maybe a wanker of the week award could be started with this guy as the inaugral winner....

Charles Barkley:
managed to dominate the boards and score over a 20 a game in his prime at a 'towering' 6'5/6'6 playing power forward. Yeh he wasnt in the best shape but neither is shaq is he overrated? oh did i mention he beat out jordan for an mvp award wen he led the suns to the finals in 1993.

Walt Bellamy:
never saw him play but surely u cant make the NBA hall of fame unless youve got a fair amount of game.

Patrick Ewing:
career avgs of 21 ppg, 9.8ppg, 2.45bpg and avgd.
Didnt even come to the states til he was 11 and was named one of the 50 greatest players of all time. Not bad for someone that couldnt move, last time i checked not many 7 footers were that agile.

Karl Malone:
career avgs of 25ppg and 10rpg, 2 time league mvp - couldnt have been all stockton if he won 2 of those babies, not to mention that after stockton retired he still managed to avg 20 and 8 in his late 30's. one of the greatest power forwards of all time hands down.

Pete Maravich:
Never saw him play but ive heard he's one of the best shooters and ball handlers of all time.

Gary Payton:
name one player in the 90's capable of stopping michael jordan, ok now name one player capable of stopping michael jordan in the nba finals - 6 titles, 6 finals mvps. Ok so jordan who is 6'6, has a 40 inch vert prob more, and one of the greatest turnaround jumpshots of all time and this guy is dissing payton for jordan schooling him in the post???

David Robinson:
Cream Puff? Couldnt stand his ground? last time i recalled David Robinson was the buffest bastard ive ever seen. limited offensive game....i wish i could score 71 points in an NBA game wit a limited offensive game.

Charley Rosen has a serious history to dribbling shit...

He's written another article about the real Top 10 players for each position (some I agree with, others leave me shaking my head). Here are some links:

Centre: http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/3754212

PF:
http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/3747894

He rates Kevin McHale as the second best all-time PF. I like McHale, but not that much!!!!

SF:

SG:
http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/3737458

At least he got this one right with Jordan as No 1

PG:

Coach:

6th Man: (WTF)
http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/3758866

He's got the best ever 6th man at number 5. Second best at 6.

chris webber aka c webb

i would have 2 say...C webb

U CAN't say anything about David Robinson..how can u say he is offensivley limited when he is the only player in history 2 drop a Quadruple double

i think you will find that the first ever quadruple double was recorded by Nate Thurmond

im wondering who ppl think is the most overrated current player. Id say mine would be quentin richardson

Yao ming man! so much hype with little results!

On the opening night of the 74-75 NBA season, Nate Thurmond made his Chicago Bulls' debut v the Atlanta Hawks (if I remember it rightly, it was on October 18 - I was 4 months' old!). He had 22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists and 12 blocks.

Other quadruple doubles:

Alvin Robertson, San Antonio v. Phoenix 2/18/86
20 pts, 11 reb, 10 ass, 10 stls.

Hakeem Olajuwon, Houston v. Milwaukee 3/29/90
18 pts, 16 reb, 10 ass, 11 bks.

David Robinson, San Antonio v. Detroit 2/17/94
34 pts, 10 reb, 10 ass, 10 bks.

Rebounds were not tabulated until the 1950-51 season and blocks were not tabulated until the 1973-74 season, so some great performances may not have been recorded.

22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists and 12 blocks. THAT IS JUST MASSIVE. FAAAAAAARKKKKKKK.

i hate that article it insluts so many legends unfairly

Can I throw Scott Skiles into the mix of most overrated NBA player?

Anyone that gets 30 assists cannot be in the most overrated of all time. That feat will never be repeated.

that bald headed knob from foxsports.com has a massive chip on his shoulder. None of those guys could ever be overated they all made a name for them self for feats on the court!!! overated players should be newer guys who thought yeah i dont need to go to college im all that.. become lottery picks then become 2 or 3 yr duds!! dont like naming blokes but those young so called ballers who stuffed up our premier league with rookies with no skils kickin out awesome vets..

ritz

How about Joe Smith and/or Kwame Brown? 2 number 1 picks that should not have been picked in the top 10 of their respective drafts....

No team would pick a player to be "servicable" as number 1, as I said anon, they shouldn't have been picked in the top 10. That is for "stars".... Kwame may turn into a star late ala Jermaine O'Neal but Joe Smith as pick 1.Please...

These are the most overrated today in my opinion, Carmelo Anthony and Dirk Nowitzki (can't play defense if his life depends on it)

I would have to say Yao ming

David Robinson was pretty well known in the mid-90s for coming up small in big games and generally being pretty soft. His own teammates (e.g. Dennis Rodman) even said so. It only got covered up recently because he won 2 titles with Tim Duncan's help.

JASON KIDD!!!

Scottie Pippen....I'm not sure that he was as good as everyone let on. He was very good, enough to make the HOF as far as i'm concerned, but not better than the following. I could name at least 4 other players at his position(roughly) that didn't make the 50 greatest list and were better than him. These guys carried there teams for the most part except maybe English, he had a good cast with him.

1. Dominique Wilkins
2. Adrian Dantley
3. Alex English
4. Bob McAdoo

u guys r so dumb haha omg
