NBA players who've been called overrated

When it comes to an article of this caliber, we realize that there are a lot of sensibilities at play. No one wants to hear that their favorite player is overrated, so if one of your boys is on the list, heed the words that we’re about to say: We realize that the entire concept of a player being “overrated” or “underrated” is somewhat flawed. If a player is labeled as overrated too often, this can sometimes grow out of hand up to a point where that same player starts being underrated.
These lists are always subjective, and we know you’re loyal fans to your respective squads – and you should be. Every NBA player is obviously supremely talented, and in order to not hurt any feelings, we’re going to categorize “overrated” in a very specific way. We’re going to focus on players who were obviously skilled, but for whatever reason couldn’t convert it to big time wins when it really mattered. These were the ones who could’ve been greater – but never took that final leap.

Speaking of leaps… Here’s a player who certainly wasn’t overrated as far as that respect goes. Athleticism and jumping as a whole was Vince Carter’s forte, and many consider him to be the greatest dunker of all time.

His antics in the 2000 NBA dunk contest were the stuff of legend, and you might say that it did a lot for this guy’s popularity. But although he was an 8-time all star, he never managed to elevate his game to the level required for a deep run in the playoffs, let alone a championship.
