The Most Overrated Players in the Game

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">#1 ? Baron Davis
Over the course of his career, Davis has missed 34 percent of his free throws and more than 59 percent of his field goals. Blame impatience and lack of concentration for the former, and a penchant for forcing shots for the latter.

Davis' numerous ill-advised shots are symptomatic of his selfishness, carelessness and habit of playing out of control. Because he's overly concerned with his passes being highlighted on the evening news, Davis inevitably chooses to risk spectacular passes when simpler ones are in order. He's so focused on scoring that he'll assault the offensive boards with no regard to maintaining court balance ? thereby leaving his team vulnerable to fast breaks.

Davis is also surprisingly ineffective in screen/roll situations at both ends of the court. On offense, he'll try to split any resultant double-teams, and on defense, he's simply too passive. Intelligent defense (pressure and containment) can force him into turnovers.

For the past few seasons, Davis lobbied to be traded because the Hornets were consistently an underachieving ball club. If he had looked in the mirror, Davis would have seen a big reason why this was so.</div>

i have to say for charley rosen i was expecting much worse.

 

Look up moron in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of Charley Rosen right beside it. How could Richard Jefferson and Elton Brand (probably the most underrated player, not overrated player) be overrated? Maybe Rosen should try writing logical articles for once, because the shock factor isn't there anymore. It's just stupidity now.

 

if i had to rate my most overrated player in the NBA it would probably have to be Tim Duncan. The media, commentators and fans make it seem as if Duncan can walk on water. Im sorry, no

 

I don't think Duncan is overrated at all. He's got rings, and he's won MVP's and he averages double doubles every season along with a couple of blocks. And usually his team has the best record.

And for the article, Elton Brand is not overrated at all, he's underrated
