Knicks OG Anunoby Confronts Ronnie 2K Over NBA 2K26 Rating

OG Anunoby of the New York Knicks confronted Ronnie Singh, known as Ronnie 2K, about his NBA 2K26 overall rating of 87, arguing that he deserved a 92 due to his strong two-way play. The conversation reportedly took place after a dinner at the Wynn in Las Vegas, where Anunoby made detailed points emphasizing that 2K skews ratings more offensively than defensively, a claim Singh disagreed with. Anunoby, recognized as one of the NBA's elite perimeter defenders and a key contributor to the Knicks' recent playoff success, felt his impact was undervalued, especially compared to teammates like Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, who have higher ratings. Ronnie 2K defended the rating system, stating it balances offense and defense well and noted that 87 is still a strong rating, especially with several Knicks players rated above 80. Singh also revealed he has been offered bribes to alter ratings but firmly refuses, emphasizing that player ratings are based on on-court performance. This exchange highlights ongoing player frustrations with how defensive skills are weighted in video game ratings.
