Hassan Whiteside already asked for his rating to be updated from a 59 to a 77 in "NBA 2K15" in January. Now, the rising former D-League player is reaching out to the video game again in the hopes of getting his ratings increased.

"I hope u seeing this mid range jumpers and lobs I got that," Whiteside said in a text message to Ronnie 2K according to a screenshot shared on Ronnie's Twitter.

"I see you bro," Ronnie responded.

Ronnie shared the screenshot of the text message along with the tweet, "That didn't take long."

"I love this kid's passion for 2K, Hassan Whiteside is becoming m favorite story of 2015," Ronnie's tweet continued.

In the last month, Whiteside has been getting much more time on the court for the Miami Heat. He is averaging 13.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.3 blocked shots.

Whiteside wants to have a better rating in his mid-range jumper attribute. For standing shot mid-range, he is rated at only a 39. For moving shot mid-range he is rated only a 40. The ratings go from 25 to 99, so it makes sense that he wants "NBA 2K15" to up his ratings.

The 2K staff has already granted Whiteside one wish. If the 7-footer continues to play well, his ratings could continue to go up.
