James Harden Responds to NBA 2K Rating Drop: “I’ll Show Them on the Court”
James Harden addresses the NBA 2K rating controversy, responding to his drop from 89 to 84 with confidence: “I’ll show them on the court.” Harden’s fans are upset, but the former MVP stays focused on his game.
Bollywood Fever: As the release date for the latest edition of NBA 2K approaches, the annual debates and controversies surrounding player ratings are once again making headlines.
This year, Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden finds himself at the center of the storm, with fans expressing outrage over what they see as an unjust rating.
Harden, who was rated 89 last season, has seen his rating drop to 84 in the upcoming game. This significant dip places the former MVP alongside players like Jarrett Allen and Jalen Green—a comparison that has not sat well with Harden’s loyal fanbase.
While these players are undeniably talented, Harden’s supporters believe that his placement is a disservice to his proven track record and stature in the league.

During a recent event in Houston, Harden finally addressed the controversy surrounding his 2K rating. The three-time scoring champion, known for his on-court prowess, seemed unfazed by the drop in his virtual score.
When Emmy award-winning journalist Jason Bristol caught up with Harden to ask about his fans’ concerns, the ten-time All-Star offered a calm and confident response: “Nah, I don’t. I’m going to show them on the court. I don’t really care about my rating,” Harden said with a smirk.
Harden’s response reflects a focus on real-life performance over digital representations. As the season progresses, it remains to be seen whether the veteran guard will use this perceived slight as motivation to prove his critics wrong and remind everyone why he remains one of the league’s most formidable players.
