2022 NBA Finals - Game Five

Klay Thompson learned about Ronnie 2K's interview with ESPN on Monday. Due to his displeasure, Thompson made the decision to criticize the network for their choice to air 2K's poster boy.

“Y’all really interviewed this clown? I thought NBA on ESPN meant coverage of the best athletes in the world? Not interviewing a promoter ….Do better ESPN,” Thompson commented on social media.

Klay Thompson didn't care what Ronnie had to say in an interview with ESPN. To him, all he cares about is his 3-point rating in NBA 2K23. It appears the Warriors superstar won't stop hating on this man until they get Klay's rating fixed or updated. However, Ronnie did uncover some things in that interview regarding the players' NBA 2K ratings.

Who is Ronnie 2K? Here's taking a look at some of his controversies

Social media influencer Ronnie 2K is best known for serving as the face of the "NBA 2K" series. Ronnie's unique business strategy extends beyond the gaming sector and has helped him establish himself as a major player in the worlds of sports and entertainment.

Being the face of the NBA 2K brand, Ronnie has appeared as a guest to give the latest news and updates with the game. This is exactly how his controversies began. Back when NBA 2K17 was announced, he made blatant lies about the game during an interview with Rachel DeMita. She herself knew that Ronnie was trolling with his answers.

Then during the pre-launch of NBA 2K20, Ronnie announced false information that could've really helped players save a lot of money. Ronnie went on to tell everyone that players can rebuild their MyCareer players without spending extra VC. It was music to everyone's ears until NBA 2K20 finally launched. The player base was furious and started throwing shade at Ronnie.

Klay Thompson might be mad about his 2K rating, but we can assume that he's also frustrated as a 2K player as well.
