lol watch the language..newayz I think IMO all spurs players sux...they are good because of TD.(period) ginobli parker rose all of em will be nowhere without him.same as derek fisher and others from the lakers.horry is good.
Will anyone ever explain what this "hype" exactly is and where they are getting it from? What does the kid have to do? 20, 6, and 6 for a kid out of high school? We have not seen stuff like that from any rookie since Magic and Larry. I just think people are jealous and tired of hearing about him, that is why they knock him. That is about as stupid as saying that KG gets paid too much.
Overpaid: Wow, so many...Shandon Anderson, Tom Gugliotta, Vin Baker, Eddie Jones, Brian Grant, Damon Stoudamire, Dale Davis, Rasheed Wallace, Vitali Potapenko, Calvin Booth, Jerome James, Mo Taylor, Moochie Norris, Eddie Robinson, Theo Ratliff, Alan Henderson, Antonio Davis, Bob Sure...I could go on forever. Overrated: Baron Davis(Come on, he has quite possibly the worst shot selection in the league, as evidenced by his stellar 38% FG Percentage and his almost 10 3 Pointers jacked up per game.) Corliss Williamson is also very overrated. He's a blackhole, and can't play a lick of Defense. Underrated: Using NBA.com's efficiency formula,((PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK) - ((FGA - FGM) + (FTA - FTM) + TO)) / G, Antonio Daniels currently ranks 37th in the entire NBA in Efficiency Rating Per 48 Minutes. I found this very interesting, considering some of the notable point guards he's ahead of. Among point guards, only Jason Kidd, Sam Cassell and Andre Miller are ranked higher than Daniels. This puts Daniels ahead of guys like Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis, Gary Payton, Mike Bibby, Steve Nash, Baron Davis and Chauncey Billups(just to name a few). Daniels also ranks first in the league in Assist/Turnover ratio. Also, Shareef Abdur-Rahim. Say what you want about how bad all the teams his been on are, but come on, you can't blame him, he's done his job. He's not a superstar, but he goes out there and does his job.
Overpaid: Allan Houston, Vin Baker, Grant Hill, Brad Miller, Chris Webber Underrated: Peja Stojakovic, Michael Redd, Elton Brand, AK47, Jalen Rose, Bobby Jackson, Desmond Mason, Rashard Lewis, Jim Jackson, Jamal Crawford, Eddie Jones, Baron Davis, Marcus Camby, Erick Dampier, Jason Richardson Overrated: Vince Carter, Antoine Walker, Lamar Odom, Latrell Sprewell, Eddie Curry. Anybody saying Kobe is overrated or Shaq is overpaid is just ridiculous.
just a note..I don't think Jalen is underrated at all. If anything he's overrated anymore. His game his digressed since college and his consistency is all but gone..I love Jalen but I would place him squarely in the overrated bin. Horrible,horrible shot selection and horribly inconsistent. In college people made some comparisons to him being like Magic,sadly that comparison is null since his time in the NBA.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BenWallace3:</div><div class="quote_post">Behind Shaq, this guy is the 2nd best center is the west.</div> This is about Elton Brand ..... He is not a center .... he is a Power Foward Under Rated - Micheal Redd <------ the most under paided player in the NBA also. Over Rated - VC/LBJ/ Nesterovic <---- i remember commentaries were sayin he was going to be big with Spurs Over Paided - possibly the WHOLE KNICKS ROSTER and also KG is worth all that 16 mill he earns
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting swearer:</div><div class="quote_post">bastard michael redd is underrated cuz he sucked like **** last year, smart one.</div> 15ppg off the bench and he sucked last year.... yeah you make sense. First person I've seen mock Redd on this board. I remember seeing highlights of him when he was in college, and I was real surprised he fell all the way into the 40's in the draft. I love Redd, and I'm glad hes having such a great season, he deserves it.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Ming637:</div><div class="quote_post">The language has gone far enough. Keith Van Horn is great. What are you are talking about he can't shoot for crap? If he can't shoot for crap, then he shoudn't be in the NBA.</div> Can we keep swearer here on JBB before he gets banned? He's cracking me up. LMAO :biggrin2:
Overrated- Allen Iverson one of the worst shooters in the NBA - Darius Miles not even going to get into this one - Ricky Davis wow he can jump high but he cant do much else Underrated- AK-47- He gets no love but is one of the best all around players in the league - Sam Cassel one of the best point guards in the league and he is 32 - Boozer is one of the best up and coming players and gets no love - LeBron James yea I said it underrated LeBron James he has already surpassed the hype and has left critics speechless
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting swearer:</div><div class="quote_post">bastard michael redd is underrated cuz he sucked like **** last year, smart one.</div> can y'all believe that kid is only fourteen, speaking that foul? An underrated player is Peja Stojakovic. His ability to lead, and his clutch outside shots. And still he doesn't get the credit he deserves
overrated entire nj nets roster underrated armstrong overpaid kg , he is one of the best but with no rings he shouldn't be the highest paid player in the league
Most Overpaid: Shawn Kemp... How many games did he play? Overrated: 'Sheed Underrated: Redd (people are underrating KVH, too)
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Waneko:</div><div class="quote_post">Keith Van Horn overpaid and overrated (still).</div> Van Horn was never overrated and I don't know about being overpaid.
underated- i got to say malik rose, he works so hard and is really agressive when it comes to his game, also that facial he gave matumbo in the playoffs was a classic. Overrated- Lebron James, they say he suppoesed to be the next jordan but i just dont see that happening. Overpaid- has to be shaq,he supposed to be the toughest player in the league yet he sits out on a toe injury
There are so many for each catigory, but I'll pick the player I think MOST relates to the catigory. UNDERRATED = Andre Miller (granted his numbers are down in Denver, but they play a team game, so he won't get great numbers. He's still a great point guard, I think in a few years BEST PG is either him or Baron) OVERRATED = Jason Kidd, hands down! All this MVP talk for a guy who can't shoot and turns it over way too much. He has this good guy image, this from a guy who beats his wife, talks trash about players, coaches, and franchises. He got himself traded twice, and got at least 1 coach fired, and flipped off fans who boo'd him (Artest got suspended and fined, Jason Kidd got off w/o even an ESPN anchor saying how bad it was) -- People always think he's the reason the Nets got to the finals, but when Marbury was there they never had a healthy Van Horn, K-Mart was a rookie, Richard Jefferson was at U of A and Byron Scott was with the Kings coaching staff. The other guys deserve some respect... but Kidd is so overrated he gets it all OVERPAID = I agree with everybody else... anybody getting more than $8 mil/year and NOT concidered for the All-Star game.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Gotrunks226:</div><div class="quote_post">and also KG is worth all that 16 mill he earns</div> I think KG gets closer to 26mil a year...
