    blake griffin the most overrated player in the nba?

    one of the biggest "star" named players in the NBA and he still has no game outside of a dunk .... yet people still consider him a top 5 PF in the league ... i dont get it .. all the hype for a player who can dunk

    I kinda feel it is Deron Williams. Great players lead teams to being significant. The Nets were horrible last year.

    He put on muscle hoping players would stop punking him like a bitch on the playground...

    Didn't work... David Lee of the Warriors was the latest to treat him like a 2-Bit Whore...

    Easily. Don't block shots. Makes stupid plays and has a worse range than Kristen Stewart.

    One of my favorite bets to do is that Blake Griffin will miss his first shot. It's usually +115ish and tends to play out like this.... Deandre Jordan wins the tip, he passes to CP3, Cp3 crosses half court and then passes the ball to Griffin about 15-20 feet from the hoop, he gives a few jab steps and lazy pump fakes, and then finally he clanks one off the rim.

    he has no jumper .. plays no defense ... and his post game is even worse ... i dont understand why everyone gives him so much credit for being able to jump 2 feet to dunk the ball ... its a shame

    Yes. Griffin is an athlete - but I think even that is overrated. He just dunks really hard.

    Kevin Love is still among the most underrated players in the game... Absolutely no business being in the NBA, he can't play above the rim - but he uses his brain and fundamentals and dominates on the boards. On top of that, he can stretch the defense with his range. He is all hustle. That kind of talent doesn't deteriorate very quick. He will be around a long time putting up 20 and 10.

    I am just saying, if Lebron James led a team to 22-44, all hell would break lose.

    Love should try playing some defense and quit worrying about padding his rebounding stats.

    I agree w/ u. I hate seeing him on top 5 pg lists ahead of guys like Parker or Rondo.

    Burst out laughing reading this

    But to answer the thread, yes.
    A lot of hype over him just because he can dunk.

    rondo is the best PG in the league by far ... plays defense and he understands how to play offense .. just because he scores 10 points if that a game doesnt mean shit ... any team would love to have him setting up his guys on offense ...

    sg wise i cant say anyone is better than kobe overall ... top 5 defender every year and offensive machine ...

    sf lebron obviously than durant

    pf i love aldrich from portland .. he has no team though at all

    and c probably dwight or bynum i guess

    I like your choices. Have no idea where Lebron should be classified tho (i tend to put him in the PG category myself). Favorite PF is still Dirk but would definitely take Lamarcus b/c of his age

    thats whats cool about the nba in a way .. u have players playing more than 1 position ... versatility to the max is all lebron .. he can play the 1-4 and sometimes can probably play the 5 if the center on the other team is small enough lol ... durant can play the 2-4 if he wanted to and even power forwards like josh smith can play the 3-5 ... dirk is amazing but his lack of defense is frustrating ... dwight gives u 20 and 10 every night and plays defense like an animal ... i hate players who get all the hype from dunking, meanwhile they are almost 7 ft tall and should be able to dunk on a 10 ft hoop ... raise the hoop size and see how many players will start to suck lol but i guess itll be to boring

    Yea, don't know about Rondo being the best PG. He can definitely dish the rock but his defense can be suspect at times. He takes too many chances to get steals that often lead to easy baskets for the other side. Right now, there should be no argument that CP3 is the best PG in the league. I agree with Kobe still being the best 2 guard. At C I would want Howard. Guy is a beast on defense. Bynum is a close second but he just doesn't try hard enough yet. Aldridge from Port can't be on the list because he doesn't grab enough boards. Right now, best PF in the game is K Love and obviously LBJ at SF. This is the Dream Team I wanna see:

    PG CP3
    SG Kobe
    C Dwight
    PF Lebron
    SF Durant

    Blake Griffin can be potentially legit in a few years..He is very athletic, I just don't understand the no calls and everyone's fascination with him though..HE COMMINTS AN OFFENSIVE FOUL EVERYTIME HE DUNKS OVER SOMEONE...Just watch any of his big dunks on youtube, he leads with his arm pushing the defender back almost everytime... Oh, and he isn't a very good rebounder..I'll take Kevin Love over him anyday, Love can shoot the 3s, consistant jumper, makes his free throws and most importantly gets rebounds

    we know he isnt a star player .. im just wondering why the nba gives him all that credit for just being able to dunk the ball ... its like baseball with the home runs now a days ... u hit 45 home runs in baseball but bat 200 ur a star in a lot of peoples eyes

    Dunk r what sells. That's why the NBA promotes him so much. Nobody wants to see K Love grabbing rebounds to promote the game. Although I think K Love is the best PF in the game now.
