Angel Reese has built her reputation as one of the brightest young stars in women’s basketball.
From college championships to her rising profile with the Chicago Sky, her name has become synonymous with swagger, competitiveness, and impact. But according to reports, even Reese isn’t satisfied with her latest recognition—specifically, her **NBA 2K26 rating.**
This week, the popular video game series unveiled player ratings for the upcoming edition. Reese came in with a **93 overall**, a number that places her among the elite tier of WNBA players in the game. Yet sources close to the forward say she’s “frustrated,” believing the rating doesn’t fully capture her dominance.
Reese reportedly feels she deserves the game’s maximum **99 overall rating**, pointing to her combination of **on-court production, fan support, and cultural impact** as justification.
“Angel doesn’t just play the game—she moves the needle for the WNBA,” one source explained. “She believes her rating should reflect that.”
A Fan Debate Erupts
The revelation sparked immediate debate across social media. Many fans argued that a **93 rating is already elite**, especially considering how difficult it is for players in the NBA or WNBA to crack the mid-90s range.
But Reese’s supporters countered that she brings more to the table than numbers can measure. They argue her visibility, marketability, and ability to draw attention to women’s basketball make her a special case—one worthy of a 99.
Bigger Conversations About 2K Ratings
The controversy comes as discussions continue about how women’s basketball players are represented in the NBA 2K series. While the game has made strides in recent years by including the WNBA, questions remain about whether ratings and gameplay accurately reflect the league’s stars compared to their NBA counterparts.
For Reese, the dispute over her 2K26 rating is just the latest chapter in her ongoing fight for respect and recognition. Whether or not she gets her wish for a 99 overall, one thing is certain: she’s already playing a pivotal role in pushing women’s basketball further into the spotlight.
