than you would think with this rating.
95.
Yo, my best guess is a tire.
I mean, he's not Steph Curry, is it?
No.
Okay, I was like 89 vertical would be nuts, but.
It's close, though.
It's close.
Steph Curry's.
This is Damian Lillard?
Yes.
Oh, 98 durability.
Nice.
All right, 2K.
They're just saying shit.
Okay.
Other than that.
Which I guess
I see not
because even before the Achilles
he still had a couple seasons
where he was only playing like 60 games.
Yeah, 98 durability should be
you're a fucking Ironman
at least 75 games a year.
Taring your Achilles
should lower you to like an 88.
I'm not going to.
Yeah, I don't really think he'll have
89 vertical at any point
the rest of his life.
Other than that,
salute, respect.
McKill Bridges probably had like 99 durability.
105.
Yeah.
All right, next player.
We got a shooting guard
with 69 mid-range.
Damn.
97 close shot, which is like floater range.
94 layup, 25 standing dunk and 53 defense.
So this is an offensive slanted shooting guard.
It's a slashing shooting guard.
All he does is a slash.
Is this a men Thompson?
No, my bad.
53 defense.
I didn't see that.
Oh, and standing dunk.
That's a terrible guess.
So all he could do is like floaters and layups.
Is this tray?
He's not physical at all.
No.
Trey who?
Play defense.
Also, 53 might be kind of high for defense.
Yeah, definitely way too high.
You're out of your mind.
And also, he doesn't have a number.
97 close shot. He stopped picking his floaters like four years ago.
Damn. Who's only making these layers?
Saying all this is a shooting guard.
True.
The fuck is. I know.
We're just slandering trade for the two.
My bet.
Okay, at least slashing two, but that's all he does is slash.
No MIDI.
Like he don't do nothing but slash.
He's groundbound, no dunking.
Layup slashes.
That's such a weird.
It's like Jamal Crawford.
A ground.
balanced slasher.
Jamal Crawford with no MIDI though.
Hmm.
What does that sound like?
I don't know that plays not in the league.
But he doesn't sound like it's not a star.
It's a specialist like a slashing specialist guy.
It's like shade and sharp.
I don't know.
No.
I would almost think like Cam Thomas at the midrange was higher.
If I were to make this player's attributes, the mid range would be higher than 69.
Yeah.
But it's probably in theory it should be, but he hasn't been shooting that well.
Yeah.
But you might have though.
I don't know.
You think she's weird?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is this Austin Reeves?
Yes.
53 defense?
No, because that's all total defense, not just primitive D.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay, okay, he's not defending.
Okay, mid-range.
He actually doesn't shoot for mid-range shots.
He actually doesn't shoot for mid-range shots.
Like, he's not elite there.
He's kind of three in slash.
But 69?
Yeah, I mean, I'd probably be like 71 or something.
He can hit him, but.
Yeah, I was thinking like 77, 80 with the mid-range?
Yeah, because he really goes to the floater range,
which is why he has 97 close shot.
He's unstoppable in that range.
Okay, makes sense.
It's not horrible, not horrible.
Yeah, the selection of these cooked to me.
All right.
Next.
Small forward.
99 hustle.
He's moving.
99 stamina.
He never stops moving.
70 shot IQ, 64 strength, 95 hands.
Is it Matt Thompson?
No.
Lou Dort.
No.
He's got good hands.
McHale Bridges.
No.
No, he has good hands.
McHale's not putting hands in anybody.
I'm choosing to assume this is like hands.
You can tell.
Let's see.
Caruso is stronger than 64.
70 shot IQ.
Mark is smart.
No.
It's a small ford.
Oh, I can't read.
It's okay, man.
I'll join the club.
Yeah, punch my card.
Yep.
99 hustle is like, you really are just running around.
Small forwards that do that.
Asar.
No.
Not a man, not a sara.
Let's see.
Hustle.
Out west.
Try and think.
It's like Jimmy Butler.
No
You gotta be young, I think
Or it's like a bit
That all you do is hustle
I guess your thing
To get 99
You are correct with Isaac
You gotta be like Stephen Adams
Like that's what you do
You already said Lou Dorr
Right
It's a bit
No Lou
Yeah
It's like comical
To all you do is hustle
Yeah
Isn't Mcalbridges
No
No
That's very close
Dylan Brooks
Is Josh Hart
Yeah
Oh okay
It is comical
He is Mr. Hustle
Yeah
Mr. Hustle
Mr. Staminer
Okay
That makes total sense
Decently strong too
Okay
95 hands?
Y'all think he's like that?
We got to test that.
This is a good hand.
Slap box on the box.
He gets a lot.
Live.
I don't fight Josh Hart now.
Fight the slapbox.
That's not as quick.
All this smoke.
His wingspan's pretty short.
So he's taller than you.
Really?
But yeah, he is like, he has like six four wingspan, six four.
Oh, we match up perfectly.
Actually, he is probably higher six four wingspan, but it's like close to neutral.
He's, he's cooking me.
I got a look in, though.
I don't know if the guarantee.
that Josh Hart cooks you in slap boxing.
I think he does.
I don't think elite athletes are automatically good
at slap boxing specifically.
Now, I think if it was like actual...
You're like, yo, I can slap this athlete.
I mean, I have short arms, obviously.
I'm not slapboxing anybody, but you...
Well, you can get a lick in, though.
You're close enough.
I think you get a lick in on Josh Hart.
You could?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think you can compete in slapboxing
with shorter NBA players.
What was the last time you had slapbox?
High school?
Dude, I slapbox every time I see my little brother.
It's been a minute.
I slap box all the time.
2016
It's been a decade
We can bring it back though
Backs
In the TikTok time
Slide it up
I'm quicker than I was
2016
Alright next player
Last time about
Sleptbox
I got
Got
I got good
Man
I got
I got right across the face
I ate it
I kept going
Leaking though
Leaking
My nose is bloody
Oh, you got
For real
Box boxed
What?
I never seen a slap
That causes leakage
And so I was like this
Out white
I saw the blood
I was like beef stew
I was like man
Let's line this up
And we have to go right now
Did you get you get back?
Yeah we did like three times
Did you feel like you end up winning?
Yeah
Where'd you do this at in the bathroom or what?
The bathroom
Yeah like school bathroom
Oh no
No it was a
I think it's like as an adult
In the bathroom
At home
It was at an Airbnb
It was the summer after
After high school
Who are you slapboxing?
One of my friends
We got a small Ford
With a 95 shot IQ
85 driving dunk 97 layup
88 post fade and 70 hustle
28 post fade is crazy
Don't be hustling though
No this is LeBron James
This is Lebron
He doesn't hustle anymore.
He can't move that way.
Don't ask him to do too much.
He'll pose fade.
He'll hit a layup.
Don't expect hustle afterwards.
He's got to recoup.
They said J.
LeBron has a higher shot IQ than Bronn.
All right, man.
Well.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Water break.
No comment.
You got to take a sip after that one.
Wow.
Got to get a shot after that one.
Otherwise, it won't make sense.
All right.
Next player.
point guard with a 93 layup 86 driving dunk
64 overall inside scoring
90 consistency on offense and 89 agility
89 agility interesting so
he can slash layup and dunk
but overall's inside scoring isn't good
but once in all he'll get one in there
yeah is this Jamal Murray
no so I think that means he can jump high
as a high vertical so it gives him a driving dunk
but he's not the most consistent finisher
make he clearly doesn't have a good close shot
so he doesn't have a good touch I guess
Listen, is this Tyrie's maxi?
None of those were great.
Cade would make sense.
Now the offensive season high.
So I don't think it's Tyre's Halliburton.
Oh, actually, Tyreys definitely wouldn't have 86 driving duct.
Slamming shit?
No.
That'd be insane.
That'd be nuts.
Okay, well, we start there.
86 driving dunk.
Only so many point guards can get up like that.
Correct.
Pretty vertical.
But again, it's still the combination of driving dunk and bad inside scoring.
Is this?
2026 Russell Westbrook?
No.
He's retired now.
That would be hilarious.
Salute.
It's a younger player.
I'll give you all that.
Yeah.
Jalen sucks.
No, it's opposite consistency.
You'd be like 30.
Thanks.
Younger player.
Is anybody on the Raptors?
This isn't.
Oh, wait.
Is this John Morant?
No.
Nah.
It's Dylan Harper?
Yes.
Okay.
Good guess.
Yeah, we have honestly,
that lip, it's gonna be 98 by the end of this year.
Yeah.
That year two leap,
if it's going to be the best slasher at the position.
I'm surprised with how low the inside scoring was.
But it did net out all the inside scoring.
Yeah, yeah.
Makes sense, yeah.
Doesn't have like an advanced floater game or anything yet.
Yeah, also, it definitely, I'm justifying it.
It definitely is a random-ass number to keep his overall down.
That doesn't make sense.
Yeah.
All right, next.
Point guard with 64 inside scoring,
83,3, 85, hustle, 90 offensive consistency, and 94 close shot.
You love offensive consistency.
Yes.
Is this tray?
No.
You're looking for Trey everywhere.
Don't worry.
You'll find them.
Keep going.
If you make the list, man, I don't know.
Damn, I did put offensive.
It's still.
So solid hustler, you can shoot solidly, an elite floater game.
Elite.
So, it's not jockey, because 833 is way too high.
Yeah.
Maxis is going to be higher.
Maxi is a high floater game.
Probably too high.
83 is too low for three.
Also, 85 hustles.
They are very, very active.
Which sounds like Maxie a little bit.
Is it Tyres Maxi?
It is not Tyres Maxi.
Okay.
Yeah, they'll probably give like 883 at least.
94 close shot
Who's hitting these floaters?
Is Le Mello ball?
No
It's Luca Donchich
No
85 hustles seems high for
He'd be hustling
It just depends if it's good or bad
You know that's a great point
He moves fast though
That's a fantastic point
He tries hard in many things
83 close shot
You're not a knockdown shooter
You're good obviously
Yeah
But then that 94 close shot
Like there is like
Josh Giddy or something?
Is it Jim Hardin?
No.
Josh Gidey would be hilarious.
Josh Gidey, James Hardin.
Just hilarious because he's Josh Giddy.
Yeah.
Most kind of closer with Josh Giddy.
Yeah.
A little Josh Giddy.
A little Josh Giddy adjacent.
Yeah.
Yeah, you can say that.
Tyreus Halliburton?
No.
I will say he's not a star player.
Okay, closer to Josh Gidea than Tyreterian.
Yeah.
Interesting.
It's like Ty Jerome.
Tide Jerome is a nasty floater.
It's a Ty Jerome.
It's not Ty Jerome, but that's a good guess.
He's a little bit.
You're getting closer and closer.
He is a filthy floater.
Really said Jha.
So it's like a backup point?
Might not be a backup.
Okay.
Todd Jerome starts now.
Should be.
Should be a backup.
But he's going to be starting.
Okay.
We can take this some places.
We might be on to something.
Who is a mid-ass team with a backup point guard who should be a six-man?
Is Sidde McCollum?
No.
Fuck.
Not a bad guess.
Trying to think through all the roster.
I can't imagine the logos.
Kind of fried right now.
No.
You do this.
Should be a.
get back up who's on the lower tier starting point guards i'm thinking out wait oh is this d r fox
no no no no let's throw out another hand he's like a point guard shooting guard he's a combo guard
no pain picture type type type type like Marcus smarter someone i don't know no he's not starting
it's not reach shepherd he's also 90 offensive consistency and 94 close shot he can make something
happen in the paint true that's all he does yeah i'm thinking about the best get three's yeah yeah yeah
Tyler Hero?
No.
Do we mention Peyton Bridgett?
Yeah, it's not Payton Pritchie.
Brandon Pajamsky.
Correct.
Let's go.
Oh, why is he a point guard?
I thought it was two.
Yeah, he's small guard the point guard.
Yeah, they kind of was a point.
Yeah, that's a hell, okay.
Solid.
You know, fair.
This is a fair assessment of Brandon Pitchinsky.
Okay, okay.
This is a good player.
Very good player.
Everybody said he should start on many teams.
B-Pots is his guy.
He's a B-Pots guy.
He is a B-Paz guy.
I'll take that one.
I am a B-Pots guy.
All right, last player
Usually y'all throw me those
I can't take I'll take him where I can
Power forward with an 88 perimeter D
74 rebound
30 shot IQ
Jesus Christ he's brain dead
25 offensive consistency
He's also blind
And 90 hustled
Camiga
No
The 88 primitive D though
He can lock the fuck up
He's locking up and he's hustling
And he's trying very very hard
Is this a sahr?
No that's gonna be 98 my bad
No
He's also not moron
Keldon Johnson
No
I'll be damn
Kelton Johnson
has 88 perimeter defense
Power forward
Power forward that can lock up
I'm guessing he's more
3 height to be 88
perimeter D
He's not going to be like 611
With that
Otherwise he's fucking
Evan Mowley
This guy stands out so much
Like 30 shot IQ 90 hustle
Elite defender
Tumani Kamara
No
Herb Jones
No
30 shot IQ
30 shot IQ
He's okay, who are the non-shooter elite defenders
That I can't shoot a lick
Is this?
Are you targeting me?
Wait, what?
Are you targeting me at this election?
I don't know what that means.
No, this is that badgered?
I thought you were being PTSD for a second
I was like, yo, where did you go with it?
I thought you were trying to trigger me.
No, no, no, no.
Let's see all the Raptors.
Jeez.
Boy, is that close?
No one on the Raptors.
No, no.
No, okay, okay.
I won't say, I don't think he's 30 shot IQ bad
with his shot IQ.
Apparently they do.
Yeah
I think he's jack shit
Yeah
But okay but the
The perimeter defense is where we should
Land on the
Dylan Brooks
No
No 74 defensive rebound
So he is tall enough
He could really impact the boards
So he might be like 69
610 611
Is Jared
Jared Jackson
No
No he doesn't have 88 perimeter D
This is like a
That's really fucking high
Yeah
Is this dream on green
Yeah
Oh
That shit
We were just overthinking our asses off.
I wouldn't have associated Dreymogreen.
He was 30 shot IQ is crazy.
He said he should have been shooting at all.
25 offensive consistency.
Come on, man.
Come on, man.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
We got a storm the offices, bro.
That's crazy.
No, man.
The offensive consistency being low, I get it.
He was turning it over left and right last year.
I don't think his shot IQ wasn't bad.
His like past IQ was bad last year.
I also, no, he was getting ripped a lot.
So, I don't know.
Mind you, 25's the lowest.
And they're like, yeah, he's like five points higher than the lowest.
