Who is the most overrated player in the NBA?

[Findog]

Or name your top 5-10.

10. Richard Jefferson/Andre Igoudala/Anyone-more-athlete-than-basketball-player
9. Paul Pierce
8. Carmelo Anthony
7. Josh Smith
6. Andrew Bynum
5. Russel Westbrook
4. Jason Kidd
3. Amare Stoudemire
2. Deron Williams
1. Chris Bosh

Im sure plenty of peeps will say "Lebron" or "Kobe" which is just ridiculous but feel free to state your opinions.

Seems like Kidd is properly rated to me. He's not viewed as the same player he was in 2002. He was garbage for a good part of the regular season last year and turned it up in the playoffs...and this year his owner has made it clear that it is more important to clear cap space than defend his team's le. This is Kidd's victory lap.

really guys..josh smith is Overrated? I thought he's doing pretty good for the little people know about him.

Not sure Smith is rated that high to begin with.

He definitely ranks up there in terms of wasting talent

[Magua]

Definitely Derrick Rose. He's a poor man's Allen Iverson

[NewcastleKEG]

Definitely Derrick Rose. He's a poor man's Allen Iverson

Link to Iverson averaging 8 assists per game

Paul vs Rose
PPG: Rose
APG: Rose
RPG: Rose

Take all inefficient, high usage scorers who don't do other things well for their position.(So, people who are average/below average rebounders, defenders etc), as well as former all stars who are still working based on reputation, even though aging has diminished their ability.

Kobe
Garnett
Pierce
Rip Hamilton
Deron Williams
Monta Ellis
Luis Scola
Michael Beasley
OJ Mayo
Glen Davis
Carmelo
Amare
Brook Lopez
Eric Gordon(The people thinking he was too much to Give up for Chris paul)
Jamal crawford
Andrea Bargnani
Most of the Sacramento and Washington Rosters(People know the teams are , but see the players and think that they're talented.)

Link to Iverson averaging 8 assists per game

Paul vs Rose
PPG: Rose
APG: Rose
RPG: Rose

To be fair, Iverson averaged 7.9 assists a game for an entire season. This is the first season Rose is averaging over 8 assists a game, but he's only played 13 games so far.

Paul vs Rose
FG%: Paul
3PT%: Paul
Assist-to-turnover ratio: Paul
Steals: Paul
PER: Paul

I think Rose v. Paul is a good and interesting argument. But I'm not convinced either side of the argument is an indisputable and irrefutable slam dunk.

Malik Rose?

[DMC]

Amare, without a doubt.

[Giuseppe]

Amare, without a doubt.

Good thing for you DoK finally found a job.

[FkLA]

Boozer
Bosh
Love
Dirk
Lee
Amare
Scola
ZBo
etc

Have always felt this type of bigman is overrated tbh. Solid players offensively (some more than others)...but complete non-factors defensively.

[DMC]

Good thing for you DoK finally found a job.

He was great for Phoenix, but in the system he's now in, he's basically useless.

[eisfeld]

Deron Williams, Amare Stoudemire, Andre Igoudala, DeMar DeRozan, Kevin Love, Russel Westbrook, Al Jefferson, monta Ellis - no particular order

[Giuseppe]

He was great for Phoenix, but in the system he's now in, he's basically useless.

Amare is the poster boy for symbolism over substance.

[Mal]

I`d go with Amare and Boozer. I dont have time too watch many NBA games, but this two guys are the most overpaid and overrated.
