    I think Doncic is turning into a little overrated one. Don't get me wrong he's a superstar, but I just think his reputation is better than his production on the court this season. 32% from three, almost 5 TOs per game, team is below .500, constant whining.

    Active player? It has to be Russell Westbrook.

    Jayson Tatum's problem is that he wants to play like Kobe instead of playing like Jayson Tatum. He was good before he started jacking up 15 midrange post fadeaways per game.

    Ja Morant, Zach Lavine, and Bradley Beal are always in talks for top superstars, but dudes who only score won't crack top 5.

    Jamal Murray can't stay healthy, he's turned into a worse AD in that way. Same goes for MPJ.

    Anyone who thinks Rudy Gobert is a championship calibler player is a moron. If you can't guard the 3-point line against top tier guards, you'll just get cooked.

    Shai Giligeous Alexander is hyped up as this star point guard, but its year 4 and he still can't shoot from 3. Only thing he's leading his team to is the lottery. If you told me that the Jalen Green Rockets would be in line for the 4th overall pick by 2025-26 then I'd say he's a bust.

    I'm going to second Westbrook. He has single-handedly lost more games with top level talent right next to him than anyone I can remember. He's a bonafide moron. I have never worried when we played against him cause I knew if the game was tight he was going to try to be Superman and end up chunking the ball from 3 and wasting every possession and lose. I was always right. Seen him do it against a lot of teams.

    Stephen Curry

    Greatest shooter of all time? Yes.

    But his fans think he's Top 5 all time. I've heard a few mention him and Jordan in the same sentence.

    Apparently he can do no wrong either. If he has a really bad shooting night, cricket's. If his teammates do they're called BUMS and SCRUBS.

    Everyone talks of him as some basketball god and act like he didn't Steal an MVP from Harden, was not even playing as the best player on his own team in his first finals appearance, only winning his first ring because of no Kyrie or Love for the Cavs, and winning his next two championships playing second fiddle to KD.

    This is the one case that I do not care much about.

    In today's NBA shooting has been of the paramount importance while in the 90s nobody cared.

    I think people gradually realize what he is. Since his trip-dub MVP season, every team he played for got worse and wanted to get rid of him. Yet teams still thought he would be a great player. Up until this past offseason, LeBron still thought he would be an upgrade to the Lakers. LOL. Now he knows. Because of the high profile of LeBron/Lakers this is going to be the last straw that finally stops the overrating.

    LBJ and AD are both overrated now since teh Bubble championship.

    It is quite peculiar, but I think both have regressed to the point that they cannot carry a team no more.

    It is no secret why Stephen Curry is so successful in this era.

    Davis is undoubtedly a great player but I don’t remember him leading a team to anything. That Pelicans team featuring Jrue Holiday and Julius Randle was a bottom feeder in the NBA at the time.
    I understand Lebron aging but AD should be in his prime now. He is who he is.
