When a player finally gets his NBA championship I don't think he really cares about being overrated. He probably can't see all his critics with the ring shining so bright in his face.

DariusAli · 01-10-2007, 10:09 PM

Exactly why Jordan was so good.

HE WASNT SATISFIED with ONE RING. What does winning a title have to do with the next season? Its a brand new year. That means you try to win again. NOT say, Oh well I dont care now I got mines....

This is a really interesting discussion. I would have to say that i reckon Dwayne Wade is overrated. (have you guys seen the Phantom fouls on youtube? Its crazy the kind of things he gets away with)
Anyways underrated would probably have to be Kirk Heinrich, because he got drafted in the SUPER Draft, and he just doesn't get as much attention. But he is an excellent player.

Underated: 2 years ago I was have said Abdur-Rahim, now I'd go with Gasol
Over rated: Ben Wallace, maybe it's just this season, but he sucks in Chicago.

PistolPete4 · 03-20-2007, 04:02 PM

Over Agent Zero. Dont forget that if you miss this shot its game over.

Under Chris Bosh who's out in Toronto and gets no love, at 6'10 he can put it on the floor and shoot the J.

overated dirk nowitzki, come on people he is not having that good of a year!!!
underated steve nash, for people thinking dirk should get mvp.

Not even a Suns fan, but both my choices are Suns. Weird.

Most overrated: Steve Nash

Nash won the MVP twice in a row (3? Still waiting to see if Dirk gets robbed this year), but has never been anything resembling a controlling force in the playoffs. The NBA's regular season is just around to determine where the 8 best teams play for the championship, and after that it's about your defense (which Nash doesn't play) and the dominance of your superstars (dominance which Nash lacks). I mean, the supposed "best distributor in the league" couldn't even make the NBA finals with Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Finley, Tim Hardaway, Juwan Howard, a bench with exceptional roleplayers and the hustle man Eduardo Najera...? You put Jason Kidd on that team and you can hand him his ring before the finals even start.

Most underrated player: Shawn Marion

A double-double every night and amazing defensive abilities from the 4 spot have kept the Suns in great shape despite having no ability to get a defensive stop and the smallest front 7 in the league. In a Western Conference crowded with marquee forwards (Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki, Anthony, Boozer etc) Marion gets lost in the shuffle. If Phoenix is crazy enough to lose Marion this offseason for cap relief, they're throwing their playoff spot out with the bathwater.

Overrated honorable mention: Manu Ginobili

Great shooter, decent passer, terrible actor. I like Ginobili, but the man lives and dies with the flop rule. If they implement that next year, you might as well kiss the Spurs' run at a championship goodbye.

Underrated honorable mention: Marcus Camby

Runner-up to defensive player of the year award for the previous two years, Camby isn't even mentioned by most analysts as a candidate this year (Bill Walton picked Tim Duncan?! Still scratching my head on that one) despite leading the league in blocks with an ABSURD 3.3 blocks per game, and coming in second in defensive rebounds to the unreal Kevin Garnett. Camby is one of only a handful of players in the league that make marquee players think twice about attempting short buckets in the lane, and yet people talk about him like he's Shawn Bradley. All in all, it's a terrible injustice for the league's best defensive-stopper.

Overrated=Shaq, currently he's big, slow, and fat. Also his fre throws are horrible.
Underrated=Varejao the guy can actually play some good defense and play in the post, and when you need it he's a flopper.

miker570 · 09-01-2007, 03:01 AM

Underrated: Josh Howard, Chris Bosh, Marcus Camby

Overrated: Dwayne Wade, Manu Ginobili, Ben Wallace
