Los Angeles Lakers' guard Kobe Bryant receives his lowest rating ever with 85 for the upcoming "NBA 2K16."

Returning from his shoulder injury, Bryant has appeared in every NBA 2K game since its inception in 2005. The rating is a by-product of predictions that the future hall of famer will retire after the 2015-2016 NBA season, but fans are not happy about this including Ice Cube's son.

In a recent interview, O'Shea Jackson said, "How quickly they forget. Somebody could hurt their Achilles for so long, whatever... but as long as Kobe Bryant is wearing the golden jersey, I feel like I can win the championship."

The 5-time NBA champion will return in Lakers Nation for the 2015-2016 season after being sidelined for most part of the previous season. Newly drafted (No. 2 overall Pick) Laker D'Angelo Russell from Ohio State Buckeyes testified how incredibly focused Bryant is in preparing for his return.

"I always preach, I didn't get here from being the most athletic guy, the fastest guy, the tallest guy, or the strongest, I got here from my mind," said Russell in an interview with LakersNation. "That's something when I watch Kobe interviews or listen to Kobe talk, he's mentally on another level, when I listen to him, I relate to that."

Several experts believe that this Bryant's last season, who has always been compared to the Michael Jordan. The third highest scorer of all time is on a quest to collect his sixth NBA ring. His campaign to tie Jordan's championship rings begin this October as the world's most popular league opens.

Meanwhile, aside from Bryant's low rating, "NBA 2K16" has also making headlines due newly added classic teams that include the epic 2004-2005 Phoenix Suns and 2005-2006 Miami Heat, as reported by Bleacher Report.

"NBA 2K16" is set for commercial release on Sept. 29, 2015 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.
