Yeah, I'm still hoping someone wants to part ways because their star isn't cutting it for them.

That, or plan B is to just reset because of my plethora if expiring contracts

When do the ratings come out? Any word?


Usually a bit after the season starts. Usually they like to see if there are any breakouts early on so they can make last second rating adjustments, as well as roster finalizations

Plus, they usually put in injuries

Looks like we won’t be getting our rubber match. So preseason will end with us 1-1 unless fate has us meet up in the bubble tourney.

So now is a good time for me to take this opportunity to say I’ma always embrace our BaF rivalry. But moving forward I’ma leave it at that…BaF competitiveness. No longer personal. Burying the hatchet.

But still gonna come wit supreme ass whoopin efforts each time we play.


My fault.

2 things:

1. I kinda forgot about things when my dog got attacked.

2. Melo stated how it seemed interest died off due to everyone running and streaming games, which was a concern of mine from the start. I didn't want my style of running games to interfere with the Bubble tourney.



That all being said, I can easily run that rubber match, if you two want...

No worries man, I know life happens and the health of your dog is what’s most important. Plus, would have liked to see the rubber match on 2k22 anyway, since it’s the most current.

So if you think it’s a possible interference to the bubble tourney, I feel you. I got no problem waiting to see if we can possibly meet up in the bubble or just wait till the real games to duke it out.

But if you or Hoffa do decide to run the rubber match exhibition on 2k20, I won’t oppose.

The thing is, and maybe being new you didn't realize this, the sim always runs a year behind. Zion only played a total of 668 minutes in his rookie year averaging 22/6/2. Playing as a fourth option on Indy last year he averaged 14/6/2. Basically only his scoring was down which can easily be explained with him being on a team with Luka, Mitchell and Towns compared to the real life Pelicans. He also played all 82 games in the sim something he is extremely unlikely to ever do IRL. Considering his situation, I would say the sim creators did well by Zion last year. If you care about "stars", I would guess that he would definitely jump up at least a full star this year. And his stats should go up just based on the fact that he should get more shots with Mitchell and Towns gone.


My guess is he has five star _potential_


I agree, I would guess he will be 4.5/5 to start the year and could easily finish 5/5.

Given that he averaged 27.0/7.2 with a TS% of .649 in 2020/21 I would hope he has a rating equal to or better than John Collins :lol: We will see. It will be sweet If I do end up with two 5 star players by next seasons playoffs.

while i disagree with a lot of the sim (they have harden as a 5-star often, when anyone with his complete lack of defensive capability deserves nothing greater than a 4), they have it more right than any other program out there.


zion will likely be a 4 or 4.5 out of 5. and that's where he should be. we still need to see if he's a 5/5 star kind of guy

Things have to be kept in perspective. If Collins is a 4.5 to 5 star player, then Zion has to be one. I have zero respect though for anyone who honestly believes Collins is a 4.5 to 5 star player. I think the BAF rater is overwhelmed and lost his basketball mind personally...
