He was always overrated, which is why guys like me didn't want him in Dallas unless he came with Dwight as the 3rd cog of a super team. Said it all summer that he wasn't worth the max.
He seemingly can no longer score consistently or shoot very well. In Utah, he was always up around the 45-47% FG range, and when he was traded it just nose-dived into the 35-40% range. At first it might be argued that he had no real talent around him at NJ and was forced to do too much, take bad shots, but now he has a lot of talent and it's the same deal.
He's shooting awful from the field, from 3-point land and just all around struggling, is this a case of him always being overrated or just a slump?

I think one of his wheels is bad. I read somewhere that he will have surgery in the offseason.
EDIT: here it is. Once he is healthy again he'll return to his usual self.
Overrated, not a leader, never in shape, only shows up when facing CP3...
You sound bitter because he spurned Dallas.
He seemingly always beats CP3's teams though.
When Deron is healthy he's definitely not overrated.
To be fair, he usually had better teams in Utah than CP3 had in NOLA, and as a Clipper, CP3's only played against DWill when the Clippers have been in a slump in general.... that being said, I really do think it's the one matchup that DWill plays at his best for...
Not really whenever I was saying this back when he was thinking about coming to Dallas, the whole time I was saying please no.
Well he was pretty healthy last year and from what I know of the ankle injury is that even though he is going to have surgery that it should not really inhibit him.
He looks like he has no confidence and he also just takes more three's now and they aren't good looks. Not to mention, I think he is much too casual but it's hard to tell if he's just overrated or off.

tbh, I think he let the Turkish jersey retirement get to his head...
For years, people thought he was better than CP3, which he clearly isn't, but he's been getting paid off that overrated rep for years.... before you point to the head-to-head results, doesn't Melo usually own LeBron head to head? Doesn't make him a better player than LeBron though....
Sounds like excuses to me. You guys held 2005-2008 Lakers against Kobe despite knowing he had a ty supporting cast. Double standard much?
Tbh, those ty teams were partially Kobe's fault for forcing out Shaq and Phil after '04 and being a constant distraction....
you gotta ask? Foo just collecting cash, he dun care bout rings. He play hard when he wanna play hard
He is just so happy to play alongside JJ...
38%the best player i have ever played with
Fat point guards peak early in their careers. Real talk.
Overrated coach killer
remember dat time when peope was saying he was better than CP3 ?
BTW CP3 is playin' fine but and maybe it's an impression but NO CP3 was better than LAC CP3 tbh
Bone spurs
Nope, not buying it. They had been arguing for years. Shaq's big gut and his big mouth is the reason he was no longer in LA after that 2004 Finals. Anytime you dunk on someone (expected) in a meaningless preseason game, then tell your owner to "pay me!!..." - you can expect to be traded. If Shaq was still the 1999, MVP, 30/12/3 Shaq of old, he would have still been there. Dr. Buss traded his ass just in time too because since then it's Kobe: 2, Shaq:1*.Thems be the facts son. Neal with it.
The late Dennis Johnson says hi.
Except Kobe finally forced the Lakers' hand by threatening to sign with the Clippers if they didn't trade Shaq...
Raymond Felton doesn't agree with that.
As I've been saying for years, he's one of the most overrated players in the NBA, in addition to being a coach killing diva..he's atrocious on defense and lacks leadership skills..
