    Give me one

    Here is mine

    Overrated: Dwight Howard ( Still a great person though)

    Underrated: Dirk Nowitzki - Everybody forgot about how good he is, everybody just goes with reputation and say he's nothing but a softie, those are all lies.

    Overrated: Carlos Boozer
    Underrated: Ron Artest

    And yes, I realize that I am going against all that I hold true in the NBA world--Hollinger's PER ratings. But the fact of the matter is, Utah is doing just fine subbing Millsapp in for Boozer, and we did pretty crappy against the Clippers and have done much much better since then with Ron coming off the bench. I hope it continues to be that way. For both teams.

    He was also viciously abused by Roy on both ends of the floor in one of their games last season, in crunch time. It wasn't pretty.

    I guess you're trying to say Brandon Roy is better. I like them both and I made that statement because i think they're comparable players and JJ is really big, i'm not really gonna speculate on who's better.

    Yeah...i guess it just depends on where you look. I've seen Roy listed as 6'5 and JJ listed at 6'8 before. Not really a big deal, just said it to make a point about his size.

    Not sure about overrated. That's always harder for me to determine.

    But for underrated I will go with Jeff Foster. He's an incredible offensive rebounder, a tireless worker, and just a generally crafty big man. Not to mention that in this, his 9th NBA season, he's putting up career highs in points, steals, blocks, and FT%. Talk about a guy I would love to have on this Rockets roster.

    Overrated: Paul Pierce -- He's been talking brashly just right after they won a championship.BUT without Allen and KG,he's just a scrub.

    Underrated:Yao --Heaps of people still don't understand at 7'6 it's quite difficult for our big fella to jump high and grab boards like Dwight does.He's just betta than Dwight in any way.

    Overrated: Current Tmac, Shane Battier, Mutumbo, Greg Oden

    Underrated: Zach Randolph and Al Jefferson by far! These guys put up great numbers "consistently" and yet, never get any attention.
