re: Most Overrated Player In NBA History

I'll interrupt the Lebron argument taking place for the 38,000 consecutive day to say that it's actually a two man race between Kawhi Leonard and Chris Paul.

Kawhi is treated like he's the most elite of the elite, but he's had really two seasons like that in his career. He also leads the league in load management. He has extracted an astonishing amount out of that one season in Toronto. If that game 7 shot against Philly doesn't miraculously fall, no way he gets the pub he's gotten since.

Chris Paul is good, but post-knee injury, people have spent the last 13 years pretending like he's still the same guy. He's good, great even. He can't take over games consistently in playoff series since the knee injury and people overvalue his supposed intangibles to compensate for his diminished game (he's also spent most of his career berating teammates and driving them away, so his intangibles are questionable at best). Pre-knee injury, on a crazy trajectory for his career. Post-knee injury, a very good NBA player. Net result, vastly overrated.
