Jaylen Brown just dropped from a 93 to a 91 in NBA 2K27, and the Philadelphia 76ers star is straight-up “offended” by it. After what was clearly the best regular season of his career, Brown thought an increase to his rating would have been a guarantee. Guess the game developers missed a few games last year, huh?
NBA 2K Got His Numbers All Wrong
Brown, a consistent high 80s to low 90s player in past NBA 2K iterations, expressed shock at the dip. Appearing on Bleacher Report, he pointed out some glaring inaccuracies. “The mid-range is probably a little low,” Brown opined, “I’m a mid-range spammer.” He also feels his passing rating should be “a lot better.” The dude went from a 93 overall rating last year to a 91 this year. How do you go down after a season like that? He’s got a point.
Disrespect for an All-NBA Season
What makes this rating drop even wilder is Brown’s performance. His final campaign in Boston before heading to Philly was nothing short of remarkable, landing him on the All-NBA second team. He averaged a massive 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game over 71 appearances. Even in the playoffs, he kept putting up numbers, with 25.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per contest. His former team, the 76ers, finished the season 45-37, snagging the seventh seed in the East. They even stunned the Boston Celtics with a 3-1 series comeback before getting swept by the New York Knicks in the East Semifinals. After all that, a rating decrease just doesn’t make sense.
Philly’s Championship Push Just Got More Fuel
This isn’t just about a video game rating, folks. Jaylen Brown now has some serious doubters to prove wrong as the 2026-27 season gets closer. The 76ers are gearing up for a huge season with championship aspirations, having landed both Brown and LeBron James in the same offseason. Imagine that starting five, healthy and clicking, striking fear into opponents. With Brown clearly feeling the disrespect from his 2K rating and the Sixers bringing in LeBron, that 91 might just be the fire Philly needs to chase their first NBA championship since 1983. The season can’t start fast enough.
