Kobe Bryant is going to play this upcoming season with a chip on his shoulder. But you already knew that. Bryant has to prove those people who think that, at 37 years old, he doesn't have anything left in the tank. And, if he needs any more motivation, he should probably check out his overall rating in NBA 2K16.
Since NBA 2K6, where he came in at a 97, Kobe has maintained a rating over 90 until last year's game where he came in at an 89. This year, his rating got worse.
Yikes! Well, the Black Mamba will just need to add this onto the pile of other things serving as motivation for the 2015-16 campaign.
