Joel Embiid is going to receive a pretty favorable rating in the upcoming NBA 2K18 video game, yet it's still not high enough to appease him.

Sitting down for a chat with 2K studios, the Philadelphia 76ers center was made aware that his rating was going to be an 86, even though he was expecting something around a 95 because's he's a big man that can pretty much do anything on the court.

"That's bull crap. I'm not going to curse. I just got fined," said Embiid, referring to his recent $10,000 fine for using inappropriate language on social media. "I'm definitely going to bump it up to 95 during the season."

Upon the release of last year's game, only LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers had a rating greater than 95 (96), with two-time league Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry coming in at 94.

Baby steps, Embiid.
