re: The NBA's most overrated player

He couldn't even make first team all defense.

when Roy freaking Hibbert can post you up like this:


then I don't think you really are first team all defense at the moment , also it is widely known that All Defense selection is a joke.

Hence Mike James getting two votes(one of them being a first team vote), Kobe Bryant getting votes.Deng,Iggy and Larry Sanders being left off the teams, and Avery Bradley who only played 60% making second team while not playing particularly outstanding defense

Marc Gasol is a good one

Team runs the offense through him, best passing big out there. His offensive rebounding numbers seem low, but that's because 1) he's in the high post 2) he's coached to not crash boards and get back on D 3) he's playing with a very good rebounder in Z-Bo

His response to not being first team all defense? just 6 blocks last night (with several clutch baskets).

Shoots 80-85% from the line. Can play both low and high post.

As of right now, posting a 22 PER and fourth in the NBA in Estimated Wins Added behind Durant, James and Curry.

I'd say he is underrated by most.
