Most overrated player in the NBA?

I'm gonna go Melo. Seriously can someone please explain to me what you get outta Melo thatyou can't get from Monte Ellis andKevin Martin. He's a one dimensional player that doesn't play defense, isn't a leader,and has never gone far in the playoffs without agreat leader (Billiups)and good players around him(K-mart, Nene, Billiups, and astellar bench). Alsohe's not a player youcan build a championship winning team around and he gets treated like he'sa top 5 player. I really don't know why these pure scorers that don't play defense and aren't very goodat getting teammates involvedget so much love, yetwell rounded players likeKyle Lowry, Iggy, andGrant Hill never get the props they deserve.I'd take Pierce, Manu, or Iguodala over him honestly.

So let me know who you think is the most overrated player in the NBA.

EDIT: Also I should add that after he left Denver they went from being a subpar defensive team in terms of defensive efficiency to an elite team in terms of defensive effiecency.

Derrick Rose

Hmm, I don't really think any players get undeserved fame. Maybe some like Joe Johnson are overpaid, but I wouldn't say he is overrated. With Carmelo you get what you pay for; a top player in the NBA offensively. Your kidding yourself if you think he'll be your team leader and/or help you become a better defensive team.

When you ask this question your going to get a lot of opinion. Like the guy above me saying D-Rose, who had a fantastic season this year and is becoming a top tier PG in the NBA. I just don't see how you cansay, a guy that took a team on his back to the top place in the conference, is overrated. If people are calling him the next Jordan then yes you can say that. But he hasn't attracted that much undeserved fame.

Anyway, like I said. When this question is asked your probably going to get mainly opinions fueled through hate. I could say Rondo because I hate Boston, but I know I'm kidding myself. :lol:

I'm gonna go Melo. Seriously can someone please explain to me what you get outta Melo that you can't get from Monte Ellis and Kevin Martin. M_1_A_M_I

lebron-greatest ever? no rings :P

I thought Chris Bosh got a little too much attention. He is good but not a top ten talent that the media tried to make him seem. He still has room to grow, but I don't think he is going to get to Garnett's prime level. There are plenty of vastly overpaid players though.Lostboy1224

The best player in the NBA?munchlax99

the best what in the nba? no, I can't give it to someone who's in his prime and can't finish games. there's a picture I posted up of Lebron that read "If basketball was 3 quarters, I'd be the best player in the nba"

:lol:

Who is the best player in the NBA then?

Personally, I think if it's not Lebron, it is between Rose and Durant. Kobe is out of his prime, unless he proves us wrong next season.Honestly, though, in terms of all around efficiency and ability, it's Lebron. But right now, nobody in the NBA has the killer instinct, spirit, nor drive to win games that come even close to what MJ and Kobe had in their respective careers.

[QUOTE="M_1_A_M_I"] No lol. I realize Melo is much more talented than those two and has a much more versatile offensive arsenal. But still Monte and Martin can score nearly as good as Melo and they're not regarded as elite players. Monte is extremely quick and athletic and Martin is one of the best in the NBA at drawing fouls and hitting the three ball.No_Hablo_Ingles
