Overrated Nba/pba Players

[Malisyoso1980]

Si Marlou Aquino..............teka overrated pala....akala ko overage

[thegame08]

Gabe Norwood - Kung talagang draft prospect siya sa NBA andoon na dapat siya instead of playing sa PBA.

 

Jared Dillinger - Noong una akala ko talaga magaling, puro tirang alahoy lang at kangkarot maglaro ito.

[wuts]

Rich Alvarez (NBA counterpart si Greg Oden. Nung college lang magaling).

- wag idahilan ang playing time. Bakit naman si JC Intal, ang tagal naghintay bago maging STAR kuno sa Ginebra.

 

Gabe Norwood

- It's expected na makapagdunk and doing fastbreak like a PG since may experience playing sa states. Other than, nothing but ordinary.

The Miami cHeat big 3 are overrated. Just look how stupid ESPN is. Crowning them even before the season started.

Not only that, they were already predicting a 70+ win season for the Heats. Looks like thats far from happening already. They can win against sub-par teams because they are a good team (there is no doubt about that). But they are not yet in par with the elite teams. And they haven't even played the Lakers yet.

 

Also Lebron James is a very good player but he is an overrated play maker. Comparing his play making skills to that of Magic Johnson is an insult to Magic. Magic makes his team mates better. LBJ doesn't. LBJ always complained that he didn't get support in Cleveland. But in reality, Cleveland had good players. He just relegates his teammates to watching him "make" the play instead of orchestrating a good play. Part of the orchestrating is telling players where to go, knowing when to pass and making it easier for your teammates to make their shot.

 

Lebron is a legitimate scorer (a very elite one at that), but overrated as a play maker.

He stands 6'6 so kaya talaga n'yang mag-dunk other than that he still needs a lot of improving esp. sa outside shooting n'ya na inconsistent....

Hands down PAUL PIERCE of Boston is the most over rated player of all time.

haha. patawa ka naman.. eh isa nga sa mga underrated players si paul pierce. and how can you say overrated ung mama eh siya ung leader ng one of the top teams sa league.

[Eastpak]

I AGREE..SI GABE NORWOOD OVERRATED

[Nathan M. York]

I really don't know Sir if you know the meaning of overrated and underrated, and if you are a true basketball fanatic.

At any rate, here is why Paul Pierce is an OVERRATED basketball player:

 

Firstly, when we say overrated, we mean that most of us think highly of the player, or that he is elevated in a status that he does not deserve. You Mr Buwitre actually contradicted yourself when you said that PP is underrated yet he is the leader. When did an underrated player become a leader. To be a leader in the team, you have the talent, the skill, the authority, the credibility and the most importantly, the respect of your teammates.

Unfortunately for your PP, he only is gifted with the talent, nothing else, and yet he prides himself as a superstar and he thinks that he is in the level of KB and LBJ. But far from it. When KG an Ray Allen were still playing somewhere else, Boston with PP as its main man, is languishing at the bottom pile of the NBA. He cannot bring his team to the playoffs on his own. And he cannot even boast of superior statistics except scoring. He neither cannot defend nor pass well, and that Sir is what makes him an overrated player. If you want to be a superstar, you must be able to carry your team.

In fairness to PP, there is one dimension where he really excel - best actor in playoff series. Remember 2008 Game 1 finals versus the Lakers. Mr. PP had the audacity to fake an injury, be carried in a wheelchair, and suddenly, miraculously come back to the game. It was really a terrible ploy (although I will be the first to admit that it worked but still it was distasteful). He was trying to emulate the move made by Willis Reed of the New York Knicks in their 1970 Game 7 championship against the Lakers. Do you know that story Mr. Buwitre?

With this antic, and other immature stuff that PP is dishing every now and then (recently he shamefully tweaked LBJ via Twitter), he is in my book AN OVERRATED and EGOMANIACAL player with limited talents. Maybe someday he will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame . . . of the WWE.

Now who is funny Sir?

^^ Sir Nathan, since you seem like a knowledgable basketball fan, hope you wouldn't mind clarifying the ff:

 

- How do you know that PP doesn't have the respect of his teammates?

- How do you quantify whether a player is a good passer or defender?

- In your definition, if a player cannot carry his team to the playoffs, that player cannot be called a superstar?

- Would you say that a player who has been included in All-NBA 2nd or 3rd teams have limited talents?

 

Better too if you can provide proof to your allegations.

[Nathan M. York]

^^ Sir Nathan, since you seem like a knowledgable basketball fan, hope you wouldn't mind clarifying the ff:

 

- How do you know that PP doesn't have the respect of his teammates? He does not Sir. The acknowledged leader of Boston is KG, and rightly so because KG is the leader who takes up the cudgels for his team, who has the authority and respect of his teammates.

 

- How do you quantify whether a player is a good passer or defender? Sir, in basketball they have statistics. You don't know these? Or do I have to tell you that PP is nowhere near the top 10 in assists per game, or all-time leaders in assists, or nowhere near being nominated as defensive player of the year, ever.

 

- In your definition, if a player cannot carry his team to the playoffs, that player cannot be called a superstar? Well, the media can call you a superstar if you can score a lot of points, but you will never be a legitimate superstar if you cant win. LBJ brought Cleveland to the NBA Finals and numerous times to the playoffs. Kobe was one game away from eliminating Phoenix in the 2006 playoffs. PP? Before the arrival of KG and Allen in 2007, the previous regular season record of Boston in 2006 was 24-58 which was the 15th and last in the Eastern Conference. PP was Boston's main man then.

-

Would you say that a player who has been included in All-NBA 2nd or 3rd teams have limited talents? Of course, otherwise they would be named to the ALL NBA team right? That is why there is a ranking of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so forth. Was PP ever in the all NBA roster? I don't think so. Can he be named to this top distinguished list? No, because his talent is really limited.

Better too if you can provide proof to your allegations. They are not allegations Sir. They are facts. You can all look it up in the internet. Try NBA.com.

 

 

 

[dencio]

^^ Sir Nathan, thank you for such enlightening yet empty responses. It's obvious that your views are colored by some bias against the man. So I'll stop here.

 

And, by the way, before you give advice on looking up something on the internet, why don't you try it yourself. Specifically, look at the Awards section and All-NBA teams.

funniest joke ever :lol:

[Malisyoso1980]

nope Pierce aint overrated...

he wont come to the status of LBJ ...true.

but he stuck with one team (win or beat)...

he never demand a price like the former...

he's consistent numbers wise...

they aint awesome...but i guess stats are for geeks

who privy themselves on the net for data

instead of thinking of ways to score on chicks

 

... and its OK to boast of something on tweeter ...especially if you win.

Touche' Sir . . . It is also quire obvious that you are a Celtic fan, or horrors of horror, a PP follower.

 

But let me enlightnen you further.

 

For the ALL NBA TEAM, you must be referring to PP having been named to the ALL NBA 2ND TEAM in 2009 and his being 3 time ALL NBA 3RD TEAM (in 2002, 2003 & 2008), while I was referring to the ALL NBA FIRST TEAM or more commonly known as the ALL NBA TEAM.

 

PP was NEVER named in the ALL NBA FIRST TEAM if you will, only 2nd and 3rd, and will never get past those ranks.

 

And add to that, in the 2010 rankings of current small forwards which is his natural position, PP is ranked only 7th, and players like Danny Granger, Andre Igoudala and even Gerald Wallace outrank him, not to mention Carmelo Anthony, KD of Oklahoma and of course, LBJ.

He claims to be superstar yet Gerald Wallace is better in terms of overall statistics? Naman!

As for the other accolades of PP, it only proves my saying that he is one-dimensional player as his claim to fame is only scoring records with one exception, his Boston franchise record of 9 steals in one game in 1999 vs Miami Heat, although he shares this record with the great Larry Bird.

 

So what awards are you talking about? His 3-point shooting championship in the 2010 All Star game? Oh puleeezzz?!!!

 

And the awards you are raving about are also the basis for my contention that PP is indeed an overrated superstar.

 

Perhaps by now Sir you, together with Sir Buwitre, can already distinguish the meaning of OVERRATED and UNDERRATED. If you still can't get it, I'd be happy to oblige you with some pointers.

 

Better luck next time Sir.

PP led Boston to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2002 and he was Boston's main man then.

Oh yes Sir but that was a fluke more than anything else. And he teamed up with Antoine Walker then, with PP averaging 26.1 pts per game while AW was at 22.1 ppg. And after that, Boston went on downward spiral season after season until the arrival of KG and Ray Allen.

"The Truth" cant handle it alone.

[Ja_07]

OVERRATED = The Cheat 3

 

 

 

UNDERRATED = Monta Ellis

= Joe Johnson

= Gerald Wallace

= R. Westbrook

 

 

 

PP = Fail

the truth PP didnt single handledly bring the boston in playoffs during 2002.

 

A. Walker who average more than 20pts per game .

 

Imagine ang hina ng Eastern Conference team nun, kaya sure na papasok sa play offs ang Celtics.

from 2000-2010 3times lang nagchampion ang eatern conf. team

only new jersey been able to record back to back championship apperance.

 

back to PP. There is not legitimate title contender sa eastern conference. But given a talented players sa Celtics then cant even manage to win in conference finals. Then NJ badly lost to Lakers.
