I'm going to show you two NBA players, and I want you to tell me who you think has a higher rating in 2K26. Let's roll. So one player versus one player, who's better in the new game? First off, Palo Bancaro versus Jalen Williams. See, normally I would love to side with Palo and say that the aesthetic, the bag getting, all of that is better. Jada just just won a chip. He just dropped 40 points in the NBA finals. With the broken wrist. I'm going with Jadab. Jadab should be it. This is the ultimate Dap Boy Nights first nerd watcher debate. It's been dominating Twitter all year, and they have the same exact rating, 90 overall. That's fair. You know what, that's a win for the nerds. Actually, no. There's a win for that boy nights because I don't, is Powell better than him right now? I don't know. I think I might lean towards J-dub because obviously he's proven it and he's fulfilled his potential as the second guy. For Pallo, there's a couple more steps for him to reach.

Some people will say anybody who's the first option on team automatically makes him

better.

You can't compare a second option.

You know, I'd rather have the premier second option than the first option who isn't

good enough to win anything as a first option.

So when Pala develops, he should get better than J-Dub.

Like, surely, like, he has a skill set to eventually be a on-ball player.

He should have a higher ceiling, but he's not at the point of his development curve yet,

that he's quite ready for that.

And he doesn't, I don't think he'd be a better second option than J-dub. Yeah, if he was on that Thunder team, they would be so much worse. Yeah, that's a good word of phrase. he'd be worse next to Shea than J.W.

Which isn't an indictment because not everything is based on can you play with Shake Goods, Alexander?

But I think for most stars, that'd be the case.

Okay.

Neither one from are ready to lead a team to a championship. X's Shea than J-Dub is. Which isn't an indictment because not everything is based on can you play with Shaked with Alexander, but I think for most stars, that'd be the case.

Okay.

Neither one of them are ready to lead a team to a championship and J-Dub's more equipped to be a supplementary star. That's fair. Jury's still out. Cooper flag versus Paul George. Paul George's got to be better still. No, he's got to be better.

He was dropping.

He's dropping hard, but no,

Ricky hasn't played a single game.

He's a rookie, but 2K does like to do this thing where they boost up like the highly

the number. No, he's got to be better. He was dropping last year. He's dropping hard, but, you know, rookies, he hasn't played a single game.
