This is why Jeter’s overrated imo. Still a hall of famer but not on that level.


This is exactly it....overrated does not mean no good it just means public perception creates a narrative of the athlete that is over and above the actual reality. That fits Jeter well. Maybe fits Joe Namath and Swan, others mentioned here....even more. I might put Patrick Ewing there for basketball.

Dude Patrick Ewing was a beast. I dont see anybody calling him the GOAT but he was really really good. He was terrifying at Georgetown. He was huge and fast and mean AF.

How is he overrated?
