eboK’s 2K Team Rankings

Making this team list to help owners decide what team to pick. Was gonna add graphics to this List but this shit is ass 🙁

1.BUCKS

Giannis is THANOS with snipers & locks all around him. Giannis is arguably the best player in 2K history…combine that with amazing role players & Bucks are unstoppable. You can play 5 out with Giannis running the show, run pick & roll/pops with Giannis or just let him dead zone. Either way, you lose.

BEST LINEUP
Jrue Holiday
Grayson Allen/Pat Connaughton
Khris Middleton
Bobby Portis JR.
Giannis Antetokounmpo

2. LAKERS

This team is very strong since Lebron has HOF Dimer & Bullet. HOF dimer allows AD & Dwight to green every three. With that being said you put AD at the 4 & Dwight at the 5 & you’ll lock up the paint + horse everyone. Westbrook still has all his badges & greens every shot + Melo is a SNIPER. Lakers have ELITE defense & offense…theres no weak points at all. Lakers are one of the few teams that can go toe to toe with the Bucks. AD on Giannis 🙂

BEST LINEUP
Russell Westbrook
Carmelo Anthony
Lebron James
Anthony Davis
Dwight Howard

3. NETS

Nets are a well rounded team with 3 ELITE ball handlers in Ben Simmons, KD & Kyrie. the tricky thing to this team is wether you wanna use Ben or Drummond at the 5 or try to play both at the same time. Ben is good at center but he can easily get horsed. Drummond on the other hand might be a top 5 center on the game. all though this team is stacked with talent you just cant draft anyone to play with this team. Someone like Kuhrow on Ben Simmons is a real sheet shitter. To use this team to its full potential you need 4 top tier players in the league on 1 line.

BEST LINEUP
Ben Simmons
Kyrie Irving
Joe Harris
Kevin Durant
Andre Drummond

NEXT BEST
Kyrie Irving
Seth Curry
Joe Harris
Kevin Durant
Andre Drummond/Ben Simmons

4. 76ers

76ers have the 3 things you want on its 2k. An ELITE ball handler, a DOMINANT lock & a big. Thankfully for the 6ers Embiid is the best center on the game, Harden is top 5 ball handlers, & thybulle is up there for one of the best locks. Then you have Tobias who will green every shot along side either Danny Green or Tyrese Maxey at the 2. 76ers are loaded & you would have to try very hard to lose with them. I could see someone messing around with a lineup of DeAndre Jordan at the 5 & Embiid at the 4…could be GLITCHY.

BEST LINEUP
James Harden
Danny Green
Matisse Thybulle
Tobias Harris
Joel Embiid

5. CLIPPERS

Clippers are very good & strong team but they can be difficult to play with. I say this because Zubac is a decent center but he has 26 speed turning him into the Croatian Zombie. So with that in mind you NEED a dominant Kawhi & Paul George. kawhi is a MEGA LOCK & will clamp anyone he guards. Paul George has good handles, can green, poster & play ELITE defense. So you would have to find the right balance of VBA players to make this team work. With the best lineup I posted you would have Paul George guard rim. He has all the defensive badges you need at center & he’s big enough to where he can do it. 🙂

BEST Lineup
Norman Powell
Paul George
Kawhi Leonard
Nicolas Batum/Marmus Morris SR.
Robert Covington

NEXT BEST THING
Norman Powell/Luke Kennard
Paul George
Kawhi Leonard
Robert Covington
Ivica Zubac

6. GRIZZLIES

Grizzlies & Clippers are interchangeable in my eyes. Whatever team suits your VBA playset is the one you should go with. Grizzlies have everything you need with an ELITE ball handler in Ja, 2 locks in JJJ & Brooks followed by an ELITE horse Steven Adams. bane is also a complete sniper…this team is so souped & loaded. JJJ can guard ball & the rim dude is insane.

BEST LINEUP
Ja Morant
Desmond Bane
Dillon Brooks
Jaren Jackson JR.
Steven Adams

7. WARRIORS

Warriors are a hard team to play with but they are very good in the right hands. You need someone who can 3 hunt effectively with Curry while also having great role player users. Looney is ASS & Wiseman isn’t much better. Klay & Wiggins r souped but Draymond is VERY hard to constantly green with. So if you cant meet all the requirements to make this team good then you should stay away from the Warriors.

BEST LINEUP
Steph Curry
Klay Thompson
Andrew Wiggins
Draymond Green
James Wiseman/Kevon Looney

8. SUNS

The Suns are good but at the same time you need the right users for them to work. 1. CP3 is solid but is hard to use on offense since he is short, has a slow shot & doesn’t have good finishing badges. 2. Ayton is solid but Mcgee is essentially the better center on 2k. Ayton can green mids & threes plays good enough D & can horse a little but Javale is just a super horse & is athletic af. 3. Mikal bridges nor Cpu is a LOCK LOCK. Bridges is fine but he isn’t ELITE by any stretch. 4. Booker has shit handles so he’s a spot up shooter. So what I’m saying is if you don’t have ELITE users then pick an easier team to use.

BEST LINEUP
Chris Paul/Landry Shamet
Devin Booker
Mikal Bridges
Cam Johnson
Javale McGee/Deandre Ayton

9. HAWKS

Hawks have an ELITE ball handler in Tare Young & an ELITE center in Clint Capela. The thing the Hawks are lacking is a perimeter lock. De’Andre Hunter is a decent lock but you would much rather have the 2k23 Hawks roster with Dejounte Murray. Kevin Huerter is a sneaky good player & John collins is very solid at the 4. The Hawks are very good if u get an ELITE ball handler & ELITE center. This team is can be a better version of the Warriors if played correctly.

BEST LINEUP
Trae Young
Kevin Huerter
De’Andre Hunter
John Collins
Clint Capela

10. JAZZ

The Jazz are a very interesting 2k team. They have a good ball handler in Donovon Mitchell & the best rim protector Rudy Gobert. Royce O’Neale, Mike Conley & Donovon Mitchell all play solid perimeter defense. Rudy Gay has ALWAYS been GLITCHY in 2k so you start him at the 4. Even tho I have the Jazz at the 10th ranked team, I could easily see someone win the Finals with them. They’re just a super braindead team that can beat almost anyone.

BEST LINEUP
Mike Conley
Donovan Mitchell
Royce O’Neale
Rudy Gay
Rudy Gobert

FRINGE TEAMS

NUGGETS
PELICANS
CAVS
HEAT
BULLS

Interview with HoLLyBlaCkWooD, Call Mee Kyle, Lomstar & LA CHAOS225

I caught up with the Suns lock HoLLyBlaCkWooD & the Grizzlies owner Call Mee Kyle for a quick interview.

HoLLyBlaCkWooD

How confident are you going into your matchup vs CLEVELAND CASH & the Memphis Grizzlies? Whats your series prediction?

Im extremely confident going into my matchup with Cleveland Cash & the Memphis Grizzles! All season we’ve preached team defense and we trust in that! We have excellent defensive anchors in x KING JON x & MRxxUSERxxPICKx, couple that with my on ball capabilities improving as the season continues, yeahhhh bitch! ! Series Prediction — eh Im not a big fan of those — But Id say that if we play our game and leave it all on the floor this series should be over in timely fashion !

So since you believe the Suns will move onto the finals. Who do you think will come out the East? Also do you think any of the remaining 3 teams can compete with yall? (Bucks, Nets, Grizzlies)

its gonna be a dog fight on the East between the Bucks and the Nets ! Giannis vs KD It honestly can go either way — but from what Ive seen is you gotta bet on Giannis, its just that simple. And do I think any of the remaining 3 teams can compete with us? No — its literally just Us bro. We are our biggest competition remaining in these playoffs. Simple

Some people have been doubting that User Pick is the MVP…What do you have to say to that? Are people just salty?

Salty … tuh ! Listen Linda — for anyone to say that Pick doesn’t deserve MVP while being at the top of the league with fuckin Landry Shamet can drown in Pelican Bay and thats on Mary and her Little Lamb tf ! But to answer your question –> Y E S <– he is the MVP , fuck we talkin bout

Do you think YoGuardBron is the ZEUS of 2k?

Id never call anybody Zeus on this shit ass game and thats word to my nigga x KING JON x

Call Mee Kyle

How confident are you heading into your WCF matchup vs the Suns? What do you think the outcome of the series will be?

Honestly very confident I threw 5 together the last week of the season just to show up for the game and beat them. I think this series goes 5 games grizzlies 3 suns 2 cash beats picks line in game 5 Jon gets dropped off by woody in game 5 like what happened in the regular season when he was facing saver

So since you believe the Grizzlies will move onto the finals. Who do you think will come out the East? Also do you think any of the remaining 3 teams can compete with yall? (Bucks, Nets, Suns)

I honestly think the bucks come out the east don’t really know much about the nets think the finals will be close just based on them having the bucks

I’ve been hearing that players on the Grizzlies felt cheated that they didn’t win some awards…Do you feel the same way? Also do you think this is the driving force behind your teams level of play?

I think cash should of won mvp definitely pick played weak teams in my option and people can say cash had a star but the other 9 owners could of picked the grizzlies but didn’t. In my opinion Eli should of gotten sf of the year averaged 30 with brooks. I think the awards will be why cash line wants to beat the suns more and more

Do you feel like this szn is a ring or bust or would you be alright if your team lost the WCF?

No I don’t think so we been the underdogs all season they projected us 3 or 4th in the west before the season started so I think we’re gonna prove the doubters wrong

Would you call all the people low iq who have questioned your trades this szn?

Honestly switzo is good player but he didn’t show up for his playoff game which made them forfeit so I think we made a great decision there. Wish we kept Kurupted but confusion happened making that happen. eboK trade was great he was an easy beat for us in the 1st round of the playoffs.

Do you think YoGuardBron is the ZEUS of 2k?

He’s good player just don’t think he’s the best player in the league that’s my opinion though

Revolves caught up with the Bucks owner & Nets GM for an interview.

Lomstar

How confident do you feel going against a super team 2k wise of the Nets?

Im confidant in my team. This is a video game though shit happens lol

You guys already won game 1, so what does your team need to do in order to keep winning?

We have to be available lol. Lord and zhas line have mostly been available but between messed up trades and availability our hardest thing is to be available

What do you have to say to some people saying you’re only in the offs because of the bucks?

In fine with that. Thats one thing about me I dont care about the talk. There is only one winner each season and we dont have one yet

If you advance to the finals, who do you believe you’ll be playing there and why?

If we do make it i think we will be playing the Suns. Dont get me wrong grizz can get there but I think it will be suns. Both haden and Kyle put good teams together and i know it will be a dog fight between them and then another from whoever comes out the east

You were previously suspended during the season, but never had a chance to talk about it in an interview. Can you say your side of the story for the whole VBA to see? Did you believe it was the right thing?

I was suspended because they say i didnt put stat in. I put every stat in and “somehow” they disappeared. I wasnt even given a chance to put in again. I was going to appeal but just took the game. Dont want to bash staff so i wont get too deep into it (pause) but i definitely hope they are better for upcoming seasons

If you win it all, will you return as an owner next season?

No i will not be returning as owner. I was owner first season because i am an of of vfl and vba so i definitely want to see it at the top but im cool on owner for now lol. I still see guys with the same mindsets and the same childish bullshit from 10 years ago and i really dont be trying to deal with that. I will be a player and get guys to sign up every year and spread the word but no owner for me until there is no bias and everything runs damn near perfect which i hope happens but i doubt it

If Ebok was next to you right now, would you slap him or shake his hand?

I would do neither. I stay away from tough guys because they scare me and when im scared
Lmao…na i wouldnt do shit. This is a game i talk shit but i really dont care. I just want everything to be even on all sides and we are good in any situation

Do you have anything to say to the people of the league for your last question?

I appreciate everyone who tried to keep the league going and i hope we can push it far. Thanks to the owners who stuck with it and didnt give up. Thanks to the players who kept fighting win or lose. Thanks to my team because we definitely went through a lot behind the scenes lol. Hope to see everyone season 2 and hopefully that will be with me a champion but win or lose ill be there

LA CHAOS225

How confident do you feel about beating the bucks with arguably the best player on 2k(Giannis)

I feel confident the first game we had against them was the second time they beat us and I don’t think they can beat us in a 5 game series

What things do you need to do as a team to secure those wins?

Need to move the ball and hit our shots make them help

Who in your opinion is the most toxic of the league and why

Trying to get me in trouble lol, But honestly I think it is fab but I like the beef ain’t no hard feelings

What made you guys decide to do the aids lineup(ben and drummond) instead of a 5 out?

Defensive purposes and Ben doesn’t have great rebounding Drummond has a 94 offensive rebounds and 97 defensive so we won’t get out boarded

If your team advances, who do you believe you will play in the finals and why?

Don’t care. We winnin it all.

Sorci’s ECF/WCF Finals Predictions

VBA CONFERENCE FINALS

With the VBA season coming to an end, 4 teams are left fighting for a title. I take a quick dive into who I think will win the conference finals matchups & why.

ECF

The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn has made it this far with an unorthodox line up but it’s clearly been working in their favor. The bucks in my opinion should be able to take this one, they’ve been consistent all season and have the BUCKS, but a 5 game series between two of the best NBA teams in the game can certainly go either way. The nets don’t really have a game plan, they’re play style is a lot of movement and brain dead drives, while the bucks definitely have more of a strategic play style, led by Giannis. With that being said I think the Bucks win 3-1 with ease.

WCF

The Memphis Grizzlies take on the Phoenix Suns

Now this should be a very good series. Both teams are led by MVP candidates. I think Cleveland Cash has something to prove against this team. The suns do have more depth, with both lines having a combined 1 loss , I’m not sure how the grizzlies second line matches up with the suns second line and that may be where Memphis struggles. The suns have been rolling all season but I don’t see this series going how the season went, it’ll be a close one. With that being said I have the Suns winning a nail bitter 3-2.

June 26, 2022 by AbyssZl

eboK’s WCF Prediction

I have the Grizzlies winning this matchup 3-2(CLEVELANDs line 3-0, Kyle line 0-2). I believe that CLEVELAND CASH will be able to DOMINATE on offense while the PFoty in my eyes CLUTCH KING will lock up any & everybody he faces. This Grizzlies line has some of the best role players in the league in Wade, Eli & Woohdy. With that being said they’ll have to defeat the MVP USERPICK in order to get to the finals but I don’t think it’ll be a tall task for the Grizzlies. Even tho I voted for User Pick for MVP I think CLEVELAND CASH has had the most impressive season out of everyone in the VBA. He came into the league with no line set in place & told Kyle to get him whoever…not many people have the BALLS to do that. If cash was able to beat the Suns during the regular season he would’ve easily won MVP. Even tho King Jon is a top 3 Center in the league I just don’t know how he’ll be able to stop JA from scoring AND get the rebound over Steven Adams. This is exactly what happened in the Memphis vs Golden State matchup. Ja would miss a layup/dunk & Adams would Horse Draymond or Looney since they had to contest Ja. If Phoenix wins this series it’ll have to be off King Jons back.

I caught up with CLEVELAND CASH for ONE important question.

Do you think YoGuardBron is the ZEUS of 2k?

FXCK NO HAHHAHAHAHHAHAH HE CAN’T GUARD ME!!!!!!!! 3-0…

Interview with F3AR & R3dH0ur

With the playins being today & tomorrow I caught up with the GM of the Lakers & the Owner of the Clippers for some questions.

F3AR

I’m sure you had high hopes coming into the season. Are you disappointed in your teams regular season success? Anything you wish u did differently?

I wouldn’t say I’m disappointed in the season considering it was looking pretty bad at the start and we had quite a bit of roster turnaround. And there’s definitely things I wish I did differently ( can’t speak for Shady ) but I think there’s still time for that to change. Hopefully it does in the playoffs.

As GM of the Lakers how confident are you going into your playin matchup vs the Clippers?

I’m pretty confident going into the series. I’d expect it to be a 2-0.

Who will be the key to the Lakers success?

It’s tough to pick 1 person, but I’d have to say our role players (Melo and Monk ) if they stay ready to shoot and hit their shots I don’t think there’s a team we can’t compete with.

So you said your team can compete with anyone. If you do beat the clippers & move on you will be facing the Suns. How do you see that series going? 3-0 Lakers?

The series vs the suns will be tough no doubt. But every time we play them we compete for 2-3 quarters and it’s a close game and then we break down for 1 quarter or have a bad stretch and they just keep scoring. So I think if we can stay composed and play full games of basketball it will be a good series.

Do you think YoGuardBron is the ZEUS of 2k?

R3dH0ur

As owner of the Clippers how confident are you going into your playin series vs the Lakers?

Very confident. I know farah’s line will perform great and even though a lot of changes with my line and a lot of things have back fired. I have a feeling we can get past the lakers.

Whats your prediction on your series? 2-0 clippers?

It’ll be close but I believe we can pull it off. 2-0 clippers.

I know you’re happy with the Kxng clan line but do you wish you drafted differently for your other line?

Tbh no, I’m the type that likes to give others chances. only downfall we didn’t practice enough and that was on me due to busy schedule.

If you do end up advancing past the Lakers what are your expectations for this team? A cinderella run to a championship perhaps?

That’s going to hard to do. If we get past the lakers we play the warriors next? that would be a fun game to be in us against bron and mizz. they play amazing but we have a chance. if we get past them and probably end up playing against the “let kill R3DH0ur” suns. I swear every time I play against king jon and userpick. it never ends well but it could change. it just depends on how my line performs. I Kxng line will do amazing like they have been. it’s my just line.

You would play the Suns next round.

Clippers vs 1. Suns
Grizzlies vs 3. Warriors

I really want to beat the suns. they are so good. but I want to have one more shot and try to win one against king john and userpick.

June 20, 2022 by AbyssZl

Interview with Gabe iLy & DJ

With the playins being today & tomorrow I caught up with the GM of the Heat & the Owner of the Celtics for some questions.

Gabe iLy

As GM of the Miami Heat. I know you had high hopes/expectations for your team. Are you disappointed that your team went 9-14 & ended up in the playins?

Not really cuz we had to weather an egregious amount of availability issues to even get to this point… I tried my best to acquire enough talent to make a consistent line 2 and when they were all able to actually play, they looked pretty good. Also the heat are terrible tbh and I doubt any1 would do much better with them.

How do you think your series will go vs the Celtics? 2-0 sweep?

Yes.. I actually thought they were going to ff tbh… But we will do what we must. I actually respect the hell out of Dj for stepping up as owner for that team and working extremely hard to get games in when other teams that are WAY better than the Celtics continued to just ff.. Celtics are the only team worse than the heat IMO.

Do you think YoGuardBron is the ZEUS of 2k?

He’s Def 1 of the best players in this league imo… He should win sg of the year with klay, which is impressive cuz i don’t really think klay is that good tbh. If he was on a better player I think he could do alot more honestly.

Political answer.

^truth

DJ some would say you did a great job as owner givin the circumstances you were put in. With that being said how confident are you heading into your playin series vs the Miami Heat?

Tbh if we show up to play and slow the ball down and put the ball in the right hands I can see is winning in 3

Who do you think will be the key to your team’s success vs the Heat?

Dudda or Kdot

We know you took over the Celtics late in the year but with that being said. What would be your dream lineup?

CLEVELANDoCASHo
KING MIZZARK
Gabe iLy
eboKtsoP
Kurupted Nyx
From wat games I have seen

Do you think YoGuardBron is the ZEUS of 2k?

Care to elaborate?

Very guardable

June 11, 2022 by AbyssZl

Exclusive Interview with x KING J0N x

Question 1: Can you elaborate on the rumour about you requesting a trade from the Suns?

Answer: The suns are full of friends but they have ass tendencies on the court. Its like playing with JR Smith. You dont know which skill is showing up. Its a love hate relationship. Our original plan was for me to play guard this season and have fun. With pick signing up last minute, the game plan was to try hard with him. I know its a free league but when a defense is atrocious, i will spazz even if they are my friends. I don’t mind losing. But everyone who knows me knows I love defense. I love rotations. I love swinging. I love communication. We have potential to flood every line and every team in this league. No bullshit. I personally think everyone is ass and the way we built, noone should beat us in a series. Its when we dont play to that potential, that bothers the fuck outta me. The rumors began after the 76ers game. We lost by 30. We forgot how to play the game. We played like we were the celtics users. That’s unacceptable. We only lost 2 games and its not that serious but games like the 76ers game builds bad habits. So me spazzing about the defense lead to those rumors. We’ll get right though. It doesnt help that everything i say in general chat is a troll.

Question 2: You currently average 19.9 RPG, second in the league in total rebounds too. Which users in the league do you get excited to play against aka the shitters at Center?

Answer: Im licking my lips against the celtics (either line) and clippers (redhours line). I can play them with half a bottle of tequila down and still probably get 30 rebounds. I also think both Anthony Davis users are free pussy. Ill just play them sober

Question 3: After the sixers game, Saver posted a screenshot in the General Chat of him dropping 50 & 20 on you. He also said “DID I KILL THE SUNS DYNASTY”. What do you have to say to that? Do you think that game was a fluke and that they’re overhyping themselves, or do you think they really like that?

Answer: I dont think it was a fluke or that they’re over hyping them selves. Compared to average league skill, they’re good. They deserved that win. We played like complete shit and forgot how to play the game. If we play to our full potential, i dont think they’re touching us in a series tbh. I personally dont see anything special. They are good though. Its just up to us to show up every game

Question 4: In your honest opinion, rate the top 5 users in the league

Answer: Without dickriding, I dont think theres a top 5. I think theres 4 tiers in the league. Fab and Pick are in the first. They are the complete players. The second are players like mizzark/bron/gabe/saver/swizz/ruthless/king/etc who are really freaking good players and can carry lines but have weaknesses. The third are the average VBA players who arent special but do their job like myself. And the 4th are the shitters

Question 5: Are the suns keeping you in prison? If yes, where are your top destinations if you were let go?

Answer: They are definitely keeping me in prison. The owner trolls the fuck outta me. He is only good if hes high. If hes sober, he might be the worst shooter in the history of 2k

If i had a choice, id play with the warriors with gee/bron/mizzy/ebok. Or Heat with Gabe/Fab/Kuhrow. Other than that, nothing else interests me

After the 76ers dropped 50 on me, fuck them and their whole roster on some 50 Cent shit

Question 6: The lakers took away youngshot from AD and put him as Melo on a line with Fear x Painkiller as AD… What do you think about the lakers management making that move, resulting in a trade request rumour from Youngshot?

Answer:I think its a selfish decision by their owner/gm. I think youngshot is the best player on that team defensively. Thats not what melo provides. If they wanna stack a line, put shady or fear on lebron, fear/shady on westbrook, youngshot on AD, smoove and shig to round it out. Putting Youngshot on a role player is wasting his talent and the teams chances to win. Anything outside of that is low iq

Final question: Any other comments you’d like to say before we end this interview?

Answer: If you need to learn how to shoot, dont go to goodfella jokers camp. I don’t care about your time but thank you for the interview

VBA Week 2 Owner Interviews

Now that week 2 has finished, there seems to be a good understanding so far of how playoffs will look like. For this week’s owner to interview from the West, I had Warriors owner King Mizzark answer a few questions.

Question 1: Your team is currently 5-7 and tied for 7th. Going forward, what do you guys need to do differently to win more games?

Answer: No more ECUs. Especially at C for the Warriors we are already at a disadvantage and having to play with different lineups every game/week hurt chemistry.

Question 2: It’s obvious that people hold you to a high standard in the league. Judging by your team record, do you have anything to say to people who would think you’re an easy win now?

Answer: I haven’t really played this 2k and my team will be ready & scary by playoff time. This 2k is braindead and its not hard to abuse the paint and beat the warriors. I’ve yet to see 1 of these ballhandlers dribble and shoot a 3 behind a screen so lets see next season who gets the warriors and how they do.

Question 3: Which team from each conference do you believe is your most comp and why?

Answer: Suns, good players and a good record. Nets, terrible matchup for Warriors

Question 4: If you can build a ‘dream team’ lineup in each position with any player in this league, who would you pick and why?

Answer: Without listing anyone on the warriors on my “dream team” so with that said….

Fab

Userpick

King John

Gabe

The Vets

From the East, we have the Celtics owner answering a few questions, Foe Mac!

Question 1: Your team is currently last with a record of 2-10. What do you guys have to do to switch it around?

Answer: We had some controversy we had to go thru in the beginning of the season so I think our record doesn’t really show how good we could be but we just gotta keep fighting taking it game by game and we are feeling good with getting our first 2 Ws this week

Question 2: Do you have anything to say to people who think you’re an easy game in their schedules?

Answer: That’s what we want teams to think so they take us lightly and end up losing just like the bucks and lakers did this past week

Question 3: After getting your first 2 wins, how good do you predict your team will do for the upcoming week(record wise)? Any notable teams you believe you will beat that you play?

Answer: For this week I think we’ll go over 500 and I think we could beat any team we play

Question 4: Naming anyone else in the league, including owners and gms, rank the top 5 users

Answer: My top 5 in no order would be

1. Fab

2, Mizz

3. Gabe ily

4. Me

5. Easy money

VBA Week 1 Owner Interviews

After finishing off week 1, I went and picked two different owners to interview ahead of the new week. To start off, the first interview on the west is the Suns owner, Goodfella Joker!

Question 1: After finishing the first week 5-1, how confident do you feel about your team going forward?

Answer: Very confident. I said in my owner interview that I could build a championship team and I feel like I did just that. Anything less then success would be disappointing 🤮

Question 2: Which teams do you think will give you the toughest time to play against?

Answer:The warriors and grizzlies 🙄 the warriors users and as a 2k team gonna be tough to beat. And grizzlies have a very tough line with cash and Eli going crazy 👀 plus the nets seem solid

Question 3: Which team in each conference do you think are the easiest to beat, aka the worst in your eyes, and why?

Answer: In the west Clippers.. I don’t even think that’s a question those users just ain’t it man stick to madden boys. In the east Celtics obv. Even when they showed up it wasn’t really a challenge and I don’t see the new Celtics being any better but at least they will show up.. right 😅

Question 4: You put together a line with your first 2 picks(Pick & Jon) together. Did you purposely stack a line, or should people not sleep on your line with Primo?

Answer: First off I don’t give af about stacking lines lol I honestly believe my team has the most complete 2 lines tbh even if others feel differently 🤷🏾‍♂️ Primo is like 3rd in assist and pretty high up in steals plus me and ruthless are like top 7 in scoring with kelz top 3 in rebounds and revolves seems to not miss with cam so teams can sleep if they want I’m chucking 🤷🏾‍♂️ Fuck Jon 🖕🏾

Next off, the owner of the East to interview is the Sixers owner, Drock!

Question 1: You guys finished with a 3-3 record in week 1. Should we expect more wins this week?

Answer: Yes 100% expect more wins this week last week we were playing with lineups trying to see what works I feel like now we have the dialed in and ready to compete to our full potential

Question 2: You guys traded for and picked up players like switzo and citris for example. What made you do so, knowing that you lost your first pick Ebok and others like blksupersaiayn?

Answer: We felt like we didn’t draft good as we would have like so we worked hard in the market to make some moves when some talented player hit the block we got to work on the phone. As a owner the process of building a team doesn’t end after the draft. You continue to look to build in trades and free agency

Question 3: Do you believe you will get past the east and compete in the finals? If yes, how easy or difficult do you think your path will be?

Answer: I believe we have potential to go all the way and it won’t be easy. If it was easy it wouldn’t be fun and I wouldn’t be pushing my guys as hard as I am. I think we have the right team and right staff to bring a championship back to Philly. Our fans deserve it and this city deserve it as well

Question 4: Who do you think are the top 5 users in the league? Rank them from 1-5

Answer:

1. Bron

2. Cleveland

3. Kurupted

4. Saver

5. Citrs

Nates Post Draft Power Rankings

10. Steelers

This team has an interesting roster. Their first two picks are questionable at best. The best QB on this roster is signed up at WR. Behe is a good veteran player. They do have a few solid players on the team but for the most part this team is (bree)suss.

9. Patriots

The roster on this team has a few studs starting off with Shady on xbox and 1^st round pick tmo. Out side of them they have a couple seasoned vets and some people they maybe meant to draft in the VBA and not over here (whoops). I just don’t like the patriots TEAM but if tmos 3-3-5 keeps balling out they may be able to survive. Ezakimak MUST play QB or we (I) RIOT.

8. Dolphins

The Phins have some household names on this roster. I’m sure Kuhrow will find a way to get pressure with that d-line. A big position change will be Gabe playing QB. I’m sure he will be fine but it’s hard to judge when you’ve never seen it before. Can we get my RB Smoove (I was his QB FIRST) a good running back for a full season to use for once?

7. Falcons

This could be the sneaky roster that I think I may have ranked too low led by McCoy. Just kidding! Dirty and TXJamesSmith are good quarterbacks and if you ever needed good ones it’d be this season. Hopefully Dirtys schedule is more open this season so he can have more success. I am tempted to rename this team “Cover 3 Beaters” I guess we will wait and see.

6. Eagles

What do we have here? Another solid roster put together by areis featuring two good qbs in Hutch and Warpath. A good running back in King Jon, and one of the nicer dbs in the league JP. This is a team I could see going higher but not too far lower.

5. Raiders

(Sorry I have to do it) Daaaaaa rraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaidaz edged out the Falcons and Eagles just because of their team. Ty is a good QB and he got his boy orlando. (SB champs) They do have some Qbs that need to prove themselves this season and the fan favorite MR JOHNNY MF*KN WHEELS!! Don’t get it twisted!!!

4. Colts

Did I mention they have Jonathan Taylor?? A really good madden team + good players = success. A lot of familiar faces from this past Super Bowl which is no surprise. Not only are five of the winners returning, they also got runner up Ace Boogs and the previous seasons undefeated, undisputed, GOAT Marcdog. This team could make a deep run with this loaded roster. Sometimes drafting people who have been there/done that may not have the greatest regular season but once they get in the dance, they know how to win.

3. Saints

My favorite team pick this season slides to number 3 post draft. They have one of the best Qbs in the league in Ponchy whos coming off of a tough out last season with the Seahawks. They drafted good role players in Outaker and Kwame. Mocarbone is a decent quarterback. Solid roster all around, would be surprised if they missed playoffs.

2. Commanders

Welcome back Beaste, you did it again! Built a very good roster that rivals the number one spot and wouldn’t be surprised if they won it all. Player to watch is going to be the 3^rd QB KoolAiDz who’s been back on madden for all of a week! We will see if Beaste’s Super Bowl winning ways can rub off on Kirk Cousins, I mean, Kxng Champ. It’s not always about the regular season numbers, we will see if that changes this year.

1. Bengals

Realest put himself together a great roster this season with arguably the best TEAM selected to use. Abyss is the two-time reigning MVP at QB and looks to go for his third. Brady is looking to make a deep run in the playoffs this season and he will finally not have to carry the team on his back like he has previously. With this ranking comes expectations, no excuses.

VBA Season 1 Owner Interviews: Pre-Season

Welcome to the beginning of owner interviews. Each week I will be picking two owners for them to answer questions. One owner from the West and one owner from the East will be chosen.

The owner from the West that will be interviewed today is Call Me Kylee, the owner of the grizzlies!

Question 1: What made you want to choose Cleveland Cash as your gm?

Answer: Honestly just wanted a good player as the GM because it’s basically a free player so no reason to have a bum in that spot, we ran a lot of in house games prior to the owner announcements.

Question 2: Having the #1 overall pick of the player draft gave you a huge decision to make. What made you trade away Switzo, but also trade away your second pick Kurupted?

Answer: Honestly I thought switzo knew Kurupted like that and Kurupted wasn’t replying to my messages so I thought he wanted out as well but found out after we traded him that he barely even knew switzo and would of played with us

The reason we traded switzo was because draft night he made us look stupid saying trade me in the twitch chat multiple times so I gave him his request by trading him

Question 3: How well do you believe your team will do this season, even knowing that you have some tough competitors in the West?

Answer: Honestly we got a decent chance mizzark team gonna be good they got a few Chicago hoppers there aka best 2k city users around. The suns gonna be good as well once they figure out there bookers I think ruthless should be on booker

Question 4: Do you have anything you’d like to say to Switzo and Kurupted right now for the league to see? If not, anything you’d like to tell the league?

Answer: Definitely regret trading Kurupted he’s been on my teams in past years where we won this league. But for the league I’m excited to play this season and good luck to all the other teams

The team in the east that will be interviewed today is the Heat. Gabe iLy, the GM of the Heat, will be interviewed and answering questions for both of them!

Question 1: What made you and Fab decide to join together as Owner and GM after Farah decided to step away?

Answer: We’ve played with and against each other going back to 2k16 and it’s always fun. Coming into this season we both talked about maybe teaming up and Farah stepping down gave us an opportunity to do so

Question 2: If you had the opportunity to pick your own team, would you have still picked the Heat? If not, then why?

Answer: No, they are a great defensive team but with how potent defense is on this game, great users can make up for a lack of good d players like butler or bam… The real difference between top 2k teams is the star power at ball handler.. Guys like Ja, harden, curry, Murray,etc put so much pressure on a defense with their ability to change direction so quickly 3 hunt and also attack the paint…. Heat don’t really have that which is unfortunate… I would’ve likely traded down and picked the Nuggets

Question 3: Who do you believe is your biggest competition in the East going into the season?

Answer: Def the sixers with their most recent acquisitions of switzo and kurrupted who in my opionon are 2 of the best players in the league.. that gives them Elite users on the 2 most important roles on the team (harden and joel)… They have a better 2k team than us aswell.. I’m still confident we will come out of the east but I’m curious to see how some of these teams perform.. *Celtics users are good imo but that 2k team is by far the worst in the league which is y I don’t ultimately consider them our biggest competition*

Question 4: You and Fab drafted 4 players with the same clan tag in their names, who many people (including myself) have little clue of who they are. Can you give us some insight on how they will perform on a line together compared to yours? Will the league be surprised by them?

Answer: Yes, Farah was very keen on getting his line (the 👑 clan) that he plays pretty much everything together with.. I am excited to see them perform and I do expect them to be very competitive based on how much experience and chemistry they have with each other

Thank you to both Kyle and Gabe for taking some time to be interviewed. New owners will be interviewed on week 1.

VFL SEASON 5 – GRADES / STEALS & REACHES

Congratulations to every team and player drafted in yesterday’s Season Five Draft. These are my opinions and critiques of the events that took place.. hopefully you enjoy- H ii G H 🙂

COLTS GRADE = B+

Groff heads into Season 5 with all the hype and all the smoke. Last season’s draft showcased a masterful creation of late round picks and high value snipes, that helped formulate three more than capable lines.

This season we focus on two draft picks. IBPROFAM was the catalyst behind the Packers game 7 SB win, but heavy lies the crown. He was taken 8th in the draft and was the second RB off the board, can he once again step up and live up to the hype???? ABLOODYPSTAIN is a VFL veteran that somehow someway fell to pick 52nd of the draft. With that selection, it puts him at the #18 WR off the board.. If you ask ANYONE, that seems like an awfully silly ranking for a player of his pedigree.

DOLPHINS GRADE = B-

The VFL’s Most Valuable Troll now sets his sights on ownership, but the true test will be usering the Miami Dolphins and their very MID player personal. Ebo is most certainty regarded as one of the league’s top players, but can he truly lead his team to the promise land?

Making that goal a little more challenging will be his two RB selections that are recent QB to RB conversions WOODY and ACCOUNTANT.

THE ACCOUNTANT was a top QB selection in Season 4, unfortunately he was also an intracule part of the Chargers downfall. WOODY is another QB blunder that is attempting to rewrite his script at RB this year.. Can these two get back on track this season with their new team??

EAGLES GRADE = B

WARPATH and ARIES teaming up together with quite possibly the most lethal NFL team this season? What’s not to like here, this is a no brainer folks. Things get interesting when you focus on two of their draft selections here. JPxPRODIGIE will be a good player this season. no one is heavily doubting that. The question is, was he worth the 9th selection/2nd WR off the board status?? It’s important to remember players like PRIMO RE and PSTAIN were selected 50th and 52nd. Next, we focus on their 34th selection KINGJON. This is hands down their best value selection of the draft, especially at RB/DL.

FALCONS GRADE = C-

GAMEGREEN comes into this season a more than determined Owner, with a lot big hopes and dreams. The GM decision of DIRTYFALCONS makes all the sense in the world, but did he fall short with his draft selections??

One selection that will certainly prove to be his best, was his 12th pick BLKSA1YAN. Now if you ranked every RB based on their running capability AND DEFENSIVE ABILITY, BLKSA1YAN might be the number one guy on said list. Unfortunately, from here is where his decision making can be possibly questioned.. Your main example of this would have to be his 17th selection QB MCCOY252. Now can this user win you football games, the answer is yes, kind of. Knowing how tough it is to user a player like Matt Ryan, especially compared to the QB MCCOY played with last season, does this selection provide more headaches or relief?? We shall wait and see!

WFT DRAFT GRADE = B

**BEASTE** will try and recreate his own version of the iconic Deflate Gate/Suspension of Tom Brady and will his way back into the Championship circle.

Off to a great start, he has combined forces with top players FUEGO and CHAMP. Right away, before even the league’s first game, that trio has put the league on potential notice.

Now we focus on his draft selections: It’s very straight forward, the QB selections of DTMXKOOLAIDZ and UNGLUEDTIGER could be looked at as questionable. Could one of these two become this year’s SACRIFICE (Unknown QB Gem) Late round draft selection?? BEASTE and company sure hope so.

RAIDERS DRAFT GRADE = A-

MR OHIO and DROC come into this season with very little hype, but all the optimism in the world. Last season it was the DROC show at Owner and man oh man was that sort of a blunder. When you wear a suit to your Owner interview, it sets a precedent that proved hard to live up to. Now a GM, will his new suit be a Gatorade covered birthday suit, as his Raiders pull off the improbable??!

Here’s how their draft shook out: Now we all remember the instant classic game 7 Superbowl win of last season. H ii G H coming down with back to back remarkable catches on the last drive to win the title, but do we remember SACRIFICE’S numerous questionable calls and random timeouts?? As the 3rd pick in the draft, there will be a special sense of pressure any player will deal with. Losing Aaron Rodgers/Davante Adams and starting fresh with an entire new line, can SAC truly live up to the hype?? Luckily the Saints attached to him another Superbowl winner in EZ BIG TY who was the absolute #1 QB of this seasons draft. Last, but not least: PRIMO RE should prove to be an excellent value selection at 50.

SAINTS DRAFT GRADE = A

The self proclaimed “Jake Paul” of the VFL, LUCKY sets his sights on a rebound season following his complete and utter failure of season 4. The good news is, LUCKY not only possibly won the team selection this season, but also receives our highest draft grade.

We start off with the only possible MEGA reach of his draft and that was his 7th selection of MOCARBONE. QB is tough, especially this draft with bringing back GM’s and Max bids, but I can’t be the only one to question this high selection. Now to the great parts: At selection 10 OUTAKER will always do his job and produce numbers, this could be one of the safest picks of the draft. At selection 37 and 44, you bring in two bonafide prime time players in KWAM3 and REDHOUR. These middle round picks always round out your team and typically add the finishing touches to a dominate line. Last, but not least: Your Season 5 “Mr Irrelevant” selection goes to XX713JACXX. A true drop the mic selection on a very underrated WR user.

STEELERS DRAFT GRADE = C+

SIR BOTTOMIS is switching roles with buddy BEACHMODE and trying his hand at Owner.. but will the switch up actually make a difference and pay off??

BOTTOMIS took a similar page out of BEACHMODE’S draft guide last season and took his friends WAY EARLIER than he should have. Now to be fair, last years winning owner GROFF has basically followed that same formula in back to back seasons, so that strategy can payoff big if you value line chemistry. The two selections were going to focus on here, are a complete night and day difference from each other. With the selection of BEACHMODE at 11, will there be a steep consequence of drafting a friend this early? Mind you, BEACH was a QB for a very talented team in LAC, but finished dead last in almost all statistics ever worth mentioning. Where things get more brighter was with his selection of BREESUSS at 27. Now it’s a little odd not seeing him at QB, but a user of this caliber will make an impact no matter where he lines up, this could end up being the steal of the draft!

PATRIOTS DRAFT GRADE = B+

FEAR comes into this season with some big names attached to his team, but also a lot of question marks.

For the most part his overall draft selections faired well, but taking a WR at the fourth selection and then following up that pick with QB’s like IPLAYERMAKER and IV EZAKIMAK could pose serious issues down the line. Now to possibly ease some of that pain, the selection of FOEMAC could be the exact medicine the doctor ordered.

BENGALS DRAFT GRADE = A+

This will be short and sweet: **REALIST** and **ABYSS** have created a team of **IRBRADY, NORTHZIDE, NATECASH, DFEET, HUCCI, WHODAT.** These are all super known, veteran VFL guys and when you consider they might possibly have the most explosive weapons offensively this season with the Bengals, I feel confident saying every team this season will be very nervous of potentially matching up with these guys in the playoffs.

To Blunk or not to Blunk

That is the question. This writer spoke to the almost Mr. Irrelevant, although he was beating down my door pre draft for an interview, to see how he felt about he draft slot, team, and being the small dog in a qb room with Ebok and Gabe.

Asked for his season goals, Blunkey listed he wanted to “perfect all the pre snap skills like reading defenses, blocking adjustments, etc.” and to “learn to go through my reads correctly.” While Blunkey seems pretty confident in his ability to learn these things. going through reads correctly is a pretty vital QB skill.

https://youtu.be/nc05BxgMVSQ

One thing i learned quickly about Blunkey is that he is definitely a very hard worker as he kept mentioning how hard he wants to work to improve, and how he “wanted to thank his family and friends that supported him through this journey.”

Blunkey did mention being shocked at his draft slot. ” I feel like I deserved to go higher than some of the guys, especially after winning a playoff game, but at the end of the day I’m just glad to be drafted.” Hopefully with all the hard work and preparation we are looking at more of a Dan Marino than a Tua Tagovailoa

Asked about playing with Ebok again for a second season he stated that he is “weird sometimes but at the end of the day thats my brother, thats my dog right there. If he hurt, I’m hurt, if he up im up.” This reporter isn’t quite sure what the hell this means, but we are rolling with it.

Speaking to Ebok, he let me know that he doesnt understand what Blunkey is talking about either, that he is “ass, delusional, and may be traded before week 1 is even over. I had nothing but anger in my heart when i drafted him” Shocked at these harsh words for the new guy i asked what made him think of this. Seething red with rage Ebok told me that Blunkey should “stick to writing songs.”

SEASON 5 TEAM DRAFT RANKINGS DAY 8, 9, 10/10

*Being that the draft got moved up, my top three teams will share this final post*

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Owner Grof

3^rd Ranked Team (Picked 3^rd)

Positional Ranks

Quarterback 8^th

Running Back 2^nd

Receiving Core 7^th

Offensive Line 1^st

Front Seven 5^th

Back End 8^th

It took no time for the last team to be added in the pool to be taken off the board. Being a running back myself makes this team my favorite pick. Imagine being able to use that BEAST Jonathan Taylor (RB) behind the best offensive line in the league! Although Carson Wentz (QB) is rated pretty low, he’s got nice throw power to sling the ball to some good, not great, speedy receivers. Did I mention they have JONATHAN TAYLOR?

On defense they have a couple of STUDS. Deforest Buckner (DT) is going to be one of the best defensive lineman this year. They also may have the best linebacker in Darius Leonard. Let’s see if they can put that strip specialist to use this season. (Bobby Okereke is also 88SPD and MLB should be a good user) The secondary is OK featuring Xavier Rhodes (80) and Rock Ya-Sin (79). This could very well be one of the teams that gets thrown on this season.

Reigning Super Bowl winning owner Grof is starting off his second season with a great team pick here as he will be looking to repeat. In the draft he needs to find three good running backs who can carry this team on offense. Defensively he needs to get himself a good d-lineman to get pressure with Buckner and a good defensive back to make some plays with an average secondary. Did I mention they have JONATHAN TAYLOR?

CINCINNATI BENGALS

Owner Realest

2^nd Ranked Team (Picked 10^th)

Positional Ranks

Quarterback 1^st

Running Back 1^st

Receiving Core 2^nd

Offensive Line 7^th

Front Seven 8^th

Back End 4^th

What a steal with the last pick of the draft to nab the highest overall team of this season at 86 overall. This team features the best quarterback (Joe Burrow) and running back (Joe Mixon) in the league. (Not sure how Mixon is rated 1 higher than Jonathan Taylor because I’d argue Taylor over Mixon easy) They also have the second highest receiving core featuring offensive Rookie of the Year (WR) Jamarr Chase with a blazing 94 speed. Wide receivers Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins are no slouches either. This team should score the most points on offense this season. Their downfall is the bad offensive line.

Their front seven includes (DE) Trey Hendrickson and (DT) DJ Reader. The linebacking group has nothing worth bringing up but they have a strong secondary featuring one of the leagues best safeties Jessie Bates (92 OVR). They also have one of the fastest secondary groups this season. The front seven was one of the factors they aren’t my #1 team.

A few seasons ago the Bengals were picked among some of the NFLs best. They don’t match up well against better teams because of their speed and Burrows wind up. That team still made the playoffs. This draft Realest will be looking to pick up some top tier receiver talent to get open with Jamarr. On defense he will need some good user linebackers to figure out their LB situation. This season against some of the lower NFL rosters should set up this team for greatness. I mean somehow they made it to the Super Bowl and this season I think we will find out why.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Owner Lucky

1^st Ranked Team (Picked 1^st)

Positional Ranks

Quarterback 5^th

Running Back 3^rd

Receiving Core 8^th

Offensive Line 3^rd

Front Seven 2^nd

Back End 2^nd

Finally, we made it guys! Lucky didn’t screw up the 1^st overall pick by picking the best team this season! I really like Alvin Kamara (RB) on this team as my favorite receiving back in the league. And what do I like even more? This offensive line where both of the tackles have edge protector. I think that will help aid the decent QB in Jameis Winston (90THP) throw to Kamara and WR Michael Thomas. This team should be able to bully opposing defensive linemen.

These guys are ranked top 2 in both of my categories on defense. Let’s start with superstar Xfactor Cameron Jordan (LE 92OVR) followed by (RE) Marcus Davenport, and (DT) David Onyemata. At linebacker we have the second best player on the roster in Demario Davis (92OVR, Secure Tackler). Their defensive backs keep the show going with Marshon Lattimore (88 OVR 93SPD), Marcus Williams (FS 84OVR), strong safeties Malcom Jenkins (83OVR) and CJ Gardner Johnson (82 OVR 90 SPD), and lastly Bradley Roby (CB 80OVR). This team is stacked on defense, no doubt about it.

The Saints edged out the Bengals for me because of their trenches, where games are won and lost. There’s no doubt in my mind that if Lucky can nail the draft this team will have an opportunity to hoist the Lombardi this season. This team will need strong running backs to help the quarterbacks out. On the other side he needs to go get someone whos going to cause havoc with Cam Jordan on mostly weak offensive lines. There’s nothing better than a well balanced team. I’d rather my team be good at many things than great at one thing.

VBA Season 1 Draft Grades

After an eventful draft/post draft, people have been waiting for the first article afterwards, so here it is. This is an article based on what I know/ what I hear from others. Some things will be correct, some things may be off due to possibly not knowing a few guys. This is also a DRAFT article, trades will be left out. So, let’s begin.

Memphis Grizzlies: B+

Honestly, on paper the grizzlies had a draft that could have even gone to an A- at least. Switzo and Kurupted are two really great picks to make, Kurupted could have easily went first round alone. They could make a pretty solid duo together. They also picked up some good role players like clutch king, Lord Artie for example. Cleveland himself will already be a star caliber Ja and definitely found solid people this draft.

Only reason why it’s lower is because it doesn’t seem their first 2 picks had much idea they would land there, and both could easily want to leave if they don’t like what they see. Regardless, Kyle and the grizzlies put on a great draft and built around the stars nicely.

Boston Celtics: B+

Foe Mac had a draft which wasn’t surprising, but I know was great. Mac and Dolo already are players who can play the stars at a top level, and they picked up the right pieces and role players who will not complain and do what they’re supposed to do.

Jet and Devo are both players who can play the stars or any position great if needed, which makes them versatile. Juando is a good shooter/defender that they needed for a role like brown, or he can play Center. Bennie and Elite are their steals of the draft. The thing I wish Mac did was to take risks and pick players who are good that weren’t his boys.

Jet is a great pick for sure, but there were alot of great players left for the second overall pick who he could have taken, and waited on Jet for later on since he’s not as known as others like Gee Money, User Pick, or Kurupted for example. Overall though the Celtics should not be forgotten just because of the Celtics as a 2k team as they will definitely make a huge impact this season and put on one of the better drafts

Phoenix Suns: A-

The suns put on a really good draft. Haden and Primo are both great guard players and needed to find others who can hoop with CP3 and Booker, which they did. User pick is not only their boy, but also a top player in the league. King John right after could have probably gone in the first round, and they drafted people who they have high chemistry with to build around. Ruthless and Kelz are both well known VBA players and have the potential to surprise the league. CJ on booker is someone to look out for, as he will be an important factor for User pick’s line to win. This will be a very interesting team to watch for this season.

Miami Heat: A-

I’ll say this right away, I have no idea who the clan of ‘Kxng’ people that they took. If that other line, which I’m assuming will have farah in too, plays good enough to win games, this grade jumps up to an A at least.

Fab and Gabe are top players in the league and drafted people that are not only good but also are boys with(for example Gabe & Kuhrow, Fab & Pook). This team is already expected to compete far in the playoffs based off this line alone.

If their second line plays poorly though, i’d say this grade goes down to a B or B+. Definitely interested to see how both lines turn out. Overall the heat drafted great and will be one of the biggest competitors this season.

Los Angeles Clippers: D-

I really have no idea what the Clippers were thinking here with one of their first round picks. No disrespect to LJ as a person, but here’s a quote that Stephen A Smith said that I feel perfectly describes my thoughts on him. “This man was a bonafide scrub! He can’t play! No disrespect whatsoever, but I’m sorry to call, tell everybody the truth, the man cannot play the game of basketball”.

The Clippers had sooo many better choices to make that they needed for their star players Kawhi & PG. Their 3 best players imo are Traynor, Woodhy, and Shaun. Unfortunately, I don’t believe they have much support which will get to their heads and possibly affect their performances(Except for Traynor he’s a troll).

Traynor at 10th was a steal though, which is the only reason why their draft isn’t a F grade. I hope they prove me wrong though.

Los Angeles Lakers: C-

With a team like the Lakers, you need people who can dominate with Bron and AD in order to compete. I personally don’t see any Bron users that they picked up who can dominate(that I know about). Vonthegamer will hold his own and do good as AD, but his preference isn’t to play the star on a team.

If Shady and Fear are secretly good Lebron’s or picked someone I don’t know about that can surprise me, then ill tip my cap. Until then, they need to prove to the league that they have what it takes.

Warriors: A

One of Mizzark’s top abilities as an owner is being able to build a championship caliber team, and already having himself and Bron as star players helps dramatically. Geee Money is a great Center who they obviously have really high chemistry with. Chairz is a friend of theirs who i’ve seen in 2kgodz who will play Klay i’m assuming.

xLoad, Never practices, and King Logic are the people to keep an eye out this season, which can greatly increase the success of the warriors IF they play great(I hear they are good). Bama is exactly what they need as a role player, just make your shots and play defense without complaining.

If the draft rumor is right which was Mizz wanted to take Kurupted, that could have made their grade an A+ in my opinion. The warriors as a team need everyone to hit their shots badly, since they are smaller in size compared to everyone else (until Wiseman is back). Because of that, if the players he drafted(more so the 3 noted players from before) do not perform well, then this draft grade falls to a B+. Overall though Mizz and Bron put on a great draft and helped back up their expectations from the league to be in the finals with their selections.

Philly Sixers: C-

The Sixers picked a great Embid with Ebok in the first round, who many say is a top shooting big in the league, and they needed that on Embid. Blksupersaiyan is a solid guy and good player, but him being selected in the first round makes no sense to me. Not saying he’s bad at all, just he could have been picked later on, and there were better Harden’s they could have taken in the first round.

Lucky Dabs is someone I haven’t seen play much but I hear is a good player. Aceboogs seems toxic already on the discord, which will hurt the team if it continues during the season. There doesn’t seem to be anyone who will dominate with Harden, but I hope they prove me wrong.

Nets: B-

I haven’t seen much of the players drafted play, so it’s tough to speak on this team. I do know that they are radio’s guys, which is a big plus since chemistry is important to win. Due to that alone I put a B-.

Having the Nets is already an advantage. If the team they drafted competes at a high level, then this team could be one to watch throughout the season and their grade can easily jump higher throughout the season.

Bucks: B

The bucks went with drafting a team with basically their boys, which again helps in the chemistry part. Especially on the Bucks, you gotta have people who won’t complain with their roles, as Giannis will dominate the ball every game.

Zha Jesus is a name I’ve heard to be a great player, so my guess is that he will be one of their Giannis’s. MJ and Woozy are both a part of their crew that are solid. I haven’t seen Khaos and Bwall play, but are names to look out for on this team.

This team has potential to win a lot of games in my opinion and put on a good draft.

SEASON 5 TEAM DRAFT RANKINGS DAY 7/10

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Owner Mr Ohio

4th Ranked Team (Picked 6th)

Positional Ranks
Quarterback 2^nd

Running Back 4^th

Receiving Core 3^rd

Offensive Line 8^th

Front Seven 6^th

Back End 6^th

Da Raiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiders (Chris Berman voice) come in as my 4th ranked team. Some of you newer people may not remember from season one that the “we ball” gang took these same Raiders (well, with WR Henry Ruggs) to the superbowl in season 1. They may not have Ruggs anymore but they replaced him with another speedster Desean Jackson (95 speed). They arguably have the best quarterback in the league (depending on your values, but an accurate passer with 91THP is awesome). The running back solid in Josh Jacobs and they have a decent receiving back in Kenyan Drake. The offensive line could be a problem. The ranks were based off for sure starters but like the Eagles, Richie Incognito isn’t factored into the algorithm. If they can sub him in they climb the ranking abit. It’s funny that the higher my rankings go the more you forget to bring up they even have an Xfactor tight end in Darren Waller. Stud!
Defensively they don’t have any huge name players BUT they have a solid core that with decent users should do fine. Well… aside from linebacker (yikes). Maxx Crosby (LE) and Yannick Ngakoue are good players to have coming off the edge. They also have one of my favorite defensive backs in Casey Hayward (still can’t believe the Packers let him walk years ago, imaging him with Jaire) and the youngster Trayvon Mullen Jr. The safeties aren’t terrible to user either in Abram (92 speed), and Moehrig (90 speed).
Mr Ohio has a good team here and if he has an impressive draft this is going to be a team that could be scary. This might be as close to gun slinger as there is in the league this season. I’d like to see him draft a good running back to try and get the most from Jacobs, especially if they can sub in Incognito at guard. Defensively go and get a pass rusher who can dominate with Crosby. This team was a steal at the 6th pick in the draft.

SEASON 5 TEAM DRAFT RANKINGS DAY 6/10

WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM

Owner: Beaste

5^th Ranked Team (Picked 2^nd)

Positional Ranks

Quarterback 9^th

Running Back 9^th

Receiving Core 6^th

Offensive Line 5^th

Front Seven 4^th

Back End 7^th

Ryan Fitzpatricks Washington Football Team comes in as my 5^th ranked team! This team was an interesting pick taken at 2 this season. The quarterback and runningback are ALMOST the worst. The offensive line is average which should help even out how bad those two positions are, but they have one of my favorite players at receiver in Scary Terry (Mclaurin). Talk about a beast! He reminds me of a young Deandre Hopkins in that he still puts up numbers even with trash quarterbacks.

Defensively these guys have some fun players. Its a very similar team to yesterdays Pittsburgh Steelers. The defensive line features superstar Chase Young, Jonathan Allen, Da’Ron Payne, and Montez Sweat. They even have a third DT in Matthew Ioannidis who’s an 80 OVR! I’m rushing five every play, I don’t care. Looking through the roster I couldn’t find a linebacker worth talking about (Holcomb??). But the secondary has a few bright spots in Kendall Fuller (88OVR) and William Jackson (84). Having Landon Collins (SS) in the box should be fun, too.

This team has some fun talent on both sides of the ball. As much as I don’t like Fitzpatrick I don’t think that Beaste would have chose this team if he didn’t feel like he was alright. He will need to draft two other good quarterbacks to be successful this season. On defense I’m looking, again, for some monster defensive line users. It should be really fun for them getting to the quarterback all season against these weak offensive lines. Could he have traded back and still picked them? I think so. But as owner of the Super Bowl winning Browns in season 2, I won’t question him too much.

SEASON 5 TEAM DRAFT RANKINGS DAY 4/10

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Owner: Areis

7^th Ranked Team (Picked 5^th)

Positional Ranks:

Quarterback 6^th

Running Back 8^th

Receiving Core 9^th

Offensive Line 4^th

Front Seven 7^th

Back End 5^th

The Eagles come in as my 7^th ranked team in the draft. This is where things got hard for me with so many teams coming up that I grade close together. One thing I really like on this offense is the offensive line (especially if they are able to sub Brandon Brooks in). Other than that they have an OK running back, a fast but weak armed QB in Jalen Hurts, and some low overall receivers. I think that the offense will thrive off big plays from players like Devonta Smith and Quez Watkins (98 Speed).

On the defensive line you will find two good players in Javon Hargrave, Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox. The secondary also has some good players like superstar Darius Slay and corner Avonte Maddox (93 Speed). There is nothing to talk about at linebacker on this team, but I could see the defensive line causing some issues this year against some fairly weak offensive line play.

The Eagles are really good in the trenches which helps them be a balanced football team. Areis needs to find himself some good receivers in the draft to utilize the speed this team has. On defense the biggest need would be a good user linebacker to figure out what to do on that second level. This team has some game-changing pieces on it that with right draft picks could do some real damage. It’s nice to see another team with a good kick returned in Quez Watkins.
