I agree with melo and Yao being over rated...but not Tmac and VC, bad at udes, but they are talented
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sport...orts-headlinesIn its latest issue, Sports Illustrated surveyed 227 NBA players and asked, "Who is the most overrated player?" Me-Mac (McGrady) placed fourth in the survey, behind Vince Carter (first place), Carmelo Anthony and Yao Ming.

Yao should have been the runaway winner.
Shut up Sequ. Carter sucks. I don't see him playing basketball anymore, do you?
'Nuff said.
Neither is Lebron, KG, Kobe, AI, Paul Peirce.... you mean to tell me bc they are not playing anymore they are not talented
gospursgojas = Sequspur ?
No... I was wondering what Sequ meant, didnt know it was another username that someone mistook me for.
gospursgojas = Jason, 21
P.S
I have also been mistaken for a girl in this fourm...but I dont know who Sequspur is...so I dont know which is worse
I think you were mistaken for Sequspur by AHF because you and Sequ have the same avatar and he loves Vince Carter.
Ohhh ....now I get it.....

Ouch!!The fact that the Big Isleworth has won only one MVP in his 13 years is the biggest NBA travesty since Doug Christie's wife
I'd probably have to say Yao.
As a rockets fan i agree T-macs overrated way more then i do Ming.
This will be Yao's first summer off in 3 years.
Finally he gets the chance to work with houston coaches in the off season and improve his game. He is the real deal and as he improves so do our le chances.
Give him 2 years and i think he'll be top 5
yao ming is not overrated, the media and everyone is expecting too much from him just cose of his frame his not goin to live upto the expectations
Both Ray and Rasshard, with rashard being the top one, made the top five underated list.
It's gotta be Antoine Walker, which is hard because everyone thinks he sucks... and yet he is STILL overrated.
Amare would have to be up there too.
hahahaha OMG the horror (gates picture)
Yao f-ing sucks and I've been saying that since day one. Screw him. He sucks. Nice, friendly eight footer who "miraculously" can drop a round ball into a hoop occasionally, but he has nor never will have any sack whatsoever to warrant being an all star.
Kenyon Martin and Steve Francis would take it for me, along with Starbury
I think that's the very definition of overrated when you're talking professional sports.when he gives it his all...and the key word is "when".
Everybody wants to talk about Vince Carter's talent and potential, but the results speak for themselves.
If you're talking dunk contest, you want Vince out there. If you want to win anything in this league, you want Vince on the other team. Overrated.
@ myself from last night, Kori hit it though.
Yao was overrated badly his first couple of years, but now that we've seen his act for a while there's no hype for him to be the next Shaq coming from ESPN. McGrady's my pick. He hits one shot and all of a sudden he's the best guard in the league? Iverson is the most underrated player in the game IMO.
Why do people think McGrady is over-rated, exactly?
He makes tough shots, has proven to be clutch on a few occasions, and averages around 20+ points, as was expected by the media and fans. Yes, his team didn't make it out of the first round, but they did have a tough draw in Dallas and also they had some injuries to deal with. IMO he's lived up to all the hype that was accolated to him. Yao on the other hand, has not had as much success doing this. For his size and potential, he is still not able to dominate games as he should. It should have been easier for him to do so this year with McGrady on the perimeter.
I don't get the hate on Yao. He was never going to live up to the incredible hype he was given by the NBA's marketing machine, basically the face of the world in the NBA was put on him before he even played a game, thanks to him being from the largest country in the world, and one that Stern was eager to cash in on.
I agree with you, AHF! Too much was expected from a kid who, in the scheme of things, is a physical anomally.
If Yao were a Watusi, his enormous height would make him probably taller than his parents, but not by a couple of feet. The average height for a Watusi female is 6' and for a male, 6'6". If you compare this to the average height of male and female Chinese, it's obvious that Yao is not your average Chinese kid.
Incredible height in a population of average height descendants signals an anomally, usually with physical limitations that manifest themselves increasingly over the years. The fact that Yao seems to lack stamina is a key point.
Yao is a sweet kid who may well be working in the NBA against some physical problems we're unaware of.
Any comments on this anthropological viewpoint?
I agree. That kid has a huge heart and humility to him, and it's not his fault the media hyped him too much.
However, that doesn't take away from the fact that he's overrated, period.
It being his fault or not isn't the issue here.
