It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was a day all NBA gamers looked forward to, it was a day all NBA gamers retched when finding out NBA 2K16’s player rankings.

NBA 2K16 dropped its rankings on Monday, and the top-10 looks like this:

  1. LeBron James – 94
  2. Steph Curry – 93
  3. Anthony Davis – 92
  4. James Harden – 92
  5. Kevin Durant – 91
  6. Chris Paul – 90
  7. Russell Westbrook – 89
  8. Carmelo Anthony – 88
  9. Blake Griffin – 88
  10. LaMarcus Aldridge – 88

Checking out Twitter and, well, we might have to Baker Act some folks. People melted down over a myriad of rankings.

Kevin Durant (despite having a broken foot) being ranked No. 5.

LeBron’s ranking (both for being too high and too low).

CP3 for being too high.

The league MVP for being ranked too high.

And for having the audacity for leaving Paul George out of the top-10, but including Melo and LaMarcus Aldridge.

Fun times down on the ol’ gamer circuit. Nice to know that out in the digital realms people still have KD’s back. Can’t wait for he and Westbrook to go beast mode in Billy D’s offense.
