Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson had a brief disagreement with Ronnie 2K last season due to his dissatisfaction with his player rating on the NBA 2K video game. Ronnie 2K, whose real name is Ronnie Singh, serves as the digital marketing director for 2K Sports and is often seen promoting the most popular basketball video game in the world. Fortunately, it seems the conflict between the two has now been resolved.
Ronnie 2K was recently a guest on “The PatBev Pod,” a podcast hosted by NBA player Patrick Beverley and podcaster Adam Ferrone on Barstool Sports. During the conversation, the hosts brought up the disagreement between Klay Thompson and Ronnie, asking if there was still any ongoing tension. The NBA 2K digital marketing director downplayed the drama, stating that the situation had been exaggerated, and suggested that the Splash Brother had possibly used the spat as motivation.
Although the discussion of Klay Thompson’s player rating garnered attention, Ronnie 2K emphasized during the interview that he felt the issue had been blown out of proportion. The specific details surrounding the conflict remain unclear, but it appears that Thompson and Ronnie have moved on from the disagreement.
It is not uncommon for athletes to find motivation in criticism or perceived slights, and Klay Thompson may have used this as an opportunity to prove his worth both on and off the court. Ultimately, fans and players alike can now refocus on the exciting world of basketball and the continued development of the NBA 2K video game series.
