That's not true at all, that team was far from weak.

T-Mac still led his team to playoffs and pushed 1 seeded Pistons to 7 games. KG has always been overrated, this seaosn just shows his recent decline.

 

Re: "KG is the most overrated underachiever in the NBA" - Pippen

KG's had help in other years besides 03-04, he had Billups in his breakout year along with Wally, but they ended up getting swept by the Mavs(in what I remember as the Black Angel series). Where KG called himself the Black Angel before the series because he was gonna take Dirk and drop him from the heavens. Also, I have no problem with KG, except that people who defend him and use his stats, but then say he had bad teams. Shouldn't those stats be skewed then in his favor? And I've yet to see KG dominate 4th quarters consistently on a daily basis. For a superstar, I'd like to see him take over a game in the waning minutes.He's like how people view Bron right now, great player but questionable in 4th.

 

Re: "KG is the most overrated underachiever in the NBA" - Pippen

Kg's just a <Censored>. In one game he refused to take a shot in the last 6 minutes of a game. What kind of crap is that? And they lost.

 

Re: "KG is the most overrated underachiever in the NBA" - Pippen

he refused? oh please..you always say that when you talke about KG. find something new.

 

Re: "KG is the most overrated underachiever in the NBA" - Pippen

Scottie Pippen did worse, is he a <Censored>?

Re: "KG is the most overrated underachiever in the NBA" - Pippen

Every player has gotten frustrated at some point in their career and let their team down, it's perfectly understandable to me.

Re: "KG is the most overrated underachiever in the NBA" - Pippen

well. wow. if yout hink about it it's true. and if you think about it.. it's not true.. KG is an awesome player.. he gets so much cred and publicity and all that surrounding him because of his versatility.. everyone said he couldn't and he couldn't and he couldn't but he did. as for everything else.. it's kind of accurate.

 

Re: "KG is the most overrated underachiever in the NBA" - Pippen

The thing that surprises me is that Pippen said this on tv

 

Re: "KG is the most overrated underachiever in the NBA" - Pippen

Thank you, Blaze!How can you guys say that KG is an underachiever if he hasn't had a true PG since Marbury left him. Cassell and Spreewell were garbage for Minnesota. KG puts up great numbers, nightly! Not only that, but he may be the most complete player in the NBA. He can do everything. A player that can't win with no help isn't a underachiever, IMO. Pipppen is an idiot. Why would you say something like this publically? It's understanable if you don't like someone but that is not the way you go about it. Plus, it's easy for him to call someone else an underachiever when he always had who on his side? Jordan. Could they win without him the year he left? No.Thank you.

 

Re: "KG is the most overrated underachiever in the NBA" - Pippen

Cassell was garbage? Cassell was the one carrying the load of the offense. KG fits best as the second option like Pippen. If he doesn't have that than Minnesota struggles.

 

Re: "KG is the most overrated underachiever in the NBA" - Pippen

I don't think that's true, he just needs some help with the scoring load. Cassell and Spreewell just caused problems, even if they did help out with the offense. I wouldn't call them garbage because they got it done on the court, but off the court was just drama. The TWolves also came within 2 games I believe of the Finals, so that proves that KG just needs help; just like any other superstar in the NBA.

If sam and Troy didnt get hurt for the playoffs there was a good chance they could of won it all. Thats why KG wanted them to stay. He knew he could go somewhere with them. To bad they aint come back like he wanted them to. But they wasnt Garbage.

 

Re: "KG is the most overrated underachiever in the NBA" - Pippen

Cassel and sprewell were garbage.I've heard it all.

 

Re: "KG is the most overrated underachiever in the NBA" - Pippen

Pippen has been known to say some very stupid things. He is not a good anylist at all.
