Klay Thompson savagely roasted NBA 2K23 for being 'doo doo' because he hates his 3-point rating
Well, count Klay Thompson as one of the many haters out there of NBA 2K23. Thompson has a beef with the video game.
Over the last few days, NBA 2K has been releasing player ratings as they gear up for the release of the game on September 9. And, of course, every player is never happy with their rating.
Some are nitpicky like Kevin Durant, who doesn’t appreciate the fact that he’s rated as a 96 (which is extremely high) and not a 99 (which is perfect).
But then there are some who feel totally and completely disrespected. Thompson falls in that bag.
The game dropped a screenshot of its best 3-point shooters along with their ratings. Thompson’s teammate, Steph Curry, was 99 and well above the rest of the pack.
But Thompson? He was along with Demond Bane, Kevin Durant and Luke Kennard with an 88 rating. And, as one of the greatest shooters of all time, he didn’t like it. So he posted about it.
This is what he had to say.
He called NBA 2K “doo doo” and he also pulled out the “put some respect on my name” card while calling them bums. It’s honestly classic Klay Thompson.
It’s hard to blame Thompson — he is one of the best shooters ever. But at the same time, Kevin Durant and Desmond Bane have clips, too. And Luke Kennard led the NBA in 3-point percentage last year. These ratings feel reasonable.
But Klay is Klay and he’s going to feel how he feels. Honestly, if he drops more poop emojis from this? We should be here for it.
