The NBA 2k franchise has become the cultural centerpiece of the basketball world. Millions of ardent followers of the NBA flock to the game to simulate their favorite players and teams. Over the decades, the game has risen to new heights owing to the explosion of the E-Sports industry. Moreover, the game’s meteoric rise also witnessed similar growth in the creator space.

‘Ronnie 2k’, a.k.a Ronnie Singh, is one of the most polarising figures in the community. Over the years, he has evolved his image from an average marketing executive in the company to a ‘figurehead’ of game development. Consequently, his reputation has also taken a massive hit in the past few years, owing to faulty promises and a lack of accountability on his part. Moreover, apart from fans, many players have also taken a shot at him. However, his recent beef with a Warriors veteran has reached new levels.

4x NBA champion and Golden State Warriors veteran Klay Thompson was enraged after finding out his rating in the game. Following the release, Thompson vehemently disapproved of the rating on his 3-point shooting rating. Though Singh isn’t responsible for deciding the ratings, his reputation as the face of the company makes him suffer the brunt of the community. Singh responded to Thompson’s outrage with an equally controversial take that added more fuel to the fire. In an interview, Singh gave the reasoning behind Thompson’s rating, which also served as music to the ears of Stephen Curry stans.

Per Singh, Thompson’s underwhelming rating is the by-product of his teammate’s greatness. 4x NBA champion Stephen Curry who bears the ‘best shooter title,’ has the highest 3-point rating in the NBA at a mind-bending 99. Singh justified the 2x MVP’s rating by declaring that he is leaps and bounds better than anyone. The above holds in the list of top 3-point shooters in the game.

Despite Singh’s justifications, Thompson continued to express his disdain for Singh and the game.
