‘NBA 2K20’ players call Kobe PD card ‘disrespectful’
This kind of tribute for Bryant has been expected to happen in “NBA 2K20,” but many gamers are calling out the developers for the stats that Mamba’s card has. It has a 96 overall rating, 89 outside scoring, 90 close shot, 90 mid-shot, 88 on the three-point shooting, 98 shot IQ, 50 driving dunk, 78 on ball passing speed, 65 passing vision, among others.
Aside from calling the card disrespectful, some fans have also started posting a side by side comparison of Bryant’s “NBA 2K20” card and other players such as Donovan Mitchell and Gilbert Arena. Another gamer even suggested that whoever decided on the stats of Bryant’s cards should be fired.
On the other hand, some players still appreciate the release of the Kobe Pink Diamond card and emphasized that it is a good thing 2K Games released it for free. These special cards are often launched behind a paywall.
Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash last January in Calabasas, California. The tragic accident took the lives of eight other people riding the aircraft, including his daughter Gianna, the pilot Ara Zobayan, and family friends Alyssa Altobell, Keri Altobelli, John Altobelli, Payton Chester, Sarah Chester, and Christina Mauser.
