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 in style basketball online game.
Jaren Jackson Jr. and Trey Murphy react to Nikola Jokic’s NBA 2K25 score 🤣

It was shocking to us as effectively to see Jokic’s score drop a degree after an MVP season, so we determined to research if there’s a sample there with NBA 2K undervaluing the Serbian celebrity.
Seems, you can also make a case there may be.
We went and in contrast gamers’ league rating by way of NBA 2K score to their rating in HoopsHype’s International Score metric for the previous 15 seasons, figuring out the most important disparities.
Amongst gamers with no less than 5 years within the league, Nikola Jokic had the most important disparity between his preseason NBA 2K score and his precise International Score for that yr. Much more telling: He was underrated relative to his International Score eight seasons in a row.
All-Star DeMar DeRozan got here second on the checklist, however a distant one.
