I'm not saying I agree with all of his ratings, since the rosters I use have him rated a little lower, but just for educational purposes:

Dude is a legit athlete.

I've seen all his games since he broke out against NJ and the ratings seem right to me. If he averages over 18 and 8 as a starter over 30 games he should go up to somewhere in the 80s. To this guy below: notice I said IF.

iknow you tried your best, but estimate has no "in" in estimate. LOL
just because people like the guy and vote for him, doesnt mean his rating should be that high. to have off. awareness that high, you're talking top 5 pg range.
and @Slava, he has not played in over 30 games this season, he really only played during this breakout. he should be at 75-78 range.

i know alot of people let ESPN program their thinking but against NY opponents online(there's been alot of them lately), Guys who start Shumpert at PG give me alot more problems because of his strength and finishing ability. Lin is nice for onball steals but everything else seems average to me. i dont have to double Lin but sometimes i have to send 2 guys at Shumpert while he has Melo and Smith on the wings which is deadly. dont get it twisted though. Miami still the best team in the game even though i dont run with the top 5 teams.

Wow.. 2k shouldn't just jump on huge rating upgrades like that. Give him a year, if he's keeping it up, bump him up a lot. For now they should have upgraded him like +5 overall, which is still a lot.

They also released his jersey as an avatar item. They only have one for each team but they made an exception for him.

So he should be a 61 OVR right now?

This is only more evidence that 2k knows nothing of actual basketball... I stopped playing this game altogether. It's the same 3pt shooting contest it's always been.

Why improve ball security and passing for the worst turnover machine in the league? Hell, IN LEAGUE HISTORY.... 1 + 1 still equals 2, right? Jeremy Lin, himself, said he felt like "HE COULDN'T EVEN DRIBBLE THE BALL" after he got exposed by the Heat.

A QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS IN RETAIL SALES AND WE CAN'T GET REGULAR UPDATES????

GTFOH.
