Players complaining about their NBA 2K ratings has become a summer tradition in the league in recent years. It is common for players to participate in peer ratings, which happened earlier this week there Jaren Jackson Jr. was asked about Nikola Jokic‘s 97 OVR on the popular basketball video game.
Jaren Jackson Jr. and Trey Murphy react to Nikola Jokic’s NBA 2K25 rating 🤣
JJJ: “I wish I had 3 MVPs and you give me 97. I would go crazy.”
Murphy: “I don’t think you care at all.”

We were also surprised to see Jokic’s rating drop a point after an MVP season, so we decided to investigate if there was a pattern to NBA 2K underestimating the Serbian superstar.
Turns out, you can make a case there.
We went and compared players’ league ranking according to NBA 2K ratings to their ranking in HoopsHype’s World Ratings metric over the past 15 seasons, pointing out the biggest disparity.
Among players with at least five years in the league, Nikola Jokic had the biggest discrepancy between his preseason NBA 2K rating and his actual Global Rating that year. Even more telling: He was underrated against his Global Rating for eight straight seasons.
All-Star DeMar DeRozan came second on the list, but far away.
