    Its seems like FG% is the most important stats to them, not wins , not rings, but that FG% is the key to everything.

    Melo, Dirk is definitely not overpaid!!

    Dirk is averaging 17 pts a game on a lottery team. Definitely overpaid!

    He's not overpaid at all and is the primary reason people even watch the Lakers. If it weren't for Kobe, the Lakers fan base would probably drop 60-70%.

    They know who they are.

    I defend Lin because the back lash he gets is unfair. And these people will stop at nothing to diminish a quality human being (for an NBA player that is).

    If it's any NBA player that deserved to be defended it's Lin.

    A good defense is a good offense

    It seems like it's athletes that get this rep.

    Meanwhile untalented idiots from reality TV and attractive but bad actors are given millions to star in movies they have no business being in.

    It's like he made the formula, crunched all the numbers.

    Saw that the results were ridiculous and still published the story anyway.

    Dude obviously has never watched a game.

    Dirk is not overpaid. He's just past his prime. I am not a huge fan of Melo, But he's playing like a top 5 Player in the NBA since the start of the Knicks winning streak.

    Disagree completely with Melo, Nowitzki and Afflalo being on the list. Maybe Kaman too, C's always get more $ and considering someone like Kwame Brown has scored $8 million a year deals, i'd say Kaman being paid that much is fine.

    Lebron is easily the most undervalued player in the league..


    dude could go to the BOBCATS and make them instant championship contenders, most likely would win 2 titles at minimum with that current CATS squad..

    Full blown reason why people who try to just use stats to analyze a player's impact don't know the game of basketball.
