Depending on who you ask NBA 2K20 is either the best or worst iteration of the yearly basketball video game franchise. The popular video game series released the latest ratings for the greatest two players in the history of the Oklahoma City Thunder, making Kendrick Perkins and Ronnie2K argue over the ratings they gave Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook is far from justified.
KD got a 97 while The Brodie got 95, making him the best player to ever don a Thunder jersey. Kendrick Perkins took issue with the thought that Durant is considered a better player overall than Westbrook. He doubled down on his claim by crowning Westbrook as the best OKC man yet.
Y’all mess up a lot of people ratings so it don’t mean anything to me!!!

Naturally, Ronnie 2K felt compelled to defend the ratings team's decision to put Durant ahead of Westbrook in the All-Time Thunder team. He had a ferocious clap back to the former OKC center, who also played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics.
That’s what someone says when their rating low https://t.co/hC9jhLkCK1

It was an amazing comeback for 2K's brand ambassador, but Perkins warned the man that Ronnie “doesn't want” this argument from happening. Ronnie agreed with by replying with a shaking hands emoji.
From a storytelling standpoint, most Thunder fans will agree with Perkins that Westbrook is the best Thunder player of all time. He stayed with the team for 11 seasons when he became the only person on that Thunder roster. His triple-double seasons and countless memorable moments make him the best man to ever don the jersey.
However, the objective basketball mind puts Durant ahead of Westbrook by just a bit. KD is a clinical finisher, can provide a solid pass, and is also adequate defensively. It also helps that he's basically a seven-foot player with the speed and dribbles of an elite shooting guard.
Some are thinking that Perk is basically hating on KD due to their own feud. However, the man deserves the right to air his own opinion, and he will likely continue to smear KD's name be it on the court or online.
