The NBA216 recently released their own rankings and scores of players in the league based on their positions and Detroit Pistons Brandon Jennings is not happy with how they ranked Kobe Bryant.

According to the basketball game, which is developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Sports, Los Angeles Lakers Bryant is the fifth best shooting guard option after James Harden, Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler and Dwayne Wade. When the rankings were revealed, Jennings immediately questioned them. Bryant's 85 is his lowest rating ever in the video game series.

Jennings two follow-up tweets read:

"Kobe led the league in scoring before he got hurt."

"It's Kobe Bryant. The closest thing to Michael Jordan. Yall really don't' think that good huh? That's crazy."

Jennings, however, gave credit to Harden of the Houston Rockets and Thompson of the Golden State Warriors in another tweet.

Jennings was also not happy with the point guard ratings. He stated that Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder should have earned a perfect 100 and that Washington Wizards John Wall should be higher than five. Westbrook was ranked third after Warriors Stephen Curry and Los Angeles Clippers Chris Paul.

Before Jennings could get even more upset over the 2K 16 rankings, he reminded himself that the game is just a game after all.
