Who are the NBA's most overrated players? by Charley Rosen Updated: July 28, 2009, 10:32 AM EDT Don't be fooled by stats, fan-voted All-Star Game appearances, highlighted plays and/or media hype. While every combatant in the NBA is a truly great player, too many of them are gauged by misleading standards. Here are the most grossly over-valued, not-so superstars. Chris Andersen Gilbert Arenas Carlos Boozer He can score from the low post, hit mid-range jumpers and is — at best — a two-space rebounder. On the downside, Boozer either can't or won't play defense, is an erratic passer and handler, can't run, can't move laterally and just doesn't play as vigorously without the ball as he does when the rock is in his hands. Smart teams have an easy time neutralizing Boozer's effectiveness. Chris Bosh Marcus Camby Kevin Garnett Al Harrington Stephen Jackson Brad Miller Chris Paul There's no doubt that CP3 has always been a truly great passer and has also worked diligently to become a dangerous 3-point shooter. But there are several reasons why he belongs in this dubious category. §In half-court offenses, he's a threat to do damage only in screen-and-roll situations, which means that doubling him virtually renders him impotent. §Because of his diminutive size — listed at 6-feet but closer to 5-foot-10 — he can be easily doubled. §His defense consists of steals. Period. Which in turn depends mostly on opponents' mistakes. §Many opponents simply take the ball to their favorite spot and then shoot over him. §Even when using a screen-and-roll, he's not nearly as effective going left as he is going right. When was the last time that a pipsqueak-sized point guard led his team to an NBA championship? Slater Martin with the St. Louis Hawks in 1958 — which means that while Paul's Hornets will be a good team, they'll never be good enough. Dishonorable mention The following multi-talented players have led their respective teams nowhere for so many years that their being overrated is no longer news. Stephon Marbury, who only last week still insisted that he's the best point guard in the NBA. Dirk Nowitzki. Baron Davis. Peja Stojakovic. Amare Stoudemire. Vince Carter. Larry Hughes. Corey Maggette. Shawn Marion. Kenyon Martin. Tracy McGrady. Jermaine O'Neal. Wally Szczerbiak. And last and least, Allen Iverson. http://tinyurl.com/nypdpu -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.115.189.23
