Cant believe it took so long for him to be put in this thread. He was my favorite player growing up and I lived in Chicago... Guess I always liked the underrated underdog. I bet you ask Mike or Scottie who the best scorer they ever faced was and they'll say Nique :yes:

If this dude got the ability to be babied his whole career like Duncan does (being 7 feet and not being listed as a center or playing center even though u play like a center) and could play like Karl Malone did I think he would've easily been the best PF ever...

how about Kareem? it seems like he has disappeared from NBA fans' memory. for instance you could argue that he's the GOAT player but nobody EVER gives him consideration.

The only people I really even consider for the GOAT are MJ, Russell, and Kareem. I think you can make a legitimate and very strong case for any of those three..
 

Ive always been skeptical of Wilt because his offensive game was so limited...truly was just oversized for the game.. people try to call Shaq limited..Wilt makes Shaq look like Hakeem... I guess I cant hold his era against him.. but considering there were also only 8 teams for most of his career and he could only mister up two titles and that was after being aligned with multiple Hall of Fame players... To me, it is very hard to consider him BETTER than Kareem...I know he got caught up in the Boston dynasty but if he was truly the GOAT..he would have found ways to muster up more titles

Underated:
Mahmoud_Abdul-Rauf- Flat out balled.
Dennis Rodman -was one dimensional but was EXCELLENT at it.Look at guys like John Stockton and Steve Nash who excelled at one dimension(assists) of a dimension(offense) but did little else.


Overated:
Bill Walton
Steve Nash-Garbage at defense but announcers act like he is the greatest ever.
Manu Ginobli- He is ok but not the superstar he is played up to be.
Chris Mullin-good shooter but had no business on that dream team over Dumars or Isaiah.He was a solid player but never dominate enough to be hailed as one of the greats.

See a pattern here?

his game was VERY limited

That's bullshit how he made the Olympic Team over Shaq. I know he's the Collegiate Player Of The Year but Shaq was killing him that year. Laettner got a gold medal for being the 12th man on the squad. He played 2 minutes more than me.

Yeah, you overrate black players and underrate superior white ones.

Blunt: you said that Rodman was overated because he was one dimensional(lacked on offense).What do you think of Nash(no defense,no rebounding and streaky scorer) or Stockton(average defense no rebounding and non scorer)?
 
Underrated:
John Crotty. Master of the 10 day contract:lol::lol:
This dude played for at least 6-10 different teams every season.LOL

damn..excellent choice..i still remember that yam on Hakeem... was watching that shit live and jumped out of my fucking chair like :eek::eek:

This IS a good one. It was the way he never really dunked and then on a huge stage he poked on a HOF. I will never forget it.

OVERrated, and not eligible for the Hall yet.

His total disregard for offense negates his defensive achievements.

Really?:hmm:


Two of the purest shooters in the game. I mean Glen just shot uncosciously and Mitch had the patented kickout jumpshot from the corner that was just plain water.

nique was overrated
his game was VERY limited

At he was VERY unstoppable :hmm: with that "limited" game.:lol:
