When it comes to the popular NBA 2k video game, there is one thing we have come to learn; players really care about their ratings.

With the latest installment of the game set to be released in September, the creators have been slowly revealing the ratings of all NBA players and, as you can imagine, the reactions have been mixed.

It's quite difficult to satisfy most players unless they're all rated 99 because they will almost always feel they are rated too low.

One player who hasn't produced this sort of reaction, however, is Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard.

The 27-year-old recently discovered his rating for 2K18, but he says it's not something that he concerns himself with.

“Honestly, I really don’t care,” he told Hoops Hype. “I’ve become less and less consumed with the credit that I’m given. I think 89 is a solid rating. But I should be up there with the best at my position.”

Though he claims he doesn't care, it's easy to gather that he has some gripes about how he is rated.

Lillard has been overlooked for the All-Star team on the last three occasions and is one of the most underrated point guards in the league.

The two-time All-Star has led the Blazers to the playoffs in the last two seasons despite many predicting them to be a lottery team.

He averaged a career-high 27 points last year along with 4.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists.

When the league's best guards are talked about, his name is frequently left off the list despite the stellar numbers he puts up for his team and how he leads them.

If people around the league don't appreciate what he does, his teammates certainly do.

In the recent National Basketball Players Association Players Voice Awards, Dame was selected as the Teammate of the Year by his fellow Blazers.

Dame D.O.L.L.A. is spending much of his season working on his second rap album after the success he received from his first.

Many NBA players have had a stab at forging rap careers on the side but only the Portland star has been able to excel at it and come out with any credit.

"People heard the first album and they respected it," Lillard told ESPN. "I'm pretty sure they can feel the vibe of this next one and it's going to be better than the first one. So, we're going to get into it. I've been on the phone with other artists to make it big."

With his music taking up most of his time off the court, it's no wonder he has little time to worry about his rating on NBA 2k.
