Eric Gordon isn’t quite an all-star, but he did win the Sixth Man of the Year Award two years ago and has continued since then to be one of the league’s best three-point shooters and backup scoring options. When James Harden is off, Gordon always steps into a bigger role and takes over the Rockets’ offense. Scoring 16.2 points and nailing 3.2 threes per game last season should have been enough to get Gordon to at least an 80 overall in 2K Sports upcoming video game, NBA 2K20, but it wasn’t.
Gordon’s 78 overall rating doesn’t look too bad theoretically, but when you look at players with similar ratings it is clear that he has been harshly judged.
