He led a cavs team in points...rebounds...assists..and steals at the same time.

Dude it's common place for a star on a bad team to have high stats, that's not too impressive to me. Lebron had the ball in his hands 100% of the time in Cleveland to make plays. He should have high points, rebounds and assists. I didn't look at the stats, but I think Z or Andy had high rebounds. Also, Lebron played with all star center Z, Larry Hughes ( avg 20+ year before joining Cavs), multiple DPOY Ben Wallace, Mo Williams, Jamison and Shaq. He had a team my man. Don't believe me, then why did he win more reg season games in Cleveland than in Miami with more talent?

As far as Pippen goes he was definitely top 10 in his ear. He was the best SF in the league and took the Bulls to the ECSF to 7 games vs the Knicks. Imagine how many touches Pip didn't get cause of Jordan. Scottie Pippen could literally do almost everything well on the court which means higher ratings. You can't just throw stats out without examine them. Pip overall should be better than Melo, Durant, Love etc because he was a playmaker, ball handler, scorer and premiere defender. Only thing Lebron does better than Pippen is score, but Scottie's role was never to be the top scorer.

Playing alongside the greatest player of all time >>>>>>>>>>>leading a team that had the worst record in the league after he left to multiple playoffs and finals as the leading scorer and facilitator.

And yes. I grew up watching pippen and Jordan's ENTIRE career...I am 30 years old.

I'm a Cavs fan and they didn't suck just because Lebron left. That next year they lost Lebron, Shaq, Z, West, Mo Williams and Andy to injury. They also lost their coach and GM. So take 6 of the top 7 players off the most successful regular season team and get a new coach and GM and tell me you expect results. Lebron was the biggest part, but he didn't win 60 games by himself. If he did, he would've won at least that in Miami..... And he didn't

Pretty solid across the board. Love seems a tad bit to high but it's all good.

You guys dont remember what pippen was to the whole league back then? Did you think he was a 92 compared to his peers in his era? I dont remember people putting him that high on the pedestal back then...i strongly believe nostalgia has overrated him.

Not to mention..lebron averages his 7-8 assist averages while playing with one of the worst supporting casts amongst the jordans/kobes/etc....whike pippen got his playing with the greatest player of all time! You cannot compare both situations like you are doing.

I can no longer take anything you say seriously.

Pippen wasn't a Top 10 player in his era? Just slap yourself right now. Pippen was a top tier defender during his career, and an efficient scorer.

Scottie pretty much averaged between 5-6 assists a season throughout his career, so playing with Jordan had little to do with his consistency in that department.

The 92 rating, which is based on the 91-92 season, is fair I think. Anyone that thinks he's overrated should probably just stick to arguing about current players ratings, not legends.

How do you expect anyone whos playing with the G.O.A.T. to be a "take over the game" guy? Stop it guys. Pippen was the best SF of his time. You'd be hard pressed to find someone at his positon at that time who was better.
 
# 106 LoSoisNiCEx414 @ 08/29/12 09:50 AM
I have no problem with Ellis rating. 20ppg & 6assist for a 6"3 SG is good. Led all SGs in APG. Streaky shooter. When hes HOT hes a beast. athletic high valume scorer/shooter. After the trade he didnt take as many shots as he did with the Ws. Possible all star this yr.

Looks like the economy isn't the only thing hit by inflation this year. These ratings are hilarious.

LMAOOOOO!!!

LOL, seriously what does Iguodala do to warrant an 87? The guy CANNOT shoot, and REALLY 2K? 86 for a chucking elf who cannot defend?
 
# 109 Joobieo @ 08/29/12 10:24 AM
Popped a 92 is alright he is one of the 50 best players but he wasn't dominate to be in the 95+ range .

I've always been a fan of Iggy, but his rating is definitely inflated. Last year was probably the worst of his career, outside of shooting almost 40% from three-point land.

At the same time, not just anyone gets to be on the Olympic team, so his overall skill level is very good obviously. Maybe 2K took that into account, hence he receives a rating that isn't based solely on his performance in the most recent NBA season.
 
# 111 Monkey_Driven @ 08/29/12 10:30 AM
No one has really mentioned Love's passing ability yet. The guy is probably one of the best outlet passers in the game. He's on the money every time. It makes his rebounding ability even deadlier.

Yep, let's ignore the fact he averages 5 APG and 6 RPG as well. Yep, let's ignore the fact he's the best defender in the league while we're at it as well (Best defender on team USA during the Olympics).

SMMFH.
You're actually saying that 2K are justified to rate a guy who averages just 12-5-6 and shoots less than 40% at 3pt, an 87? He's an overrated help defender as well.

SMH.

Yeah, he shot better than Durant from 3. He's probably going to be getting a 87-88 for his 3pt rating. Not to mention On-ball defense can be a massive difference of 4-5 OVR points. And he is THE best one on one defender in the league. Lebron can guard 1-4, but he doesn't do it as well as Iggy can 1-3.

No one said anything about being a help defender. And yeah, it was expected he would take a step back in PPG because Lou Williams was out there jacking 3's, Jrue Holiday was becoming more of a force and Evan Turner was finally blossoming into his potential.

And Steve Nash, arguably one of the best 3pt shooters ever.

Like you said his on-ball d is some of the best in the NBA with 1.7 spg and 1.16 steals per foul. With Lou Williams, Jrue Holliday and Evan Turner becoming more of the focal points in the PHI offense his scoring numbers would go down but his FG% went up from the previous 2 seasons, and his 39% from is by far a career high.

I think 87 for a "Tier 2" player is pretty decent, he's not a superstar but he's pretty good.

And I can't take you serious considering you think him playing with Jordan doesn't help him achieve his assists average and his defensive efficiency. Yea..playing with the greatest scorer of all time doesn't help ones assist ratio...smh. Yea playing while not having the main scoring load on your shoulders wouldn't help you sustain energy to play elite level defense..smh. Pippen was the defensive specialist so that Jordan didn't have to expend all his energy guarding the other teams best player...this is Phil's strategy and pippen has admitted this himself...what don't you understand?

The same reason why Iggy was picked up for the Olympic team...he's didn't need the scoring load and he was picked up for his defense mainly.

You're acting like I'm saying pippen is a garbage player...he's not..he's great...he's a top 50 player...sure...but that doesn't mean he should be a 92...he's not at the top of that 50 players list and those 50 players are not worthy of 95+ in overall rating either...quit bringing that up as if that explains why he is a 92.

Don't agree much with the ratings so far

Scottie Pippen - 92 (I'm fine with it, he had an all around game. I think that he couldn't shoot yet in 92, but we'll see)
Kevin Love - 89 (again, probably accurate. 99 rebounding, shooting and decent post moves. Makes sense)
Anthony Davis - 80 (Saw him play at NCAA finals. I guess he'll be like Ibaka in the game, similar rating too. A tad too much for both if you ask me)
Monta Ellis - 86 (Really? lol Then Ginobili MUST be around 89 this year. Joe Johnson should be up there as well. This guy is overrated as hell! That 2kinsider must leave)
Andre Iguodala - 87 (Iggy is real good. I love players that do everything. and If Ellis can be an 86, well. You get the point)
Kobe Bryant - 93 (He's Kobe. If Arenas can still live with a 77 based on reputation, he can)
Carmelo Anthony - 92 (a bit high. But alright)
Rajon Rondo - 90 (way too high. How can a point guard that can't shoot from close, mid, 3pt range, nor shoot free throws have a 90 rating? Will he be a 99 everywhere else?
Kevin Durant - 95(a bit high. But alright)
Blake Griffin - 87 (again, high)
Harrison Barnes - 75 (don't know the guy much, but if a player with no nba experience can be a 75, who will have to battle for the spot with Jefferson, why are guys like Delfino or Hayward, proven starters in the league a 65 and 67 rating respectively?)

So probably the rating sytem changed. I mean, pretty much everyone feels overrated to me lol

Please stop now...you obviously only bring stats into it when they don't tell the whole story...Pippen was the best overall player in the league during his Bulls yrs...& I'd say he was a top 10 defender of all-time, no doubt about it..he didn't have to be dominate, Jordan couldn't have done it without Pip & vice versa
 
# 120 MarvinOida @ 08/29/12 01:33 PM
What's Brian Scalabrines rating? I'm expecting at least a 56 and as high as 99, and they have to correct his stroke to look similar to Ray Allen's.
