    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Ming637:</div><div class="quote_post">overrated:LeBron James

    i hav to disagree with all of those especially the Allan Houston one, his probably one of the most overrated players in the league. Lebron deserves his hype, and what would the T-Wolves be with KG.

    Paul Pierce is the heart and soul of the Celtics and a damn fine player. I think he deserves every penny.

    Overpaid: Lakers' bench, Shaq- he's good but the guy is not worth the 26 million dollar he got this year, he makes twice as much as Kobe who many now consider the star of the Lakers, and he makes more than twice as much as Duncan.

    Under-rated: Andre Kirelenko (Still not looked at as a top player in the league, when he clearly is. He may be the best All-Around player in the league, after Garnett.)

    Over-rated: Latrell Spreewell (Has the ability to be a good player, but is so inconsistent, and gets way too much credit.)

    Over-paid: Dikembe Mutombo (Please, 17 million a year to have Nazr Mohammed take your job? Thats the definition of over-paid.)

    How can you say Grant Hill is overpaid? There is no way anyone would have known he would have these problems.

    Overpaid : Allan Houston
    Overrated : Steve Francis, Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, Chris Webber, Cuttino Mobley
    Underrated : Ray Allen, Matt Harpring, Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko, Stephen Jackson, Erick Dampier, Tony Parker (Even though he fell apart in the last 4 games)

    Underrated: Shawn Marion- This player is an amazing defender yet does not get noticed whatsoever. He also rebounds the ball exceptionally well for a Small Foward and yet again does not get recognized.

    Overrated: Allen Iverson- Call me a hater. I just don't think that jacking up 30 shots a game and scoring 30 points is efficient. Call me crazy. His attitude and perception of himself is also overrated.

    Overpaid: Dikembe Mutombo- All of those years of being completely one-dimensional have finally caught up to him.

    I agree with all the choices CourtVision made, Marion is definately not giving his props, even when he was winning he wasn't.

    I also agree about AI being overatted in a sense, most people don't want to admit it and most people will say he has heart and all but his scoring even with free throw attempts and three's is the least efficient out of all the players in the league that score 20+ points per game.

    Haha Mutombo's contract is funny, Allan Houston is also making too much dough.
