    List players/team/GM's whateva is on your mind, my list would be this.

    Overrated: Philly- Do i think they got bright future? Yes. Do i think they're extremely overrated? YES.
    As currently constructed they have major issues. Simmons can't shoot a lick, Embiid has maturity and health concerns. Not sure what to make out of Fultz. Has pretty bad GM. Unless they get lucky in free agency and land someone like Lebron or PG i don't see them going to finals, because Boston says hello. They have won against pretty average Heat team and everyone started to crown them as new sliced bread.

    Paul Millsap: dude was suppose to take Denver to next level and was their big FA acquisition and he did zlitch. Sure he had some injuries, but to say he was disappointing is understatement.

    KAT and Wiggins: terrible post season (and ever regular season by Wiggins), they did less combined then Mitchell on his own. Wolves got good team, but boi did they played terrible. Wiggins in particular is one of most overrated players, he has attitude and work ethic issue and i only don't see him getting much better unless he sorts his issues out.

    Leonard: had someone like Harden pulled a stunt like this media would burn him for rest of his life, meanwhile Leonard gets a free pass. i get it that he was frustrated with Spurs medical staff or whateva was his case, but not being and cheering his team mates even from the bench is some next level BS, he is one of biggest NBA villains until its proven otherwise.

    Westbrook: our clutchfans resident and hate king. dude is absolute black hole, can chuck so much his hands will hurt from it, yet, media still loves him (much energy, strong!).


    Underrated:

    Clint Capela: only handful non Rockets fans would know how good dude is, people still think Gobert is that sliced bread.

    Royce O'Neale: everyone's in love with Ingles, but what about this dude, does not even make 2mil.

    Aron Baynes: great defender and team mate, would love to have him on Rockets.

    Rajon Rondo: getting paid 3mil, no one talks about him as being one of best pg's anymore, still brings that next level of passing.

    OVERRATED Team: Toronto Raptors, the results are showing themselves, right now.

    OVERRATED Player: Russell Westbrook/Carmelo Anthony (tie). Having overwhelming talent is not always a sure thing. DD - He can't take Toronto to the next level.

    Overrated GM: Doc Rivers/ Rich Cho (Oddly enough, alot of people used to say Mitch Kupachak, but I actually thought he made a lot of great moves and draft picks for the Lakers).

    @BigO- I agree on Paul Milsap, Atlanta made the right decision to go ahead and start tanking. He's a good player, but $31 Mill is way too much for someone who is not a franchise player, even with the labor bargaining agreements.

    Underrated Team: The Jazz/ The Pacers

    Underrated Player:Jayson Tatum/Jaylen Brown -- Boston should "DEFINITELY" not trade either one of these guys for Leonard, because I think they both have a chance to be near or that good.

    Nikola Jokic, I think can be a very special big man, he's only 21 and has played really well on a mediocre Denver team.

    Underrated:

    James Harden. He should have 3 MVP trophies by the end of this summer but the voters went full r****d the previous 2 times. Hell he would have been the only player in NBA history to have won 2 MVPs while playing different positions.

    To me the Sixers have that stink of a "team of the future" that will fall apart before they ever win anything, just like the Sampson/Olajuwon Rockets, Shaq/Penny Magic, and the Durant/Westbrook/Harden Thunder.

    I guess people need villains bad but the Kawhi incident was a surprise but I am not vilifying him.

    under rated- Ryan Anderson. Dude is a legit stretch 4 who can easily score 18 pts, 7 Rebs but most people forget about him

    underrated- Clint capela. he is the real MVP of our team. does all the things that gets us Ws

    slightly overrated- James Harden. Great stats but d is still not there to be a super star

    you must be a golden state fan..

    Capela has just outplayed Towns and Gobert is consecutive series and simply does things to make our team win

    He may not be flashy and take step back jumpers all day long but his defense, rebounding, shot blocking, and finishing around the rim is about as good as anyone in the league. Very unfortunate to have supposed "fans" who would under appreciate such talent and attack other Rocket fans....
