The Most Overrated Player Currently In The NBA Is......

[Enfuego]

lol, I think you got the wrong guy. No clue about the Paterno thing you are speaking of.

Anyway its all good.

Too many goddamn Pats Fans on this board LOL.

disagree strongly with the Iverson posts. He single handily took his team to the Finals against the Lakers and single handily won game 1.. I think if anything Iverson was underrated.


Players who were always overrated:
T-Mac
Baron Davis
Stephon Marbury
Penny Hardaway
Grant Hill
Rudy Gay

Not totally disagreeing with your list Gyno but most of the guys you listed had their careers effected by injuries.

It's a difficult arguement when that that is brought into the equation.

So if we talk before injuries, or if injuries would have never occurred, then McGrady, Hill, and most of all, Hardaway would never be included in an 'overrated' debate

Penny was unstoppable before that knee injury.
I still remember him abusing Pippin and Jordan both in that playoff series in what I believe was only his 2nd year...

Surprised no one has mentioned Jeremy Lin

Seems like he gets a fresh start each year. Someone likes him.

Yes, but that does not make him overrated. Tons of players hang around and get contracts because they can fill a position or play a part. And you said he's good because he is in the NBA. But it is all relative, of course he is good compared to everyone else, but not good compared to the elite/upper tier nba players

This is a very old thread, but i think someone did mention him

Jeremy Lin, and it's not close. Have to hand it to him though... dude cashed in on about three weeks of good stats. He probably got the best contract based on a short duration of solid play since Larry Allen.

Surprised no one has mentioned Jeremy Lin

Seeeeee
