I think it gotta be Mr.Olowakandi for now. butta i think if darko still not getting the opportunities he will be close.
I don't understand how Dark could be overrated if he doesn't play. If he doesn't get the opportunity to prove anything, how can you be overrated? I don't understand it.
Well, there are so many similar threads, why would you open a new one? Vinsanity, just for the record
I believe most overrated for a contract is Carlos Boozer. I meen I know he is a great player but I meen not 11 million a year, or at least not that high just yet, you need to wait longer for that contract.

I believe the most over rated player in the nba is got to be in my opinion. At this point Erick Dampier. he had one good season now all these teams are after him tring to give him a big pay day. The only good year he had was a contract year so that makes him over rated imo.
Steve Nash is was given way to much money by the Suns so I guess he is really overated,to me he should have goten a mid level contract but thye have him a huge contract that he isnt woth.
^ you're kidding right? The Suns overpaid for him and they shouldn't have signed for him for so long but he is worth way more than 5 million, which is what the MLE averages out to be. Nash will give you 15 ppg 9 apg and he shoots 50% fg and 40% 3pt. He finished 3rd last year in apg and on top of that he's an all-star. Look at other pgs in the league who have similar numbers and how much they're getting paid: Bibby, Marbury, Francis, Davis. IMO he's one of the best pure point guards (next to Kidd) in the league who looks for his teammates first, which we can't say for Marbury, Francis or Davis. I think he's worth about 8.5 million.
Peja Stojakovic. He wouldn't be able to shoot on a crap team if it meant his life. The Kings have a system that allows him to constantly get open shots. Rarely do you see someone contesting his shot, and that's what makes him an allstar when he's nothing but another Kyle Korver. People even say he can carry a team on his own. He's a good player, but he needs assistance to maintain his game unlike the REAL allstars.
True,during the regular season Peja is great but in the play offs if you put a decent defender on him he will fall apart he has choked in the play offs before and it seems like he is making a reputation for himself as overated.
Kevin Garnett should be considered. Vince Carter hasn't been overrated for two years. Unless you're going by All-Star game voters.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Saves:</div><div class="quote_post">Baron.</div> How can you say that? Last season was his best so far, he led the league in steals, was 6th in the NBA in ppg, he was 7th in assists, he was second in 3pointers made and much else... http://www.nba.com/playerfile/baron_davis/...x.html?nav=page So how can you say he is overrated? He is one of the best guards in the league.

I would have to go with Rasheed Wallace. Everyone says he has so much talent but what's the point when you don't use it? For a power forward, he's never averaged more than 8.1 rebounds and that was one season, all the others he averaged 6-7 rpg which is pretty mediocre for one of the supposed "most talented and athletic forwards in the league". Everytime I see him play it looks like he could care less and it wouldn't make any difference to him if he was not even playing at all. He is nowhere close to the same level Duncan and Garnett are at.

Rasheed is still a very good power forward and If he was overrated he would not of been the missing piece to a championship. He has played a difference role in Detroit and It has worked. Infact Rasheed is far more underrated than he is overrated. His defensive game is terrific, many people never notice what he can do on the defensive end. He is still a good scorer and is a guy who can take over on both ends of the floor. He does things that never show up on the boxscore. Not many players are close to Duncan and Garnett but in terms of head to head match-ups. Rasheed can go toe to toe with TD and KG which he has done in the past. I can't believe you would think Rasheed could care less If he was playing basketball. Why else would he get techinals and mouth off to the refs? because he is so emotional and wants to win so badly. You only have to actually watch him play consistantly to see how badly he loves to win and how dissapointed he gets when his team loses.

Also, he is a PG shooting 32.1% on 3s, while, for example, LeBron is a SG and shooting 29%.
