Los Angeles Clippers forward Montrezl Harrell isn't buying the fact that he's rated lower than Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma in NBA 2K20.
When Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints tweeted that Harrell's 83 rating is one point lower than Kuz, the Clippers big man responded and said it's a “F*****g joke”
It’s a fucking joke but it’s ok 😂😂😂

Harrell and Kuzma were both great last season, but the former can actually make a case that he should have had a higher rating than the latter.
Looking at their stats from last season, there is no denying that Harrell had the edge. Although Kuzma averaged more points, Harrell averaged more rebounds, steals and blocks while having the better field goal percentage. He also played more games in just the regular season alone, and he had fewer turnovers.
Harrell had better overall numbers than Kuzma, all while playing fewer minutes per game. He was also a Sixth Man of the Year candidate.
As what most fans already know, NBA2K ratings aren't just about a performance. The game creators also rate things like quickness, speed, strength, vertical, potential, offensive and defensive awareness, hustle and a lot more. However, just by looking at those intangibles, Harrell still has the advantage.
This may look petty for some, but Harrell will now have an extra motivation next season. He will undoubtedly go on the court on a nightly basis with a chip on his shoulders.
Who knows? This might just add more fuel to the fire that will light up the rivalry between the Clippers and the Lakers next season.
