Not when people like Ron Artest, Amare Stoudemire and Allen Iverson are out there.

Underrated:
Tony Parker - almost absurd to call a Finals MVP underrated still, but I think he belongs up there with Chris Paul and Deron Williams in the discussion of best point guards in the league. Not a traditional PG, but still one of the most effective and efficient PGs in the league. His name should be right in the middle of the discussion of the top 3 or 4 PGs in the league every single time.
Stephen Jackson - not so much on these boards because Spurs fans know his value, but a great all around player who is tough and unafraid. As a Detroit fan, I should probably dislike him if not hate him, but I love the way he plays.
Travis Outlaw - I think he could be a quality starter on most teams and he's clutch. I think he even has star potential. Part of me thinks McMillan doesn't start him or play him as much to keep his price tag low so they can re-sign him long term. But, then again Pritchard's dumbass tried to sign Hedo so prolly not.
Al Horford - I think he's great and could be a borderline all star if he were featured more on a team.
Mehmet Okur - not always mentioned among the best centers in the league, but is probably somewhere in the top 6 to top 10 range of centers in the league. Granted, the center position is extremely weak in today's NBA. I still think he gets forgotten.

Overrated:
Mo Williams - probably underrated before last season, but now, overrated
Manu Ginobili - hard for me to say as he's one of my favorite players but some peopl try to argue that he's relatively close to the level of Kobe and Wade. I love how he plays, but I don't think he's close.
Paul Pierce - mostly by himself, but along with anyone else who thinks he's anywhere near the likes of LeBron and Kobe.
David Lee - He's barely worth $7-8 million per year, much less $10-12 million. I guess I should wait to see if he actually gets that much, but I still think he's way overrated. Great rebounder with good hustle, but doesn't give much more than that.
Chris Andersen - good energy player with a nice comeback story, but not the impact player some try to make him out to be. More of a sideshow act than a prime time player. He's capable of making spectacular plays and impact plays, but I think he gets a little too much hype for being a poor man's Ben Wallace (of a few years ago)

DUNCANownsKOBE2
07-15-2009, 03:53 PM
And idk who the hell has ever ranked Mo Williams ahead of Parker or anyone who still ranks Nash ahead of Parker. The consensus is he's the 3rd best PG in the NBA, which is think is a joke. Stephon Marbury's bitch isn't the 3rd best PG in the NBA.

I have to say you are a obvious homer, Dirk is overrated bro, timmy, has won 4 championships you can't ever overrate a guy like that unless you say he is the best ever which i don't believe but he is a winner unlike dirk who can't even win with a team of all stars. I agree otherwise with what you said, just not the obvious hating on the spurs, but what can I say if you ain't got no haters(jealousy) you ain't doin it right.

Leetonidas
07-15-2009, 04:12 PM
Duncan is by far my favorite player but seriously, if you don't think Tony Parker is the main man on this team now, you don't know shit about Spurs ball. DoK I usually agree with you on a lot of subjects but this I have to disagree with. Yes, defensively, Tim Duncan is the Spurs anchor. But Tony Parker is the motor that makes the Spurs' offense go. And he doesn't get NEARLY the credit he deserves. All anyone says is that he is lucky because he plays with Timmy. Well, when Tim and Manu were out late in the season, Tony Parker put the team on his shoulders on dominated.

On a team like the Kings or other sub .500 teams, Tony could easily average 25 and 7.

Overrated-

Mo Williams- he isn't an all-star.
McGrady- Lots of skills but one of the less effective players I have ever saw.
Artest- Big heart, small brain. Lot of strength, little talent.
West- a big man that only shoots jumpers and has two all-star games
Bynum- 'till now the GOAT of overrated players.

Underrated-

Deron Williams- It's a joke that he hasn't been to the all-star game.
Ginobili- most people look at his stats and think he's just another solid role player. When he is actually a star. His ability to make team mates better unfortunately doesn't translate into the stats sheet, fortunately it does translate into championships.
Butler- Borderline all-star that doesn't get hyped much.
Scola- He could easily become a borderline all-star if his team gets him the ball a bit more, specially in pick and roll plays.
Biedrinis- Before these last playoffs I'd have said Gortat

That's pretty retarded. Whoever got the ball to start off with would win. Tony would blow right by Tim but Tim would just dominate Tony in the paint. I don't necessarily think going 1-on-1 proves shit, due to the huge size difference.

And :lol @ all the Mav fans saying Dirk is underrated and Duncan is overrated. Is it like unanimous with you guys? I don't think 1 Spurs fan had Dirk as overrated yet.

I was this close to put him on my overrated list. I think he makes like 22 points on 20 shots per game, that's not good. He doesn't have the talent nor the leading ability to be the top guy of a team like he's considered to be.

Leetonidas
07-15-2009, 04:39 PM
I mean, surely you can't think Duncan is overrated after he put up 40 points on 1 leg in 2006 versus your team. What about the 40 he hung on the Suns in Game 1 last year?

I don't understand the hate. Seriously. I don't find Dirk to be overrated, so I can't see how any would find Duncan overrated.

It has nothing to do with Dirk. I don't have a secret agenda to prove, I'm not even really much a Dirk fan. I just started feeling bad for him after all the unwarranted hate/criticism. He still remains my least favorite of the old big 3 (Nash/Finley/Dirk)

I see some laker fans think that Bynum would be better then Howard in a couple of years, they even had a poll about it at LG, and Bynum was slightly winning, also, some laker fans think Trevor Ariza will be an All-star.

Parker is underrated for sure, but not from a basketball standpoint. He is underrated from a respect point of view. He gets little to no press and he is often forgotten when best pg talks arise.

The dude finished top 10 in MVP voting this year and has a finals MVP and DOK is still hating on him. What does that tell you? He can do no more to show how good he is. This is just the way of the world.

Its not hate its envy that Dirk will never be Duncan. Duncan is a great all around player on both ends of the court. Dirk is a great shooter. I wouldn't call Duncan underrated cause his greatness is recongized except by Mav fans. Simply cause they are ignorant douches.

Like I said, Dirk is underrated by the FANS and even some talking heads. That he won an MVP isn't relevant.

On ESPN alone:
Dirk Nowitzki isn't a superstar -Stephen A Smith
Legler's insinuations that Dirk was the problem, in a Hornets series were Dirk played great.
Mashburn's insinuation that JET was the best Mavs players.

On these boards:
Manu/Parker > Dirk
Various 2nd tier players considered better than Dirk at various points: Melo, Boozer, Stoudamire, Nash, Pierce, etc
Dirk trade scenarios for Tyrus Thomas and Anthony Randolph
References to my man as a "vagina" or as a "choker" despite his incessant displays of mental/physical toughness and lifetime 25/10 playoff averages.



And then some...

All of this for a 4 time all-NBA 1st teamer, 9 time all-NBA player, 9 time all star, 1 time MVP, and 2006 NBA Champion and of course, the best PF in the universe.

To me this is a case of underrated, I've also seen in the past insinuations that Josh Howard is the best player on the Mavs.

I am not saying that I agree that Duncan is overrated, but being better than a player does not mean you cannot be overrated.

Kobe is the best player in the game right now, but people compare him to Jordan, so he is overrated. Because although he is great, he is no where near the level people compare him to.

Just like the "clutch" label. He gets all the coaches/players saying Kobe this and that, but when you look at the stats, Kobe is not even close to the most "clutch" player statistically...

So you can be great and still be overrated imo.

Most people here bash on Dirk as they have a good hatred for the Mavericks. It's a rivalry man. I'm sure most people don't HONESTLY believe that Tony/Manu > Dirk. That's just ridiculous. I believe Dirk is one of the best PFs of all time, but he's not on Duncan's level. Those are some nice stats man, but these are way better:

Two-time MVP (2002, 2003), four-time NBA champion (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007) and three-time NBA Finals MVP (1999, 2003, 2005), Rookie of the Year and elected into the All-NBA Rookie Team, made the first of 11 NBA All-Star Teams (1997–98 and 1999–2000 to 2008–09; ten First Team nominations), 12 All-NBA Teams (1997–98 to 2008–09; nine First Team nominations), and 12 All-Defensive Teams (1997–98 to 2008–09; eight First Team nominations).

Duncan is also one of only four players to receive All-NBA First Team honors in each of his first eight seasons (1998–2005), along with Hall of Famers Bob Pettit (ten seasons), Larry Bird (nine seasons), and Oscar Robertson (nine seasons), and is the only player in NBA history to receive All-NBA and All-Defensive honors in his first twelve seasons (1997–98 to 2008–09).

This is not a debate on who is better. It is a debate on who is overrated. I was one of the ones trying to say that TP can be better than Dirk. It just depends on how much TP can improve.

I think if TP makes the strides he made last year and leads the team to a title, he is a lot closer to Dirk than Dirk is to Duncan.

I am not saying that I agree that Duncan is overrated, but being better than a player does not mean you cannot be overrated.

Kobe is the best player in the game right now, but people compare him to Jordan, so he is overrated. Because although he is great, he is no where near the level people compare him to.

Just like the "clutch" label. He gets all the coaches/players saying Kobe this and that, but when you look at the stats, Kobe is not even close to the most "clutch" player statistically...

So you can be great and still be overrated imo.
I didn't mean Duncan is overrated but he is not underrated. I was simply implying that Duncan is better than Dirk since Ghazi seems to think Dirk is better. I actually believe Dirk is underrated. Dirk with a strong post player would be a sick front court.

I've always thought Manu Ginobili has always been underrated in the league. Maybe not with those who are comparing him to Kobe, DWade, and Lebron but overall. Mainly all I've heard from other fans around the league is that the only reason he's any good is he's playing behind Tim and Tony and that he's coming off the bench to play against the other teams scrubs so of course he's going to score well. If he's that easy to replace we surely should've beaten the Mavs without him and gotten further into the playoffs. I've heard them even say he's not good enough to be a starter. I guess people have forgotten that less than two years ago he was carrying our team and clutch as can be when both Tim and Tony were out injured and was named to All-NBA team. If it's anything Manu accepting this 6MOY position for good on this team has hurt him as far as being recognized for anything.

I agree with this. He is not on the level of Kobe but he is not a scrub. A lot of Spur fans were calling for him to be traded before the RJ trade. Not many realize you can't replace someone like him. He's a great all around player who gives his all even when he is having a bad game. He is the Spurs x-factor and its sad to see so many ridding him off as injury phrone and done. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he comes back with a solid year this year.

To me this is a case of underrated, I've also seen in the past insinuations that Josh Howard is the best player on the Mavs.

lul at the 2006 championship, how was the parade bro?

I also find it funny that u clown on Paul for supposedly letting his team lose to the Nuggets and how a superstar player doesnt let that happen...yet Dirk let his team choke a 2-0 lead and a 10+ point lead heading into the 4th quarter of Game 3 in the Finals? Than followed that up with a first round exit to an 8th seed, I dont know if a real MVP lets that happen. Dirk can play but he is neither underrated nor is he the best PF in the game.

A few weeks ago, I would have put Richard Jefferson on the underrated list - but now everyone will just say it's because he's on the Spurs. If John Salmons can turn in another season like this last one, he definitely belongs on the underrated list - same with Kelenna Azabuike.

How would you like a starting lineup of Arenas, Redd, McGrady, O'neal, and Bogut - for the low, low price of just $79 Million? Three little guys who would fight each other for the ball, and jack up shots constantly - and two big guys who wouldn't get the rebounds.

Like I said, Dirk is underrated by the FANS and even some talking heads. That he won an MVP isn't relevant.

On ESPN alone:
Dirk Nowitzki isn't a superstar -Stephen A Smith
Legler's insinuations that Dirk was the problem, in a Hornets series were Dirk played great.
Mashburn's insinuation that JET was the best Mavs players.

On these boards:
Manu/Parker > Dirk
Various 2nd tier players considered better than Dirk at various points: Melo, Boozer, Stoudamire, Nash, Pierce, etc
Dirk trade scenarios for Tyrus Thomas and Anthony Randolph
References to my man as a "vagina" or as a "choker" despite his incessant displays of mental/physical toughness and lifetime 25/10 playoff averages.



And then some...

Duncan can't be overrated. I think he has done enough to prove himself. Besides stats, he brings intangibles that you can't put a rating on, such as leadership.

Parker is underrated. He should be mentioned as being one of the top 3 point guards. He seems to be an after thought to most "sports" writers.

How do two games make Tony Parker better than Chris Paul? God, you are fucking stupid. Parker and Williams are not better than Chris Paul, and if you want to use a few games/series against a players entire career, then Dirk is overrated as well. Period.

Dude Ghazi's posts fucking insult my intelligence, as im sure they do for most of us here... I wudn't get worry too much about it, he DOES support the weakest choking ass team around!

I don't know, but maybe having Tim fucking Duncan, Manu Ginobili and the other Spurs players had something to do with it. Just a guess.
Doesn't change the fact that he has those awards and Chris Paul doesn't. You said what has Tony Parker done that Chris Paul hasn't and I answered your question.

BTW finals MVP isn't an award given based off what your teammates did ;)


He's only put up stats never before seen from a point guard in his few short years in the NBA. Once again yes he is amazing but doesn't change that he has not accomplished anything close to what to TP i.e. no chip or finals MVP award




Ya think? Chris Paul is not overrated at all, and anybody who claims that he is, is wrong.
I did I say so? I never said that TP9 is better but saying he hasn't done anything in his career compared to what CP3 has done is wrong. Career wise TP9 is better as he has accomplished more, talent wise CP3 is.

Your point? I guess Robert Horry is the one of the top five players of all time, since he has seven championships. Also, I didn't ask what Tony Parker did. I asked Ghazi how Parker is better than Paul.


Once again yes he is amazing but doesn't change that he has not accomplished anything close to what to TP i.e. no chip or finals MVP award

Being more accomplished =/= being better.



I did I say so? I never said that TP9 is better but saying he hasn't done anything in his career compared to what CP3 has done is wrong. Career wise TP9 is better as he has accomplished more, talent wise CP3 is.

He accomplished more because he had far better teammates, obviously, so your posts are pointless.

On a side note, he got Finals MVP playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers guards--nobody basically.

CP3 is not overrated.

He's a horrible defender though, so maybe his defense is.
