Question:

Top 3 most over and underrated players?

by | earlier

Overrated

1) Tony Parker - I just don't think hes that great... Hes not a top 5 pg but people always seem to think hes the reason for the Spurs success.

2) Dirk Nowitski - I just don't think hes that good... I mean hes a star player from November-April. But he sucks May and June.

3) Rajon Rondo - People keep saying how good he is. But in all honesty I think I could get better stats then him if no1 ever covered me.

Underrated

1) Jamal Crawford - Hes a great scorer! If he wasn't on the Knicks who are so critical of there players people would be saying how good he is.

2) Al Jefferson - I didn't hear about him once all year yet he had a 20 and 10 season.

3) Everyone on the Hornets minus Chris Paul. People always say how Chris Paul led a crappy team to the second best record. Well just look at his team. Chandler is a good precense to have down low, Stojakavic is an amazing shooter, and West is a good all around player

I agree with your list but instead of the Hornets team (they are definitely getting their fill of praise and attention) I would put up Shawn Marion.

The most overrated player in the league is CP3. Horrible team? That's a joke. The media just loves him. His stats would be nothing without Chandler and their lobs. So Chandler makes Paul look good when it should be the other way around. Also, his defense is overrated. He gambles on defense, hense the leading in steals. I want a shut-down defender, not one that just wants to take the ball away.

For underrated I agree with your first two, and I think Brandon Roy. People were all saying he shouldn't of been in the All-Star game, when it was clear that he should. He proved himself but doesn't get credit. Also, Deron Williams, he's constantly living in the shadow of Chris Paul. Give DWills media time and you've got the starting PG for the all-star team.

2)Steve Nash-Those 2 MVPS were to attract fans from foreign countrys.He had the best starting 5 in basketball a couple of years straight and never went to the finals

1) Dirk Nowitzki- All he does is shoot. Doesn't get boards, no physical player, just shoots. Isn't a leader or anything and chokes in the Playoffs lately.

2) Tony Parker- I agree with you. I don't see the big deal with him either.

3) Rashard Lewis- Do you know how much money he gets?

Underrated

1) Al Jefferson- phenominal player. automatic double double

2) Jason Richardson- no media attention at all b/c he's on a sucky team but he is a great basketball player

3) Jamal Crawford- He scores lights out and is rarely talked about.

1.) Kobe- just because he's Kobe

2.) Tim Duncan - Everyone thinks he is the Spurs, but he is not the entire team

3.) Dwayne Wade - All i have to say is Injury prone

Underrated

1.) Rajon Rondo - First full year as the Celts Point guard, and helps lead them to the championship ( and he was guarded, by a guy named Chauncey Billups during there series)

2.) Chauncey Billups- Mr. Clutch, thats all i have to say about him

3.) Al Jefferson - Playing on a bad team doesn't get him much press action.

Overated:

1. Lebron James- he has a lot of whole in his game: shooting, defense,

2. Dirk Nowitzki- dirk is soft and looses confidence to e-z (warriors/mavs series)

3. Paul Peirce (my bad he put himself into that category)

3. Gilbert Arenas- Wizards would have won that series if Arenas came off the bench or didn't play, they played a majority of the season w/out him, and they did good, w/ him comin back so late, he souldn't have started in the playoff, becuz he wasn't ready.

Underrated:

1. Antwan Jamison- is the most consistant level-headed player on the team, and if it wasn't gor him, the washinton would, have gone anywhere

2.. Richard Jefferson-carried New jersey this past season, and they were still lookin for VC to take over, they didn't need VC to take over they jus need be the back up, a role player. but a we'll see w/ the Bucks if he I'm right or wrong.

3. Joe Johnson- Joe Johnson is crazy, his shot is cash, he vcan play reasonable defense and he can play the 1,2, & 3. he was the core of the Suns when Nash won his 1st MVP, and some may have even said he controlled the team that season. people sleep on him cuz he is on the Hawks, but they will be remeinded since trhey are finally doin somethin.

overrated

1. Nowitski-he SUCKS!!! 20 points 9 rebounds a game are not that great, plus he is so soft on D

2. T-Mac-he is ALWAYS hurt, and only averages 22-24 ppg, 5-6 assists, and people put him up there with the best in the league? he is overrated

3. David west-ok he is an allstar, but he shoots a poor % for a PF, and is just overrated in my opinion.

Underrated

1. YES AI JEFFERSON! he is a BEAST!

2. Tyson Chandler, the hornets need this dude, hes so underrated

3. Shaun Marion, he never got the respect he deserved as a sun.

4. GERALD WALLACE!!!!!! he is so athletis and a great player, but no one talks about him

parker can drive the lane and tire out opponents GOOD

dirk is a "dork" and a "choke artist" cant spell CLUTCH BAD

rondo U SUMMED IT UP PERFECTLY

Crawford s ya great scorer saw him score clutch shots against detoit like every game they played the last 2 years

jefferson playson a team that concentrates on him. he touches the ball a LOT so obviously he gets points. but he does NOT win games. YUK

HORNETS?! ok. stojakobiv is a spot up shooter nothing more. no spring in his legs. he s not like RIP HAMILTON. he doesnt move around. he stays in one place watchin paul break down theh Defense. and excuse me i dont think west was an all star until paul made him a star

chandler is a defender nothing more. not even one of hte best defenders..

one thing your considering is Rondo is a young player, behind 3 superstars, and 2-3 vets, everything he accomplishes is off of how they play. bad pass...allen'll make it look good with a 3, bad shot, pj brown'll make a veteran play, get the rebound, put back, foul. had rondo been the only player with clout, he'd be SShity.(i'm not defending him, he's just the easiest to make a case for right now). parker IS a Good PG.not overrated, Dirk can't do it on his own, even if he is 7 feet.

but you are correct about crawford, since stepping on the big stage at the garden people put the knicks record over how good he is.

OH AND TO LAURA DOWN BELOW KEN GRIFFY ISN'T OVERRATED, HE'S GETTING OLDER, INJURIES TAKE A TOLL, (IE, GRANT HILL)
