Who is Ronnie 2K and why is he popular in NBA circles?
It would be an understatement to say that superstar Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors has beef with Ronnie 2K. The 5-time All-Star was furious when he saw his 3-point rating on NBA 2K23 was 88 and hasn't held back in expressing his outrage.
Ronnie Singh, also known as Ronnie 2K, is one of the most polarizing figures in the sports and gaming industry. He is currently the Digital Marketing Director for 2K Games. Somehow, he always manages to find himself in a position where fans and players alike would put the blame on him.
Klay Thompson recently became one of those people who expressed disgust towards Ronnie.
Klay Thompson calls Ronnie 2K a 'Clown'

Klay Thompson was not a fan of ESPN having Ronnie 2K on to talk NBA 2K23 😬 https://t.co/FvfW8Ojd2l
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.
According to Clutch Points, ESPN welcomed Ronnie 2K to talk about NBA 2K23. Malika Andrews, the host, questioned Ronnie about the most absurd thing a player has done to raise their player rating. In his response, he acknowledged that some players had attempted to bribe him in order to raise their NBA 2K rating.
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.
