    Best baseline move followed by a dunk in the history of the NBA. Get's by 3 defenders ON the baseline, and then shits on Ewing. Classic.

    The switch hand is nothing special.

    Greatest dunk? Tie between:
    Melvin Levitt....kid was almost parrallel to the ground.
    and the....
    720 dunk.

    2 words: The Dunk

    2 points is 2 points. Whether you lay it up, shoot it, or dunk it, it's always 2 points.

    The dunk is overrated because it only gives you 2 points.

    ^ rather stupid if you ask me. The dunk is hard to block, it's a STRONG MOVE. You always want your bigs to dunk the ball, not to go soft and make a layup and get owned. The dunk is also a huge factor when it comes to raising the confidence level and morale of a team. So I'll have to disagree with you on that one.

    Most overrated: MJ's switching hands.

    I think Kobe's lob to Shaq that year against Portland was highly overrrated lol. U know the one where Shaq look like he just won the lottery.

    Well it's like this
    In soccer, you score a goal from far distance, people appreciate that goal more over than just a normal header.
    Wouldnt it be really boring if every NBA player did layups?

    I'm totaly confused about the distance thing. Didn't you mean to say that it would be really boring if every NBA player shot 3's? A layup isn't that much farther from the rim than a dunk, but yes layups would be boring.

    If your going with players, the most overrated now is Lebron. Even considering he's so young. Is he getting any better from last year? Or Kobe. His skill is great. One on one he could win, but this is a team game. If your going with moves, its the hand switch. However, not all of Michael Jordan's moves were overrated.

    IF you're gonna mod, don't mod with bias. The thread topic is to post an overrated move. Someone posted an overrated player. So I commented on that post. You just edited out post because you're a Kobe fan. But, seeing as how you didn't edit out his post. We can post an overrated player?
    Most Overrated Player: Kobe Bryant
    Easily him.

    Nobody is moderating with bias here. It's overrated move..not player. Stop baiting or don't post. I've had it with posters getting away with violations in this forum. We're cracking down. Watch what you post, follow the guidelines, or don't post. If you continue to violate guidelines, you will be suspended pending administrator approval and further action might be taken.

    Scroll up. Someone posted an overrated PLAYER. And I commented on THAT post. How about you edit out his post too to show you're fair and not biased about anything anti-Kobe? I think what you meant to say was "Stop talking bad about Kobe or don't post". You're abusing your moderator privileges. How about you stop editing these posts and let the rest of the forum decide whether or not you're being biased.

    You've already been officially warned, the next step is a suspension. If you want to have this discussion, take it to the PM system....not over the site. You called out the other poster, called him a typical Kobe fan. You baited him, personally attacked him. Those are two violations of guidelines. Now you're challenging my warnings, another violation. That's three violations just in one thread. I'm 100% positive I can filter through your posts and find more. Cut the baiting and personal attacks, or you're going to wind up with a suspension.

    If you have any more to comment on this, take it to the PM system.

    I don't know if I'd consider that one overrated. That really solidified the momentum for L.A. It was a game changer...unlike Jordan's switch.

    Overrated moves? Jordan's switch and LeBron's dunks. God, his dunks are aweful.

    Underrated moves? Jordan's steal on Malone that led to his game winning shot.

    <div class="quote_poster">phunDamentalz Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">The position he was in when he made that move made it amazing though. He was very close to the basket.</div>

    Yeah...everyone sayin they can do it...which yeah many of us can...the thing we cant do is get the elevation & hangtime MJ did when he switched hands...yeah organically the move is nothin extremely special...but going the speed/hangtime/elevation MJ was going every last 1 of us would fall on our face tryna pull that move off.
