Kevin Garnett isnt overrated. He gets no publicity or respect since his management has failed to put together a decent "team". He is the whole package. He plays great defense, rebounds, shoots, scores downlow, blocks shots, passes. He does it all, and he is the most complete player in the NBA right now. He gets no respect. Rarely do media people still call him the best Power Forward in basketball..
Kenyon Martin WAS the most overrated player in the league, he's now been exposed. I'd say as of right now, and I will get ripped for this so I'm ready, T-Mac is a little bit overrated, he had some incredible seasons in Orlando individually but his teams never do anything spectacular.
Ron Artest is one of the most overrated players in the league. The analyst overrate him a lot like he is the best player in the league. Im not saying that he isn't a great player, I just think that people think that he is better than he really is.
Ron Artest is the bet perimeter defender in the League, and is a good shooter and scorer. I dont see how he is overrated 1 bit..How about Nate Robinson? He gets overrated by a ton of people because he is a little guy that can dunk. He doesnt have a high ceiling at all. He is a 5"7 guy who plays like a Shooting Guard...He just doesnt have a great future at all.
Hmmm...Not sure why you posted Ben Gordon lolI'd say Peja...he fell off harder than Christopher Reeve's horse riding accident...

Oh did someone say the suns could excute their offense just as good by replacing nash with another pg? There isn't another pg in the league who can excute their offense as good as nash. I already explained it in the nash vs j kidd thread.
Manu Ginobili is overrated. He's a good player, but some places had him rated better than Paul Pierce, Vince Carter, and players of that calibur.I've always felt Peja was very overrated. Whenever I hear someone say he's an All-Star level talent I just think of the airballs he put up in crunch time during the Lakers series in 02. The only King that wanted the ball at the end of the game was Chris Webber. Yao WAS overrated until last year when he matured and went on a tear. He's not overrated anymore...outside China at least.

People that say Manu Ginobili are just biased spurs fans that dont get to watch anybody else play. Nobody that knows anything about basketball says he is better than Vince and Paul. Although, when fully healthy, he can be a very good basketball player.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Ender @ Jul 17 2006, 06:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Really? Name me 5? Jason Kidd is the only one I can really think of. Maybe Chris Paul now.Remember most the the Suns players were scrubs on other teams. They became better once they joined the Suns and Steve Nash.Nash isn't overrated. He is right where is he is supposed to be. He makes his teammates better and is a true floor leader. Most other PG's try to score on their own disregarding their teammates or they just aren't good.If every other team tried to run an offense like the Suns 95% would fail miserably at it, mainly because they don't have Nash.</div>who ever said that they would have to play the same style of basketball with a new point guard? If they had Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, Allen Iverson, gilbert arenas they would be just as good. They wouldnt have to play the same style of ball, but they would have just as good as a record. With that team, i think they could still win with a different style of offense. And i am tired of people giving all of the credit to Steve Nash for the other players playing well. ALL of the guys that have played with Steve Nash and are doing well are either young and they are just developing or they havent had the playing time on other teams.
That happens though. Whenever a team wins a championship the media, and others always overrate all the players on that team because they won the championship. I just try to ignore that..
Steve Nashgranted he's a great player and one of the best in the league but I honestly don't think he should of gotten 2 MVP awards in a row

Last season even as a Suns fan I was a guy that said he shouldn't win MVP. He definetly deserved that first one though IMO.

I don't think Yao is overrated at all maybe even underrated.And for the person who said KG please say you were on a "happy pill" when you said that? :HAHAHA: I can't believe someone actually said KG is overrated.

His only competition was Shaq. He did a little better this year but the team did worse and there were 3 other deserving candidates.

It hasnt been done very much in history. And for him to win 2 in a row is somewhat obsurred...even if the 2nd time he won MVP, he had a better season. Also, he had more competition this year....2 or 3 other guys that i thought deserved it more than him.
