    Uderrated:

    Udonis Haslem - He does all the little things, rebounds, defends, hustles.

    Paul Peirce - He's a great player, but he's on a bad team, that's most of the reason that he's not getting the recognition he deserves.

    Jason Kidd - He's getting a little bit on the old side, but he's the best passer in the league and a great defender.


    Overrated:

    Antoine Walker - He shoots way too much, a bad defender, and is a bad free throw shooter. Udonis is a better player than him.

    Kenyon Martin - He's a good defender and rebounder, but J-Kidd made who he is.

    Peja - One of the best shooters in the league, but that's pretty much it. He can't defend, rebound, and doesn't have an inside game.

    Kobe's also the guy who gets all the credit for going 3-1 in a series but doesn't get any blame when he quits on the team and let's the opponent win 3 in a row to become one of the biggest chokers in NBA history.

    Paul Pierce - Need I say anything? Just because his team suffers, he doesn't get much attention he deserves. I would take him anyday if I were a GM.

    Marion - Did anyone read Slam magazine? This guy is angry for not getting enough credit. And I think he has a point.

    Over
    K Mart - I don't know if he can do anything with his back to the basket.

    All NBA teams came out.

    Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce didn't even make third team, while Carmelo Anthony somehow does.

    I think that pretty much validates my claim that Anthony is overrated.

    They are superior by most statistical measures:

    Well, Carmelo lead the Nuggets to a division title. Winning is considered when deciding the All-NBA teams. Pierce and Garnett were on bad teams, that's why they got snubbed.

    Cavs scored 23 points in the 2nd half of game 7, Lebron had 1 of 9fg attempts, and something like 2 rbounds and 1 assist.
    Lebron got all the credit for taking 3-2 lead, but didnt get any blame for losing the series.

    LeBron is not overrated, he has no playoff experience so how are you going to call him overrated just because he didn't lead his team past the Pistons despite a 3-2 lead? The Cavs had the Pistons in Game 6 anyway, the Pistons barely escaped.

    you need help

    overrated:

    J. Kidd - don't get me wrong dude is great, but I've never been a huge fan of his.......his lack of shooting ability has always hurt him and he can be contained if the opposing team slows down into a half court offense....he's great when running the break, but in a half court set up???....no....he doesn't have the great foot speed of a Nash to blow by his defender and create for others, when he's in a half court set up.

    Yea I know. He had an excellent career and still plays great, yet he gets no attention anymore. No one talks about how he made another player better(Vince Carter).[​IMG]
