Most overrated NBA player today?

[doublejs07]

Lol. Zach's double doubles are misleading? wow what kinda bull is that? Jared Jeffries, I agree on. Q? WOOOOW Nobody overrates him, and he isn't fat to begin with. He's been bulky like that for the longest. Obviously his game has been diminished since his LA Clippers days and multiple injuries but NOBODY is saying anything about him. You're reaching for the most part except for Jared, he's a bum.
I'd like to hear your definition of overrated btw.


He gets the ball, you know he is going to shoot. At times he KILLS momentum due to taking an ill-advised shot. They couldn't get rid of him faster inPortland. It's no coincidence that their team has improved mightily since he has left. Zach Randolph was getting close to "cancer" status. Checkthis:

To hear head coach Nate McMillan tell it, the Trail Blazers became Roy's team last February. That's when the rookie guard decided he'd heard enough out of veteran Zach Randolph. In what had become a postgame locker room tradition, Randolph was spouting off about his teammates' deficiencies without acknowledging his own. "You need to pick up your game," Roy told the petulant forward. Everyone fell silent, including Randolph.
"Up to that point," McMillan says, "not even the veterans would say anything to Zach."


He's a monster in the paint and a load to handle. However, when you jack up shots at his pace and hit less than 50% from the floor for a guy who makes hisliving down low, I'm sorry but that's overrated. On top of it all, he is an ABSOLUTE liability on the defensive end. The Knicks are faced with a 5 on 3when playing defense when he and Curry are on the court together. He's overrated in every sense of the word. He brings nothing to the Knicks other thansporadic offense. No leadership, no defense, and no conditioning....

Quentin Richardson...you say his game has diminished since his days in the Clip joint? Well, IMO he had his best year as a pro last season in New York. He cameoff that contract year in LA, and scored big in Phoenix. I just don't think he has been the same since his brother got killed. What exactly does he bringto the table? He WAS one of the best rebounding 3's in the NBA. He began settling more for outside shots, rather than taking the ball to the hoop. Andyes...he has gotten big. He goes an EASY 250...

Overrated to me...misleading stats, not justifying the contract you have, being a liability to your team in one way or another....that's overrated

 

[N41D]

@ Zach Randolph not being overrated...

 

[dottsballer5]

Whenever hear this dude is STILL the best point guard in league I go crazy.

 

[iceman7920]

KG is a career underachiever and the most over-rated player.

 

[dottsballer5]

dwade...the guy gets his SHOULDER injured and gets wheeled off...

It's pretty obvious you're new to NikeTalk now my friend.

And saying JKidd is not even top 3 PG in the league is absolutely rediculous. How many triple doubles does he have thisseason alone?

Ok, I understand what you're saying about Zach. But lately he's been passing and taking his shots in rhythm and letting the game come to him (forthe most part). He has done well so far this season than Curry, or anybody else not named Nate and Jamal. If anyone is a momentum killer, its Eddy Curry. Hebrings more of a down side to this team than anyone and its a shame that Isiah continues to start him over David Lee or anyone else.
Q Rich...I dunno abouthim having his best season last year. He was up and down alot, couldn't stay healthy and couldn't get into anysort of rhythm on offense or defense. It was good that he still was able to average 13 ( I have no idea how he did btw) but he has the ability to average 20ppg. I agree with you saying he should go to the basket more but I guess he has that Vince Carter syndrome and doesn't want to feel the contact anymore

...

 

[acidicality]

Larry Hughes ain't overrated, i think it's a given fact that he really, really sucks, so he might be underrated now just based off of that

T-Mac
Steve Nash...yea I said it. Top 5 PG yes, but I think part of it is attributed to the system he plays in.

 

[dottsballer5]

KG is a career underachiever and the most over-rated player.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. Try again later

What are your reasons for Kidd being overrated? He is STILL a top 3 PG in the NBA....i'm sorry, but if you're in the top 3 at your position, there is no way for you to be overrated...that being said:


what is everyone's definition of "overrated?"


here are my contributions (Sorry, NYK fans....)

He averages the most misleading double-double in the NBA....his 20/10 from a few years back was a joke...

Ernie Grunfeld KNEW jared jeffries wasn't worth the full MLE....30 million later, he is averaging 2.7 points and 2.9 rebounds per game....people like his "versatility," but he is a fraudulent defensive player. Reason being, people got hyped off of him D'ing up Lebron in the playoffs 2 years ago. Congrats at being 6'11" and being able to keep up with players who are shorter and can go on the perimeter. I guess if you are 6'11" and can run, you too will get a hefty contract from Zeke. I liken his defensive prowess standing out on the Wizards to a decent looking chick who hangs with a bunch of ugly girls....that decent looking chick will start to look like Heidi Klum after a while....what a bum

Q....this dude keeps getting fatter, and fatter, and fatter, and fatter, and fatter, and fatter, and fatter, and fatter, and fatter....won't be soon before long that he has balooned up to 270...and for some reason, David Lee can't take his minutes...the WORST 3pt "specialist" I have seen in the league

as a Knicks fan i must say i agree with all 3 of those
That is except for maybe Zach, i dont think anybody thinks he is better than he really is. Firstoff i dont know how 20 and 10 is a joke, 2nd off he might be the best well rounded offensive power forward in the league. He got a lights out jumper, he cantake it in strong, and bully his way inside, he works hard and is VERY tough on the glass despite being undersized and under athletic. The reason why he aintthat good and not elite is cause he dont play D for *$%@ and although he is a good passer, he dont give up that !!$@$%# ball.

In Jared's defense i dont think anybody overates him in NY anymore, he is booed alot at the Garden. But he is still a very versatile 6'11 guy and his Dis not as good as advertised but still pretty damn good, at least for the Knicks.

And Q cant shoot for *$%@, anyone who thinks that Q can still shoot 3s overates him right there. i respect Q because he is always hustling and helping on theboards cause fat bum Curry cant move for *$%@, but i hate him as a player. This guy shoots 3s like he is healthy and has Steve Nash passing him the rock. Hegets an OK look and has a great 3 point shooter like Crawford right on the wing and he will jack it up regardless. This N' Cant shoot for *$%@, but jacksup shots all !!$@$%# day.

And in another note for overated Knicks players, any body who thinks that Eddy Curry is not...

A) the worst starting center in the NBA...
B) the worst starter in the NBA...
C) the worst center in the NBA...
D) the worst player in the NBA...
E) the softest player in the NBA...
F) the worst and softest player ever in a Knicks uniform...
G) the softest and worse player in NBA history...

automatically overates this bum.

He dont do *$%@, he dont hustle, dont rebound, dont play D, dont block shots, dont pass out of doubles (leading to turnovers), when he does its a ******ed pass(more turnovers), he dont dunk on people although he is bigger, and he dont run, etc.

He brings nothing at all to the table and is the worst player in the NBA anybody who argues that (i dont care who we are talking about Kwame or Perkins or evenJerome James would kill this dude) overates him

EDIT: just had to comment on this

Well, IMO he had his best year as a pro last season in New York.
you're kidding right, there is no way that averaging 13 ppg and shooting 37% in playing only 49 games is Quentin Richardson's bestseason... not by a longshot buddy.

you got that part right

 

[akajae]

gilbert

 

[N41D]

he might be the best well rounded offensive power forward in the league.
Zach Randolph? Ugh...

 

[shrk1001]

Rashard Lewis is overrated. No contest.

Name me one guy in the NBA that can have the outside shot that he has, the ability to take it inside, and his post game. The only guy that i can think ofis maybe TD, although Z Bo got wayyyy more range than he does, and than theres Dirk, but Dirk cant take it in as nice as Zach.

I didnt say he is the best pf in the NBA, not by ANY means. Not only is he undersized and underathletic, but he never passes, he forces shots, and holds upthe offense, also he plays 0 D. But he might be the best well rounded player in the NBA. An argument can be made but he definitley may be.

 

[skylarkster]

Right now, as of today, I say Chris Paul and Steve Nash > Jason Kidd.

 

[acbboyz84]

NT IS OVERRATED

 

[solemate96]

It probably has to be Wade.

if i were to argue if kidd was overrated, i'd point to the fact that the nets are 18-25 in the east and have lost 8 in a row. triple doubles arenice and all but the team isnt winning. CP3 has less talent (arguably) and his in a tougher conference. B diddy's team is 8 games over .500. but i dontthink kidd is overrated, but i'd take nash, cp3, and baron over him

 

[N41D]

Rasheed, Duncan, Garnett, Boozer, Dirk...

 

[true 3 blue]

^still doesn't make him overrated.

 

[scuse7]

Peep the defender.

Rasheed and Duncan possibly have that. Although Z Bo has a nicer shot than TD and more range. But out of all 3 combined i dont think Boozer has nearly theskill set that Zach does and i think Zach has a more complete offensive set than KG and Dirk.

Im not saying he is better by any means than any of them. I really dont even like Zach, but he is one of the most talented offensive PFs in the league. Andthats just the TRUTH

 

[indohan]

Gilbert Arenas is not overrated. He might over gym and over "blog".
KG overrated? ROLF!
T-mac? Well, he make crazy point per game some other times.... But justice serves because he's not an all-star starter anymore. (My vote).
Kidd overrated? Best PG in the league. Which PG doesn't get TO? PG holds the ball most of the time.
Iverson overrated? Shortest player who've won scoring champ.
Vince overrated? No one rated him to be the best SG in the league now.

For the record, IMO, he's the best dunker in the history.
Ben Wallace is not overrated.
