overrated- Lebron he is a really good dunker, but at best an average shooter.
Paul Pierce (now not early in his career)

Underated- Darren Collison, Eric Gordon,

Overrated: Stat, Joe Johnson, John Wall(even after the #1 pick hype)
Underrated: Al Horford, Eric Gordon

Overrated: Joe Johnson, Rondo, & I have to say this...Dwight Howard. And that one kind of pisses me off. Howard could be unstoppable if he just tried to stop jumping over people and actually learned maybe ONE go-to post move. It's just ridiculous that a player with his size & physical skills can disappear for vast stretches of games on the offensive end.

Underrated: Kevin Love, Eric Gordon, Andrew Bogut

Kevin Love is a good one, superior rebounder...and can shoot threes!

But guys, I have to be honest...this Lebron is overrated stuff is b.s.

Now if you are disappointed in his leadership qualities, that is one thing, but skill wise on the court? Lebron is the best player in basketball...nothing overrated about him...nothing at all...

sigh...what's with the BG hate. a 20 ppg scorer who's clutch, that's a good player.

and you people who say that he's a TO machine, LeBron averages almost double as many TOs as BG. Players who shoot a lot turn over the ball. Do you want the ball out of LeBron's hands? of course not. high usage translates to high stats.

overrated: RAJON RONDO-i think i could be a decent pg next to two hall of famers. he's obviously no all star.

I was one who never "hated" BG...I liked him as the 6th man off the bench. I thought that was what he excelled it. But he wanted more, and I understand that too. He got what he wanted in money from Detroit and well he should be set for life if he lives within his means and not like Antoine Walker.

I'm sure this is true on any forum...but on PSD the BG vs Hinrich wars..just looking back on it was one of the most ridiculous things ever. Simply put, the guy could put up 20 ppg on any given night. Could also shoot 7% on any given night and was not a good defender. While you could use stats against me to prove that BG was just as good as a starter as off the bench...I just think his offensive explosiveness is best used in a 6th man role.

Haha Fred would say Hinrich is overrated and BG is underrated. I'll say that Hinrich is underrated by Fred and BG is overrated by Fred...and a lot of other people as well. He's good, but not a great player (great shooter, yes).

Overrated: Bosh, Joe Johnson
Underrated: Kevin Love (what the heck? He can hit 3's?)
