Jaylen Brown 'Offended' by NBA 2K27 Player Rating on 76ers
76ers star Jaylen Brown said he was "offended" when he found out his player rating attributes in the NBA 2K27 video game.
The Philadelphia 76ers bolstered their starting lineup with the signings of four-time NBA MVP LeBron James and 2024 NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown. James has claimed four championships in his career, while Brown secured one with his prior team, the Boston Celtics. During the 2024 season, Brown emerged as a potential MVP contender, playing a pivotal role in the Celtics' successful campaign, particularly amid Celtics' star Jayson Tatum's recovery from a significant injury.
As the NBA 2K27 video game approaches its release next month, the ratings for all player models have been unveiled, with four 76ers—Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, Brown, and James—securely placed within the top 20. However, Brown expressed dissatisfaction with his rating of 91 in the game, suggesting that his mid-range shot rating might be too low and questioning his playmaking and defense ratings.
Brown's actual 2024 performance saw him average 28.7 points per game, 47.7% field goal shooting, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and one steal per game, earning him a fifth All-Star appearance and an All-NBA Second Team nod. This unexpected dip in his rating has raised questions about the game's accuracy in portraying his abilities.
