Dwyane Wade is very underrated, at least by the national media, he was completely ignored all last year and was overshadowed by LeBron/Melo. No one even paid any attention to him outside of South Florida until the playoffs rolled around, he is highly underrated.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting allstar44:</div><div class="quote_post">i gotta agree with ricky davis being underated... he simply puts on a show for the fans and gets the job done at the same time.. Vince gets a lot of bashing.... too much id leave toronto if i were him jus cuz the fans are such punks... hes not getting a free ride on highlight reals... hes always a top 10 scorer.. vince has the most underrated defence in the game.. poeple need to watch closer, cuz his man doesnt score a lot on him, ever.. theres the odd one or two.. hamilton has before... but im not sure who else? vince earns every positive reaction and characteristic he has..</div> DId I just hear Vine Carter and underrated in the same sentence?

1. Vince Carter is the most underrated player in the game ( from analysis standpoint) Everytime reporters are talking about the best players in the league vince carters name is never mentioned... why is he never on all-nba team anymore...If you look at VC's game the only thing he is lacking is defense...but name a superstar guard that plays defense 100% of the time! Vince Carter is the BEST OFFENSIVE GUARD IN THE GAME PERIOD. you say Tracy McGrady/Kobe and Iverson are the best...well ur wrong! Vince Carter is the so unselfish that if he surrounded by some decent players he would average a double-double in the season( UNLIKE Kobe where PASS is not in his vocabulary!) Vince Carter is also the most clutch player in the NBA... When have u ever seen Tracy McGrady hit a buzzer-beater...hmmm let me think...NEVER! T-mac has never hit a clutch shot! If u see all of the close magic games he PASSES the ball when they really want him to shoot and worst of all he gives his teammates a bad look like its their fault they lost! T-MAc is not clutch...he's like Shaq...he doesnt want the ball at the end of games. Vince Carter is a team player and a lead by example kind of guy...You will never see discourage a teammate or cry about being benched...He wouldnt act like Allen Iverson!!!!! I hope u've learned how underated Vince is and if he is a raptor next year...look for vince to have a career year and look for the raptors to make some commotion in the eastern conference!!!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting kevinduncan_21:</div><div class="quote_post"> Vince Carter is also the most clutch player in the NBA... </div> I highly disagree. Kobe is BY FAR the most clutch player in todays league. HE is more clutch then T-Mac tho. I actually think Derek FIsher is more clutch than VC? Whens the last time Vince hit a shot to decide the game? or in the final seconds? I dont remember. It may be because I dont watch too many Raptors games but I think I wouldve heard about it. AI is also more clutch than Vince. I hope your not someone in that other thread who said Vince should be next years MVP.
VC is not under rated and he gets recognized for what he does,any player that is on the All Star team is not underated.

Vince Carter fans just get pissed because people say hes overrated and he is. Hes still a great player though just overrated.

I could say the same thing about AI, since I can't remember the last time he did that. Vince is a great shooter and passer, and he's underrated for those aspects. He's a better shooter than Kobe and T-mac, and his passing is just a bit worse than Kobe's but better than Mcgrady. And more importantly, he's less selfish than the other two. I'm not here to say he's the best player ever, but I do believe people criticize him unfairly most of the time. It's the whole bandwagon thing... People criticize Vince Carter, and everyone else does it too. In my opinion Vince is a top 5 guard when he's healthy. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">VC is not under rated and he gets recognized for what he does,any player that is on the All Star team is not underated.</div> He's underrated when everyone seems to think that he doesn't belong on the team, and gets benched most of the game. It's the same with Jamaal Magloire. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">ya really I mean the guy starts on it too and hes underrated?

Otherwise he probably gets picked on more than any other all star in the league. [EDIT] I'm not saying VC is the most underrated. I already stated who I thought was. [/EDIT]
.. Vince Carter is underrated.. I heard a lotta pees sayin that Vince is not even top 15,, 20 in the nba.. c?mon..... Only cuz hw goes to the all star games doesnt mean he?s not underrated... he goes because of the fans not cuz of the media.. coaches.. brad Mille rwnt to the all star game and is underrated too.. Magloire,,
Bobby Jackson Ronald "Flip" Murray - This guy can do it all, crazy crossovers and a great shooter. I think he missed more dunk attempts than any one last year but still they were great moves to the basket.
My underated list is like this: #1. Kirilinko #2. Quentin Richardson #3. Samuel Dalembert I know Dalembert is a reach but he blocks, boards, and he can score some too...Once he becomes an everyday player I think he is going to average like 12 points 9 boards and 2-4 blocks
vince has hit many clutch shots, clutch passes which lead to game winners (donyell marshall, bosh 2 times, rose, etc. at least 7 times this season alone), all around clutch plays from steals to blocks. he has defence.. ppl need to watch closer, just cuz he doesnt get lots of steals doesnt make him a bad defender, he gets a decent amount of blocks (on very big men), and his man can very rarely drive being uncontested.. just saying vince in my oppinion isnt given the credi the deserves as an all around player
I think Ronald "Flip" Murray is one of the most underrated players ever...without Ray Allen (ballhog)...he was scorin 20 ppg and doin crazy things...but then he just went back down...hes got a crazy crossover...LOL them rookies were gettin crossed in the Rookie Vs. Sophmore game!

IMO Vince is a top 10 arguably player in the league. Most of you make him sound like hes top 5 though and that s just wrong.
Antawn Jamison!!!!!!!!!!! But, If I had to go all-time it would be Bob McAdoo, representin Greensboro.
Gotta second the opinions on Kirilinko, Jamison and Dalembert. Expect breakout years from all of them. Is Marquis Daniels underrated? Recently he resigned with the Mavs and he now makes more money than any other player in last year's draft. More than LeBron. So I guess he's given his props financially. But if you watch the guy play, he makes a play every fifteen seconds. Keep an eye on him next year.
Elton Brands never gets recognized and he is a 20 10 player in the NBA,I think he could maybe be on the all star team now that somebody will need to fill in Shaqs place.
