He has improved each year and he runs the team now.
@ Searain, the stats are official, 2K sent them to OS.
The stats don't mean much, they changed the scale from 50-100 to 0-100 when 2K10 was released. Plus they adjust them accordingly as the season goes on.
Also, if Lebron and Wade are 97, what's MJ rating, 125?
will post my impressions shortly

EA really suck at making sports games, I don't watch basketball but I know that the stuff on this video is unrealistic as hell... Player physics/momentum don't mean a thing, just the same as FIFA.
After 2 hours of play, cut short by the fact I had to have dinner at some point, here are my impressions.
I've spoilered it if people don't want to read early, but I assure you it does not spoil any secrets in the game or delve into any modes - it's just my initial raw opinion of the gameplay entitled 'GOTY'.
First off, the presentation of this game is incredible and is definitely the benchmark by which other sports games should aspire. The menus are back to their best, and in-game it looks very slick. I could go on, but you can see this the videos posted above.
Gameplay - I can't believe how deep this game is, the shot stick opens up so many possibilities offensively, the passing and isomotion are very responsive and smooth and the play calling is very intuitive. Also, in terms running plays on the court, your teammates seem very wise to finding gaps to step into to provide you with an option. Screens are also very effective this year, which is a great thing IMO, finally the AI is smart enough not to just stand there like a lemon blocking out thin air. The CPU AI is equally as smart at running plays. Overall, the gameplay itself seems very challenging, the possibilties are endless and we have an AI smart enough to give you a really rewarding experience. I also love the fact that the game is so balanced in terms of offence and defence.
The defence is back big time, contesting shots and stealing wayward passes seems a lot fairer and doable this time. Rebounding is in art and you are not guaranteed to get the ball even if you box out other players you have to time your jumps effectively. The AI again seems to support you well enough and thank the Lord they've stopped the excessive double-teaming from 2k10. Players also lose the ball and run out of bounds a lot more realistically/you also do this if you're not careful.
It's just an incredible experience. As much as I'm looking forward to playing PES, this is going to take some beating as the best sports game this year.
