NBA players who've been called overrated

[post_page_title]Pete Maravich[/post_page_title]
You might see this as a blasphemy, but we’ll accept if this one’s a bit controversial. Pistol Pete was just the coolest player around in the 70s, and there’s a reason he’s remembered more than plenty of other players who had more success than him.

He was a legendary swashbuckler, a three point shooter before it became cool, and a razzle dazzle ball handling savant who was clearly a huge influence on the way Magic Johnson played. However, his risky passing cost him a lot of turnovers, and he wasn’t much of a defender. As a result, he never was able to lead his team past the opening round of the playoffs, which is saying a lot for a player who many consider to be transcendent.
