NBA 2K fans can brace up for another season of excitement again as 2K have revealed its player ratings for the highly-anticipated NBA 2K24.
As usual, some of the biggest names in the game dominate on the highest ratings.
The newly-revealed ratings have also triggered reactions from basketball fans and members of the NBA 2K community with one rookie in particular stealing the spotlight.
San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama has been rated 84, the highest rating any rookie has received in NBA 2K history.
The 19-year-old French power-forward also seemed delighted with his NBA 2K24 ratings in a clip that surfaced on social media.
"That's nice, that's alright," Wembanyama said in a video where his rating was revealed, though he promised Ronnie 2K that his rating would be over 90 by the end of the season "for sure."
