Honorable Mention - That POS David Stern.
Doesn't the overrated list contain that 7'6 piece of ****? personally I think that guy is the most overrated player ever.
Sons I can't believe he no one mentioned him.
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.
Eh, I don't think Pierce belongs there. He's rated about right, in the 2nd tier of stars right below the superduperstars.
I don't think West is too highly overrated, at least not to the point where I'd put him first. And is anyone rating Arenas highly right now?
I'll have to think about this for a moment before I put up my list...
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.

Ghazi, where are you? Judging from your requirements, Dirk should be overrated not underrated.

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. He's a TOP 10 player maybe, but thats it.
Here's my list:
Underrated
PG-Harris
SG-Roy
SF-Granger

Yes, Tim Duncan is underrated. He is one of the three greatest basketball players of all time and he doesn't get enough props. People forget about Tim Duncan. He is great, but people only talk about him like he is only good not great.
Dirk gets a free pass for the Finals because it was 8 on 5 instead of actual basketball, and everyone objective knows it
GS series was just an anomaly and besides, GS wasn't "actually" an 8th seed. It was more or less like losing to a 6th seed, something which Tim Duncan has done as well

Underrated:
PG - Jose Calderon
SG - Manu
SF - Danny Granger (the most underrated player in the league, in my opinion)
PF - Scola
C - Nene
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.
Overrated - how about based on salary?
PG - Gilbert Arenas ($16M)
SG - Michael Redd ($17M)
SF - Tracy McGrady ($23M)
PF - Jermaine O'neal (23M)
C - Eric Dampier/Andrew Bogut ($10M ea)
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.
IU find it funny that people on here put bynum as overrated overpaid to this point MOST definitely ...but what he is a young big man with promise no one has proclaimed him the next Kareem EXCEPT over-anxious Laker fans. Overrated by knowledgable folks doubt that ...
Melo is better than Dirk
This is stupid.
Once people start to say a player is underrated, that player ceases to be underrated.

My list ...Overrated
PG Mo williams (great streak shooter but not an all-star)
SG Wade (great player but hype after FINALS and last year was overboard he is not yet on Kobe's level getting there though)
SF Pierce (Great FINALS had many including himself overrate him top 15 in NBA most def and clutch... but not top 5 or 10)
PF DWest (undersized skillbut not an All-star_
C Oden (thought comparisons to David and Ewing were overboard even BEFORE he got hurt)
No he isn't Statistically unjustifiable, unjustifiable if we weigh accolades, Melo is just not that good. It's purely hype based.
Melo is not better than Dirk.
