Los Angeles Lakers point guard Jeremy Lin made a guest appearance in the YouTube channel of Fil-Am musician AJ Rafael to play pickup game of NBA 2K15 on Playstation 4. Upon seeing his ratings, however, Linsanity could only shake his head in disbelief.
The ratings are adjusted throughout the season and might go up and down depending on the player's performance. For instance, as AJ Rafael pointed out, the Los Angeles Lakers point guard started the season at 77 rating and later he ended with 75, hurt no doubt by Byron Scott benching him for much of the first half.
AJ Rafael and Jeremy Lin browsed through the NBA 2K15 ratings and commented on the fly. When shown that he got an F for Inside Defense, the Taiwanese-American player blurted out, "I got an F?"
"IQ B-? I done seen it all," Jeremy Lin said.
Of course, he has a right to be disappointed since the Los Angeles Lakers point guard graduated from Harvard.
"My inside scoring, which is my best asset, is C+," he said. "I quit. This game is rigged."
He then addressed the viewers, "Everybody send an email to 2K and tell them to boost my ratings."
Upon knowing that his Standing Dunk is only rated 25, Jeremy Lin commented, "25? Just because I didn't dunk this season doesn't mean I can't!"
However, it's not all bad for Linsanity as he agreed with some of the ratings such as his Steal at 80, the highest on the team, Hustle (84), Lateral Quickness (90) Speed (89), fastest on the team, Quickness (90).
Then the ratings came to Strength, which was at 35, the lowest on the team.
Jeremy Lin had to flex his muscles, "Yo, they don't know. I push my weight in the weight room. That's ridiculous."
Later, he said about the Strength rating, "That hurt."
Jeremy Lin has bigger things to worry about than his NBA 2K15 rating, however, as he's about to make a decision whether to bring Linsanity back to the Los Angeles Lakers or ship out for other teams as he becomes free agent this off-season.
