Top 10 Most Overrated NBA Players of All Time

LeBron James is the most overrated player of this era. Imagine Kobe playing with KG and T-Mac in their prime - easy, huh? That's just what LeBron did. And he was playing in the Eastern Conference, if you know what that means.
But what the F... this boy left Miami after a terrible defeat by the Spurs? Knowing that D-Wade was starting to physically decline? Yeah, act like he's trying to bring one championship to Cleveland. They got Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving - again, another big 3!
You still think he's one of the greatest players? Take a look at what he's been through. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!



Flash-in-the-pan, got a string of wins against sad sack teams. Whoopee.

If he never got injured, he'd potentially be one of the best of all time. Like top 15 probably.
His 2011 season is nice, but it's not an all-time great season. He doesn't deserve to go to the Hall of Fame and no, he was not on a top 5 PG ever trajectory before his injuries.
Plays too fast and out of control.



He isn't as clutch as people say, and even though he hit some very difficult shots, he has missed a ton of them too. He generally isn't the GOAT, just as he isn't the 2nd best player of all time.
A guy who won 5 championships but wasn't the best player on the team in 3 of them can't be called a top 2 player. He was also extremely inefficient and a terrible teammate. Personally, I think he is a top 5 player of all time, just not top 2.
He is the most overrated player of all time. His career field goal percentage is 45%. His clutch percentage is around 32%.
He has always been surrounded by great players during his championship runs. When he wasn't, his team missed the playoffs.

An inefficient shot chucker who is immortalized due to the 2001 season where he shouldn't have won MVP over Shaq. He "dragged" an elite defensive team to the Finals, a team that had the DPOY, 6MOTY, and COTY, by the way. The refs helped push him there too.
Take away that season and there's virtually nothing to go off of. Not top 50 all time.
If he would actually practice, he could have become a good player. Now he is not even a top fifty player.
The Newcomers




Could dunk and block and not much else. 42 percent from the line. Really?
He should have retired after the dunk contest years ago.

He's trash compared to LeBron. For sure not one of the greats. Only bandwagoners like him. And no, I'm not a LeBron or Cavs fan. I'm a Lakers fan. It's just dumb always running into people who say Steph is the greatest of all time.

Avg 13 points and 10 rebounds for his career? Not Hall of Fame numbers. He did have 1 good year resulting in a team championship and gets NBA credit for his college years.

The only thing he is good at is getting fouled and making his beard look perfect.
Flops badly on defense. Take away free throws, and he averages 20 a game. Good but not MVP.
Travels, flops to get foul calls, and he doesn't even shoot good percentages. Takes way too many contested threes.

How can a guy who is 7-6 average just 9.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocks throughout his career? Dennis Rodman was 6-7 and averaged 13.1 rebounds for his career. The only reason he was so good was because of his height.
He was so bad! I don't even know how or why he is in the Hall of Fame.
This man is so bad. His height is it really.

Take away Scottie Pippen, and he has no titles! Did not win until Scottie Pippen came, and Phil Jackson took over as coach.
He had Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson on his team. He also got swept in the first round without those two.
Great player, but everyone acts like he is God. I do not think he is the GOAT.

Overhyped to the point where he is only for use as children's entertainment.
He was just big. He had no skills. If he had gotten sick and lost weight, they would have kicked him out of the league.

Overrated as crap. Can't even make a shot to save his life.


Amazing defender, arguably the best of all time, but his poor offensive ability is too much to overlook in my opinion. The only reason I say he is overrated is because people say he is a top 5 or even top 3 player of all time.



To people who do not play basketball, Dirk is underrated. But to those who know how to play, he is completely overrated. He got hot one postseason and won the Finals. Other than that, he is just good at receiving votes telling him he is great, but his performance on the court tells a different tale.
Great on offense, weak on defense and rebounding. I personally have never seen a 7-footer weaker on defense and rebounding than Dirk, other than Yao.
Dirk is not overrated, or every superstar is. His best help was Jason Terry and Shawn Marion. That was his team besides him. He got beat in a rigged 2006 Finals.
Look at his competition: Shaq, Dwyane Wade, and the Heat. Then the Heat in the big 3 era. All other champions didn't carry trash to the playoffs for an entire career.
