Gamers complaining about their NBA 2K rankings has been a summer time custom within the league over current years. Much less widespread is to have gamers griping about their friends’ rankings, which is what occurred earlier this week when Jaren Jackson Jr. was requested about Nikola Jokic‘s 97 OVR within the common basketball online game.
Jaren Jackson Jr. and Trey Murphy react to Nikola Jokic’s NBA 2K25 ranking 🤣
JJJ: “I want I had 3 MVPs and also you give me a 97. I would low key be mad.”
Murphy: “I don’t suppose he cares in any respect.”

It was stunning to us as effectively to see Jokic’s ranking drop a degree after an MVP season, so we determined to analyze if there’s a sample there with NBA 2K undervaluing the Serbian famous person.
Seems, you may make a case there’s.
We went and in contrast gamers’ league rating by way of NBA 2K ranking to their rating in HoopsHype’s World Score metric for the previous 15 seasons, figuring out the most important disparities.
Amongst gamers with not less than 5 years within the league, Nikola Jokic had the most important disparity between his preseason NBA 2K ranking and his precise World Score for that 12 months. Much more telling: He was underrated relative to his World Score eight seasons in a row.
All-Star DeMar DeRozan got here second on the checklist, however a distant one.
