Who was the most overrated player in NBA History

[The Derski]

He's universally mocked and I doubt anyone's calling him a HOFer. Hardly overrated.

I am.

 

[The Derski]

I am.

Calling him overrated that is.

Perhaps - but it was no reason to trade him for freaking Mitch Richmond & Otis Thorpe. Webber went on to do very well with the Kings. Wes Unseld has to be the worst GM in the history of sports!

In fairness, Webber was traded for off the court issues.

I was stationed at Fort Meade, MD at the time.

So, I remember this clearly.

He and Juwan were accused of r*pe.

They had a falling out shortly after and the Wiz chose the healthy guy over the more talented, oft-injured one.

I cringe seeing Christie in that picture. Biggest wuss ever. Fool's wife controlled his every move & she is no prize.

Dude, the fight in the tunnel with Rick Fox when that bitch hit Rick with her Purse?

That's when I knew he was dickless....lol

Bill Russell IS the most overrated player ever, but I think Scottie Pippen is another guy up there.

Russell has such a high defensive PER rating it almost laps the guy in second place.
No player or coach who watched, played or coached for or against Russell would call him overrated.
The Celtics failed to win The NBA championship 2 times in Russell's 13 seasons, he was injured both years.
He also won titles in both his jr and sr seasons at The University Of San Francisco, the only titles in their history.
So he won 13 titles total, every year he was relatively healthy over a 15 season period.
Not that he didn't win injured either, he was hobbled when he brought The Celtics back to beat L.A. late in his career.

I was at that preseason game. I didn't know what happened in the tunnel until I got home and seen it on sportscenter.

Why are people putting guys like Webber, Penny, and Rose? Those guys were not overrated, injuries just slowed them down.

 

[Billythekid]

Yep.

Intelligent Middle-class kid with a great family who always tried to pretend he came from the poverty in the hood.

Of course, I had Warriors, Bullets and Michigan jerseys with 2's or 4's on em though. But I realized before it was too late. And payed good money to boo him as a Piston.

He's the opposite of a winner.

He also took money from a booster, lied about it then later lied to the feds in court.

 

[OregonDucks]

In recent years it HAS to be Dwight Howard. Yes he took Orlando to the finals one year, but that was the Eastern Conference when the conference had absolutely zero teams.

Ed Martin...

Wasn't Howard the highest paid player in league history at the time?

Believe he will the first MVP not to be inducted.

 

[Rex Racer]

Every Celtics player ever.

Bill Russell IS the most overrated player ever, but I think Scottie Pippen is another guy up there.

 

[Rex Racer]

Moses Malone has to be up near the top of the list.

 

[GNG]

This guy...

 

[ChrisWebber]

Love the votes for Weber. He was soft gangsta wanna-be

Yep.

Intelligent Middle-class kid with a great family who always tried to pretend he came from the poverty in the hood.
