You think leBron is overrated have you seen this guy stephen curry

He is not trash! Best player in the league rn and it will stay that way till he retires. Only better players were Jordan, Kobe, & Larry Bird. - Zakattack2

Boi LeBron got ass kicked in the 2015 finals and people still think he's better hell naw

Ya he lost because his two best teammates were injured and he was playing with an unorganized team that was just put together against 3 all stars. Look at HIS stats from that finals. - willkotheimer1

Best ever? Not even the best of his generation KD and Curry all the way.

5 Blake Griffin

6 Anthony Bennett

The Contenders

11 Dirk Nowitzki

To people who do not play basketball, dirk is underrated. But to people who know how to play basketball, he is completely overrated. He got hot one postseason and won the finals. Other than that, he is just good at recieving votes telling him he is great, but his performance on the court tells a different tell. Great on offense, weak on defense and rebounding. I personally never seens a 7 footer weaker on defense and rebounding than dirk other than yao.

One the most overrated players in the history of the nba! His scoring numbers wouldn't be that impressive if not for 3pt line and phantom foul calls resulting in undeserved free points!

A rookie stoped him before lol

Sucks

13 Greg Oden

14 Vince Carter

Vincent Lamar "Vince" Carter is an American professional basketball player for the Sacramento Kings of the National Basketball Association.

15 Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bean Bryant is an American retired professional basketball player. He played his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. Kobe Bryant has won 5 NBA championships with the Lakers and is the all-time leading scorer in Lakers franchise history.

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.

Very, very overrated. He might of got 81 points once, and I respect that, but he's only won 1 MVP. Michael Jordan won about 5 and Kobe is more overrated than him!

Too much publicity, he is great player but not in the top 10 greatest of all time

THAT'S ALL HE DOES IS SHOOT!

16 Bill Walton

Avg 13 point and 10 rebounds for career-? Not Hall of Fame numbers?
Did have 1 good year (resulting in (Teamwork Championship)
Gets NBA credit for his college years.

17 Andrew Bynum

18 Allen Iverson

Blew a 3-1 lead by himself

20 Bill Laimbeer

21 Magic Johnson

Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr. is a retired American professional basketball player who played point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association for 13 seasons.

His being a womanizer or not has nothing to do with his basketball skills.

He is the worst because he is a womanizer

What is wrong with you Magic Johnson can:
Play ANY spot on the court
Is excellent on both ends
He is the GOAT of playmaking
there's nothing he can't do in Basketball
He played Center when Kareem was injured and scored 40 points
He has the 2nd highest amount of triple doubles (Oscar Robertson is first)
He is the 2nd or 3rd Greatest Player of All Time

22 Gilbert Arenas

23 Shaquille O'Neal

Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal, nicknamed Shaq, is a retired American professional basketball player who is currently an analyst on the television program Inside the NBA.

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 got sick and lost weight they would have kicked him out of the league

24 David Robinson

David Maurice Robinson is an American former professional basketball player, who played center for the San Antonio Spurs in the National Basketball Association for his entire career.

34 Michael Jordan

Michael Jeffrey Jordan, also known by his initials, MJ, is an American retired professional basketball player.

Take away Scottie Pippen and he has no titles! Did not win until Scottie Pippen came and Phil Jackson took over as coach.

Plagued against no competition at his position and couldn't win a title until he was surrounded by all stars

All great players who won championships had help from all star teammates.

All great players had help:
MJ from Scottie Pipoen, Phil Jackson, Rodman, and Grant
Magic Johnson from Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Worthy and Pat Riley
Kareem Abdul Jabbar had help from Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson and Pat Riley
Larry Bird had help from Kevin McHale and Robert Parish and Red Auerbach
Bill Russel had help from Bob Cousy and John Havlicek
LeBron James had help from Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, and Shane Battier
Wilt Chamberlain had help from Jerry West and Elgin Baylor
Tim Duncan had help from Gregg Poppvich, David Robinson, Tony Parker, Kawhi Leonard, and Manu Ginobli
Shaq had help from Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade, Phil Jackson and Pat Riley
Hakeem Olajuwon had help from Clyde Drexler
Oscar Robertson had help from Kareem
Kobe Bryant had help from Shaq, Phil Jackson. Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol, and Andrew Bynum
Julius Erving had Moses Malone and vics versa, while both also had Mo Cheeks
Jerry West had Wilt Chamberlain and ...more
