The Spurs must be one of the deepest, best teams of all time if they can lose their "best player" for 10 games and during that stretch go 7-3.
I say that because of spurs fans. There are quite a few out there that would rather have him than Bryant..
I'm sorry, call me bias but I will not allow my homerism to blind me.

George Hill.
Anything else?
Of course among Spurs fans Manu is overrated, I put Manu on the list because when healthy he's one of the most efficient SG's in basketball, and his defense is VERY underrated.

What's your point?
The ? Are you serious? Who do you think ran the offense, Jacque Vaughn???
A new category. Underrated by most fans, but overrated in terms of salary received:
Troy Murphy
Kirilenko
Dalembert
Okafor
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.
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 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.
BTW Dirk has an MVP award. No way he can be underrated.
Most of these lists are stupid. Jamstone and DOK are about the only people who has put any thought into his list with good reason to back them up, and not a bunch of emotion tied into their picks, unlike most people here. Although DOK is hating on Parker a little.
UNDERRATED
PG- Deron Williams
SG- Ben Gordon
SF- Danny Granger
PF- AL Jefferson
C- Biedrins
OVERRATED
PG- Chris Paul
SG- Joe Johnson
SF- Paul Pierce
PF- Kevin Garnett
C- Andrew Bynum
Rated properly by coaches/players
but not by fans.
Of course, most fans are stupid, so its understandable why the best PF in the world can be underrated despite his smorgas bord of accolades.
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
Overrated:
PG- Jameer Nelson
SG- Vince Carter
SF- Kirilenko
PF- Boozer
C- Duncan
Underrated:
PG- Rondo (bball is played on 2 ends and his defense is great)
SG- Wade (should have been MVP)
SF- Pierce (played Kobe and Lebron to a standstill allowing his team to outplay theirs to a championship)
PF- Dirk (bashing him became the cool thing to do, best PF in the league)
Millsap is another very underrated pf
C- Okafor
We both agree Deron Williams is the most underrated one out of all and Andrew Bynum the next so coming of Wilt is the most overrated one.
I'm surprised with some Spurs fans in here. I mean you more than any other fans in the league should know that scoring the most points doesn't make you the better player. Let's have a pick up game, I choose Duncan you choose Parker and let's see how the game goes.
I agree that he is overrated by some Spurs fans but he's underrated by 99% of the NBA fans.
Underrated:
Joe Johnson.
Very underrated btw...
Hate thread.
That's pretty re ed. 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 , due to the huge size difference.
And
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.
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)
Every player gets overrated by their fans.
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.
