Metta World Peace was one of the biggest underachievers in NBA history imho. Besides his well vaunted defensive ability, dude's scoring talent was just as amazing. It's realistic to expect a superstar & HOF career from him but for the Auburn brawl imho.

This really shocks me, but it must be true. The difference between his interior skill and his shooting stroke is vast, and yet he (somehow) seems to have no clue that that's the case.

But yeah, he's fairly overrated imo

True, but come on, we all know the MVP race has only 2 lanes anyway, any fringe mentions at this point be it # 3 or # 6 is pointless. Noah moving up in the conversation just shows you how weak the league is. This league is so pathetic we're forced to put guys like Lowry, Curry, Derozan and Noah in Top 10 conversation :lol. Your usual players in the game are spending a lot of time in street clothes, are playing in awful teams (Melo, Deron) or they're just flat out old (Dirk, KG, Kobe).



Anyway, given the circumstances, I think Noah is rated right. The Bulls are hanging on that 4th, with a good chance to finish 3rd in the East and eclipse the 50 win mark, which is mighty impressive in that conference, all that without Rose and Deng.



Removing Noah from the Bulls as they are currently assembled would send them directly to the lottery. Let’s be frank, the Bulls are a bad team on paper. DJ Agustin, Carlos Boozer, Jimmy Butler and Mike Dunleavy are his teammates. :lol



I do like the fact that the media are now taking notes and rewarding players with effort and hustle over your typical shady numbers.

My money is on Kyrie Irving. I don't consider him a super star. How many top 10 draft picks does this guy need to succeed? They have Waiters, Thompson, and Bennett(all top 10 picks) and Irving still cant get them into the playoffs. He falling into the category of 'Melo and KLove. Guys who can put up some stats but cant take a team anywhere as the main guy. At least Noah can lead his team into the playoffs.

Noah being overrated is absolutely hilarious. The dude is the hardest worker on the court and puts it all out there every time, somehow keeping the bulls relevant despite rose pretty much soaking up a max contract for no reason.

Rubio gets my vote, the guy is embarrassing offensively and his passing doesn't even come close to making up for it.

All of the guys above can win you games by themselves. Noah can't do that. That's what keeps him from going from super roleplayer -> star.

If he's your third option on your team though, you're pretty solid since he does so many things well. I know you're not comparing the two, but he's better than Chandler was in 2011 imo.

noah's been doing this for a while, he's just finally getting the credit he deserves. look at their roster, then look at his numbers, then look at their team record. He's doing something very right to be dragging them to the playoffs (yes its the east but their roster is god awful).

He's been doing very well for a while. In fact I wanted him on the spurs a few years ago when his stock was low because he had a label of being a problematic teammate. He just wanted to win back then and the bulls stunk.

Issue is, he's getting all the credit he should have on the past this yer which ales him overrated. The east is horrendous after the heat and pacers. Just look at the raptors, I'm not going to put Lowry as some MVP candidate even he dragged his team to a 3 rd seed with a retarded coach. Noah's at 4th with a brilliant coach.

Mike ds system requires a good point guard, but he requires finishers with speed and range of which amare had both. Even earl Clark did well in his system.

Him being anywhere remotely in MVP talk in his first year speaks to why I thought he was overrated. The guy can't play d, has very questionable iq, and is best used as a finisher, not a creator. An MVP should create.

The correct answer is Gilbert Arenas, and not just because of that $100+ million contract. Before that contract and before his career went down the toilet, a lot of people, analysts, fellow players, fans, media were all over his nuts when he was averaging close to 30 ppg a couple seasons in a row from the PG position and hanging 60 points on the Lakers. I think a lot of people thought he was legit and was going to be playing like that for several more seasons.

And for whoever mentioned Vince Carter, not that I disagree that he's overrated. But be prepared. Whether you like it or not, agree with it or not, Vince Carter is going to end up being in the Hall of Fame. His career stats and compared to players already in the HOF, Vince is going to get there. I'm just giving you forewarning.

Gasol couldn't win a playoff game because he went up against San Antonio Spurs. While Kobe went up against Phoenix Suns.

Put Gasol on the Lakers and Kobe on Memphis and Lakers would beat Phoenix while Kobe would get swept by the Spurs.

Plus MVPau had Mike Miller, Shane Battier, and old-ass Eddie Jones as his BEST teammates.... meanwhile, Kirby had prime Lamar and Tuff Juice and still whined and cried while shinin' shoes....

Gasol's supporting cast was a pretty stacked one back in the mid 00s imho, which included Shane Battier, Mike Miller, White Chocolate, Bonzi Wells, James Posey and many other solid role players. If you had played nba live 05 you would've noticed the Grizzlies' overall rating was even higher than Dallas and Spurs back then, tbh.

2 out of 3 playoff years, their offense was ranked 23rd and 29th. And that's with Pau carrying them.

Every All-star in the league not named: Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, KG, Dirk, Lebron, Wade, Pierce.
The magnificent 7 won all the titles the past 10 years and some needed help from another of the 7 to get theirs ... except Timmy.
Superstar is thrown around far to loosely. Plenty of stars in the NBA ...

Willing to accept arguments for Durant as a pending member ...

Agreed. The are very few superstars, plus Dirk of course, you named, and many overrated stars who get empty numbers, and never influence actual winning....

None could score. It's like calling the late 90s Cavs a strong team.

Fair point but since he is MVPau and he had a elite defense shouldn't they win ONE playoff game?

Also if scoring was the issue wouldnt a top 5 all-time scorer (for the switch the two argument) be more useful?

I admire Pau so don't want to knock him here, just asking ...

didnt joe johnson robbed the hawks of a max contract, then got another big ass extention on top of it from nets?

clown was overrated when he was a suns player, did jackshit with the hawks

he puts up nice numbers, but those numbers that equate to anything, this clown always get outplayed by the other top SGS at his position every h2h match

It's easy to stop a one-man offensive team, especially when that team's only offense is a big man with no perimeter offense.

Lakers did that to Duncan in 02 (reverse sweep), Robinson had it throughout his entire prime, and we know that, as great as MVPau was, he wasn't Duncan or Robinson.

Reverse is always true.

You always seem to think it's some kind of indication, but it's like saying Kobe never won squat without Fisher.

i just remember for years the kings (who had all sorts of young guys rotting on the bench needing development) were giving Salmons 25 mpg doing absolutely nothing. always frustrated me for some reason
