Who's the most overrated player in the NBA?

[NoStatsGuy]

Personally, I think you overrate Lakers players. Knicks with Brunson is just a far better team that what you proposing, this is a league where the team with best guy usually wins, and Brunson is top 10 guy in the league, not many teams have a betterguy than that. What is Knicks with Reaves, Hart, OG, Randle, Robinson and 12 mil? Its just a treadmill team, just a bunch of nothing.

You can disagree but Reaves and Vando would actually help give rest to all players.

They can play small or big with a smart IQ player that will play team ball and get the whole team going.

New York is known for hustle basketball playing with teamwork

Reaves, Hart, OG, Randle, Robinson, McBride, Donte, Vando is Better than just having Brunson.

You can even throw in Gabe to Backup Reaves/Hart


Hart literally broke apart because he was playing 48 minutes a game, c'mon let's be honest now

Hustle players are key to success but you also need a superstar to create offense. Put just hustle guys and they go nowhere, that is just reality of the league. I know Austin Reaves is talented offensively, but he is not Brunson, he is not number one guy in the NBA.

the key to knicks and brunsons' success is teamchemistry first an foremost. you cannot just put reaves on the team.

its laughable that someone actually thinks that reaves and vando would net better results. i would suggest not to entertain this kind of trolling. its kinda obvious. speaks for the basketball knowledge of the person breaking it all down

either way, this trade is never gonna happen because everybody knows brunson is much more valuable than any of the lakers players aside from AD and Lebron.

[Soca]

Lamelo ball.

[Capn'O]

You talking about the FIBA team? You putting that on Brunson?

Yes he played terrible

You can't put that on him, you know that was a crap team.

This guy also said he played terrible during the playoffs so not much to see here.

[3toheadmelo]

I like reaves but Brunson is 10x the player he is. What are we even doing here

[Zvaart]

The correct answer is: Draymond Green.

Put him in almost any other scenario and he could be out of the league.

You can't be serious...

Draymond would've been way better in 2024 in the Olympics for team USA vs Hali & Tatum

True Point Forward with way better defense & High IQ
I'm not even a Green fan but he's a winning player

This.

I don’t like him as a person, but he is a high iq player and a basketball savant.

Unfortunatelly his baggage tends to overshadow that.

Funny how he loses all that basketball IQ & savant-ness when Steph is injured?

[srhcan]

Who's the most overrated player in the NBA?

Tatum easily. He is not among top 10 players in the NBA, but media and some fans make him out to be.

You need talent to win championships

[SinceGatlingWasARookie]

When my 2022 Warriors played the Mavericks in the conference finals I thought this Brunson kid might be one of the most underrated players in the NBA.

Now I think Brunson has become overrated.

As a Warrior fan who has watched Draymond play with 4 g-leaguers on the floor with him when Curry, Klay and everybody else was injured I can assure you that Draymond is still a high basketball IQ basketball Savant even when playing with bad and stupid players.

If you can overlooks the out of control emotions and temper Draymond is funny, loving, a good interesting communicator and smart in thinking, analysis and smart with words.

People hating Draymond says more about the people hating Draymond than it says about Draymond. People hated Barkley before he retired and became a media person. Why did Barkley have to retire before the conformists could realize that Barkley was funny? People hated Rodman. Rodman did not have an easy life. Rodman was doing the best that he could.

I kind of hate the wimpy ass conformists that hate Draymond, Barkley, Rodman and Palestinians. I do not want no brainwashed passive aggressive evil zombies around me. Wimpy ass? Just add “ass” to anything to sound more black but do young blacks do that? The blacks I knew got old like me and a few of them died. I am not black.

[FuShengTHEGreat]

Anthony Davis for me.

He has some of the most fools gold 30×ppg 10+ rpg games of any player ive ever seen. You look at a end of game where his team lost and check the boxscore and be "wow he had 32/12 on like 54% fg.... he did his part. .

But when you watch the game he gets like 25 to 28 of those points in the first half gets the odd basket in the 3rd quarter and just completely disappears on offense. for the rest of the game.

He starts out by killing teams with shots very close to the rim or dunks. Then when the 4th quarter hits, he stands around on the perimeter deferring to lesser guys outside of Lebron.

Its almost like once he's gotten certain numbers he's content and plateaus.

I love Draymond the man, Draymond the player and Draymond the commentator. Draymond has a temper problem but so does my wife and I love her.

If you dislike Draymond I will not trust you. I do not trust pack animal people and conformists.

Team USA's water boy

[doogie_hauser]

Tyrese Maxey is right up there.

[PhilBlackson]

Devin Booker….not the most, but definitely up there imo.

I’m not sure there’s another player in the league that gets a pass the way he does. All I hear is people calling him a supposed “dog” and talking heads like Stephen A likening him to Kobe but aside from that Finals run, Booker has choked in multiple big games.

Luka obliterated him and for some reason everyone used Ayton as the scapegoat when the showdown was supposed to be between 2 young stars in Luka and DBook. Put Tatum, SGA or Ant in his place and no one is letting them slide.

[RHODEY]

As others have said this is very subjective, with ambiguous criteria.

Overrated relative to who's criteria? ESPN's top 100 list? Random fans or posters?
If so, opinions will be all over the place.

To get a more "solid" answer you'd probably have to define very specific criteria and then do a poll.

Even with this, knowing RealGM, it's probably going to be "hate" type of answers.

I'm a Knicks fan, so Tatum is overrated.

His play on the biggest stage dictates he is overrated.

Lebron is overrated by the media and Lebronsexuals.
Brunson is underrated by rival team fans due to jealousy, and hate.

Final Warning: Please refrain from baiting or trolling opposing fanbases

[Hair Jordan]

Currently:
Lebron. He still looks great and fills up the stat sheet but they’re empty stats. His floor raising days are long gone. He’s lost 4-0 and 4-1 in his last two playoff series. One win out of nine games with prime AD on your team is atrocious.

All Time:
Reggie Miller. In a career that lasted 18 years, he made All NBA 3rd Team 3X and the All Star team 5X. That means he was never considered a top 10 player for any season in his career yet he somehow made the NBA Top 75 all time team.

On RealGM:
Kevin Garnett. People actually rate him above Magic, Bird, Wilt etc. Limited scorer who somehow gets a free pass for losing in the first round 7 CONSECUTIVE years. Lifetime playoff stats: 13 series won, 13 series lost. 70-73 overall in the playoffs. No signature games. Was more of a second banana than an alpha dog.
