NBA offseason is at its most quiet period currently. The Olympics are over, Draft Day is a distant memory, and most free agent signings and trades have already happened. NBA fans don't have much going on right now other than a few hot news pieces and speculations.
However, the biggest basketball video game series' newest edition, NBA 2k17, is not far from its release, bringing some excitement to the die hard fans of the game. With an official release date of 20th of September, the anticipation builds up, as we have recently seen with the #FRICTION trailer they dropped.
To keep things hot, 2k twitted:
2K Nation: if your favorite NBA player asks for their @NBA2K rating & screenshot, we’ll send it to them to release! Spread the word!

Following that, an avalanche of responses from NBA players surfaced asking for the release of their ratings. Lets see some of the players sharing their official screenshotted rating.
