Jason Kidd is arguably the best point guard in the past 10 years. Over 100 triple double,An all time assist leader? A nine time all star? If he's overrated then I don't want to know what Steve Nash is.

To me Kobe is one of those borderline MVP's. Not at any point unquestionably the greatest player in the league, but at least top 10 for a couple of years.

[Kobe24]

Right now, HIGHLY underrated. Oh well, when the Cavs sink without Z, Kobe will rise up to first in the MVP rankings and take a back to back MVP.

[Diesel J]

IF you look at the Cavs team from last season and this season, the ONLY difference/addition is Mo Williams. Therefore he is the Cavs "REAL" MVP and the sole reason why (along with a soft schedule) they have the record that they do right now.

No doubt about it.

Just like Gasol won Kobe the MVP? You better thank Memphis/Jerry West for Kobe's MVP post-Shaq era Kobe w/o Gasol = 2nd round virgin

Ok so I did some research to back up my point. Bynum went down 35 games into the season. The Lakers from that time until they got Pau went 5-5 aka .500. They went from 25-11 (.694) (24-11 was the game he went down in) to 30-16 (.652) during that span. When they got Pau they went 27-9 after they got him, but I know that he got hurt for a few games. That brought their percentage back up to 695.

Without Pau the team would possibly have continued to play .500 ball and won 48 games. Bam all over you.

This must have gotten burried. For those of you that don't believe it go to the schedule and do the math your self. This is a big FU to everyone who thought I was an idiot for saying Pau saved the Lakers season last year.

is kobe MJ, no, is Kobe overated.
no because only idiots compare him to MJ and only fools listen.
Kobe is and has been the best active player in the game though for a number of years, and that is not being overated, just appreciated

Best post on this thread!

Other than fools in the mainstream media, nobody compares Kobe to Jordan. That includes Laker fans, Kobe fans, and Kobe himself...we don't consider him to be on Jordan's level so how could he possibly be overrated? Its quite the opposite actually. Kobe is severely underrated on this board by no-life losers who know nothing about basketball. They only wish that he will be forgotten in a few years. They can't change the fact that people in the real world will always appreciate Kobe and consider him one of the greatest players to play this game. They can't change the opinion of coaches, GMs and NBA players who have considered Kobe to be the best player in the league for the past few years in a row. Deal with it, haters. If we win the title this year with Kobe as our leader, I

Exactly how is Kareem and Magic underrated when they played together?

Exactly how is Wilt underrated when he played with 2 top 15 players all time and couldn't win?

How is Pippen underrated when he played with 2 other top 20 players in Hakeem and Barkley and didn't even make it out of round 1?

Most importantly how is MJ overrated when he has the most finals mvp's ever by more than double and the highest scoring average ever in the season and playoffs?

There are people that go both ways. This season his numbers aren't as good because he's concentrating more on defense and getting his teammates involved. Top to bottom, that roster might be the best in the NBA. So this season he's become underrated, they shrug him off compared to LeBron and DWade. Overall though, people try and compare him to the all-time greats, and if he can win a championship this year, it'll be warranted. But for now, he's not as good.
