Charles Rosen's Most Overrated List...

[NickiRasgo]

Damn! This is the worst list I ever seen. Rating a player in just a one game? Like Kevin Garnett performance in Boston's six-point loss in Game 3, Garnett shot 6-for-21. I'll remember when Kobe hits 9 out of 26 shots against Indiana Pacers last 2000 NBA Finals.

[ElNono]

It's Rosen... what do you expect?
I'm actually surprised he didn't include David Robinson on the list, considering he rarely misses an occasion to rag on the Admiral.

[ambchang]

No surprises that there isn't one single Laker player on that list, Rosen being the Phil Jackson homer once again.

And to throw Garnett (the team who totally embarrassed the Lakers), and Paul (the MVP challenger to Kobe in 2008) out there like that was way too obvious.

[Supergirl]

yah i agree, bynum should be on top of the list.

+1

You got no right talking about "embarrassed"...not after the Mavs, a few month ago gave you a 4-1 ass pounding you'll not soon ferget, daddy-O.

Uh, uh.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

joe johnson who should be on that list, this guy wanted the money, wanted to be a franchise player...hasnt led the hawks to anything

wtf?

[Findog]

lol dirk should not be on that list.

+ 1,000,000

[Findog]

I'm not a Hornets fan, but this seems crazy to me. Paul increased the win total of his team dramatically, moreso than other stars who are not on this list.

The argument that he can be doubled is negated by the earlier statement that he is truly a great passer.

And diminutive guards that have led teams to championships? Bob Cousy, Nate Archibald, Tony Parker...

I agree with everything except this. Tony Parker has never been the best player on a team that won a le.

Lol.

Kevin Garnett

His performance in the 2008 NBA Finals against the Lakers was a good indication of where he's really at.

# In Boston's six-point loss in Game 3, Garnett shot 6-for-21.

# In Boston's five-point loss in Game 5, Garnett scored only 13 points and missed several shots in the fourth quarter.

# In Boston's championship-clinching, 39-point win in Game 6, Garnett registered his series high of 26 points.

In other words, it is well-known among the league's coaches that Garnett is a frontrunner who will inevitably choke when a critical game is up for grabs.

[in2deep]

add bynum and amare and its a pretty good list

[TFloss32]

I agree with everything except this. Tony Parker has never been the best player on a team that won a le.

That's debatable for the '07 championship. Duncan and Parker's scoring averages were neck and neck and it was a time where it was evident that the Spurs were becoming Tony's team. Both Tim and Tony had a solid series against the Cavs, but Tony is the reason the Spurs took it 4-0 (hence the Finals MVP).

And if this list has anything to do with the intangibles that it takes to win, then Vince Carter is the most overrated player ever.

[Thunder Dan]

yeah, Lebron didn't make the list so all you haters are wrong when you call him Lehype and all that bull .

[rjv]

lol at dallas having two of the honorable mention players in dirk and marion.

[lil_penny]

Charlie rosen is such a

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Dirk is not overrated. I'll always respect him after last season leading that group of scrubs and that horrible coaching staff to 50+ wins. And how exactly has he led his team nowhere? Yeah, maybe he didn't have the best finals series in the world.....neither did Josh Howard, Devin Harris, or really anyone besides Jason Terry. Against Golden State, he was double and triple teamed, yeah Michael Jordan was able to beat double and triple teams, but no one ever said Dirk was Michael Jordan. If Dirk was the only guy on his team who choked, then yeah he's overrated. When the 2nd leading scorer on the team is a way bigger choker, it's a different story.

It's funny that I used to make fun of Dirk a lot and get in some really nasty arguments with Dirk4mvp and Monos (like when they created the nickname ponytail ), then BenJarvusOt oTron showed up and I allied with all the Mavs fans because that guy was such a bag.

[TFloss32]

yeah, Lebron didn't make the list so all you haters are wrong when you call him Lehype and all that bull .

Yeah! You tell 'em Thunder Dan. LeBron isn't overrated...dude is closest thing to a human triple-double that the NBA has. Your team, the Cleveland Cavaliers are overrated (which was very evident in the '09 ECF). Even more so now that you have the Big Diesel...Aristotle...Cactus...what is he now?

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Is there some way that Charlie Rosen can be pinked?

[Ditty]

dirk is overated all he can do is shoot

cant play defense or lead a team

hes a good player but was never a franchise player

[Phillip]

charley rosen is overrated

I agree about VC. He's a joke. But the main reason Parker was free to go wild on the Cavs is because of the defensive attention paid to Duncan. I still think Duncan is your best player, but as of now it's more like Duncan is 1A and Parker is 1B. In 2007 I think the pecking order was firmly established as Duncan:Batman and Parker: Robin.

dirk is overated all he can do is shoot

And send the Spurs fishing

[himat]

Its an okay list, but Im glad some writer finally called out KG. Paul Pierce is easily the best player on that team. Screw KG.

Well, since the stats are pretty much even, I guess it's individual perspective. Lots of defensive attention is always paid to Duncan, but the Cavs had absolutely nobody who could defend Parker (but then again, who does?) I think Parker is the best we've got now, mainly because of his youth and vastly improved jumper. Our offense was clearly stagnant when Tony was out of the game last year. If the Spurs win it all in 2010, Tony will be 1A and you'll be able to rescind your comment about Tony and championships.

And send the Spurs fishing

And lose to 8th seeded teams...Had to FinDog.
