    I think it has to be Robert Horry. Everyone thinks he is god when he comes up big in 1 game the whole season. Lets face it, for a Power Forward he doesn't have much of an inside game at all. He has been averagng a whopping 5 ppg this year. He shows up in the playoffs but he is basically nothing in the regular season. He is a good shooter and he used to be a good rebounder but he wasn't a top 5 player on any championship that he won. He came up big in the playoffs, yes. But he didn't do much to get them where they were so I don't know what the big deal is. :dunno:

    Kevin garnett.He was tmac before tmac. Puts up a <Censored> load of numbers which have absolutely no effect on his team.

    Wow the <Censored> posts never end from you do they? When he was MVP he led the league in the stat that measures points scored vs. given up when a given player is on the floor. Get your facts straight.

    No, Kevin garnett has had teams before that could get pass the first round. He's also a little pansy might i add, one game this season he didn't take a shot in the last 6 minutes of play. The only time i saw KG take the game into his own hands was game in 7 of the 2nd round of the playoffs in 2004.And believe me i'm not the only person who shares this view, many a people do.edit: Also a major why he's overrated is because people actually said he was better than Tim Duncan

    He has a lot of skills that Tim doesn't have and he's more versatile, though I wouldn't call him a better player necessarily. He wants nothing more that to win games so you suggesting that he doesn't try his hardest or something like that is ridiculous.

    TJ Ford evryone when talking about him make him out to be this great player and all but he hasent played very much due to injury and when he does play I have not been that impressed with him. And this truly hurts me but LeBron is over-rated only because of what so many people expect so much from him because he is King James/the choosen one/the next Jordan.

    Robert Horry turns into Reggie Miller in the clutch, it's scary and we even know he's not that good. He just suddenly becomes better when the game is on the line. Jerome James has to be another one. Playoff run was a fluke, was overpaid, plays 9 mpg, overweight, and he's very selfish. Seattle doesnt miss him at all, they have an improving forward in Chris Wilcox.

    I disagree. yao's turned into a beast as of late. And okay, he's 7'6".. Who cares?? If he's only good bc he's tall, it doesn't matter! bc he's stillf good and that's the only thing that matters!

    Shaq is 7'1" max, and he wouldn't be strong is he weren't 340 lbs. Ben Wallace is pretty damn strong too, so why doesn't he average 27 PPG for his career? Height isn't that important in rebounding either. Again, Ben Wallace is 6'9" and he leads the league in rebounding, it's about position more than anything. Paul Pierce is 6'6" and an excellent rebounder.

    He gets credit all season for being such a good clutch player when he never does anything in the regular season. Melo had him for the best role player which I thought was rediculous. He comes off the bench, doesnt play D and makes 5 ppg. Come on, I would rather Matt Bonner then Horry.

    Horry seems to be only good when it counts. Too bad he can't be good in meaningless games. Anyways the most overrated I've already said before but is Steve Francis. Stackhouse is up there as well.
