“They have to protect the sacred cow” Nick Wright rips apart NBA2K for giving Michael Jordan a 99 overall

Nick Wright criticises 2K23 for Michael Jordan’s score of 99 overall. NBA 2K has grown to be one of the most popular sports games ever. The game has been released yearly for decades with a stronghold on the basketball simulation genre, and it’s not likely to slow down any time soon. Although the game is getting a lot of accolades this year for its new features and gameplay, that doesn’t imply that it hasn’t received any negative feedback.

NBA commentator Nick Wright has always been outspoken about his beliefs, and in his eyes, LeBron James, not Michael Jordan, is the greatest of all time. He has supported his claims on several occasions by reminding viewers of the moments when MJ didn’t perform at his peak on the court. And now it appears that the analyst has struck once more.

Nick Wright calls Michael Jordan the sacred cow

NBA commentator Nick Wright recently blasted the gaming studio for awarding Michael Jordan a 99 overall rating. He has fought against Jordan’s claim to be the GOAT for years, supporting players like LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo. He said “Giannis should be, but why are they all bunched up like that? And the answer is because they have to protect the sacred cow that is Michael Jeffrey Jordan. He’s on the cover, so he’s a 99. And we can’t even have anyone at 98 because nobody’s even close. So, now the top is 97, and then it’s all bunched.”

He has so far generally failed in his attempts to sway public opinion, but that won’t stop him from trying to uphold Jordan’s reputation, even if it means criticising his rating in a pointless video game. Fans were clearly unhappy about the remarks Wright made. Kevin Durant’s ratings in NBA 2K23 and the player’s tweet expressing his discontent at being rated at 96 were the topics Wright brought up to kick off the conversation.

In addition, he said that NBA 2K’s rankings were cowardly, citing the fact that NBA players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Joel Embiid, and Klay Thompson were all tied at 96, while Giannis Antetokounmpo received the highest rating in the new game—97. While some people might have agreed with Wright, others, particularly Michael Jordan enthusiasts, did not. Later, fans expressed their opinions on Wright’s remark about MJ on Twitter.
