Your All-Time Overrated Starting 5

[1987_Lakers]

C - Moses Malone (Not a rim protector, black hole on offense)
PF - Karl Malone (Postseason choker)
SF - Julius Erving (Not as great as advertized by the media)
SG - Pete Maravich (Did this guy even reach the playoffs during his career?)
PG - Oscar Robertson (Triple double in an extremely fast paced era vs weak competition? Not impressed. No titles as the #1 man)

Rules - You have develop a team of players who were elected to the 50 greatest players of all time list in 1996 and you may also choose any superstars from the 00's era.

Griffin is without a doubt the most overrated player in the league today, dude has no skill.

The fact people still believe DJ is a starting level C (above average) imo makes him far more overrated than Griffin, as much as I don't like Griff he's got some game to him you got to at least respect him out on the floor, DJ.....not so much.

For me atm

C: DJ
PF: Ibaka
SF: no one really
SG: Shumpert
PG: Lin

All very average players who people believe can possibly be allstars.......

Everyone knows DJ & Lin are garbage. Ibaka is on that overrated list though.

Yeah, because I mean it was so easy that everyone was doing it.

[BoutPractice]

It's interesting to note that every single one of the lineups presented so far would be an unstoppable dynasty.

Oscar is overrated. Ive seen people put him top 5 goat.

That's because, unlike you, they actually watched Oscar Robertson play basketball. Let me enlighten you:

Leonard Koppett: "Oscar Robertson was the complete player. As a passer, mechanically, he was Cousy's equal. As a shooter, he was unsurpassed by anyone. On defense, he could guard his man and steal the ball, intercept passes with uncanny instinct, rebound with bigger man. Offensively, it seemed he could score any time he really wanted to - on a jump shot, on a drive, going into the pivot. In view of these things, it wasn't surprising that many began to refer to Oscar as the best basketball player the human race had yet produced. The argument: who would you rather have to start building a team, Wilt or Oscar, began to while away many an hour."

Peter Bjarkman: "Nobody could match the 'Big O' for pure artistic grace, for single-handed control of the playing floor he inhabited, or for all-around shooting, passing, and playmaking abilities. In brief, there was never a more complete package for a basketball player put together within a single human frame."

Peter Bjarkman: "For those that still respect versatility, there seems to be little debate. Oscar Robertson indeed remains the greatest basketball player ever invented."

Jerry West: "Oscar is without a doubt the greatest basketball player I have ever played against. To me he is the closest player I have ever seen to being perfect."

Elliot Kalb: "Oscar Robertson may have been better than Michael Jordan, except Cincinnati was not Chicago and the 1960s were not the 1990s."

Elliot Kalb: "Thirty years after his retirement, a strong case could be made for him to be called the best player in NBA history."

John Havlicek: "Oscar was the best player I ever played against. The guy did not have a weakness"

Leonard Koppett: "Anything Jordan could do, Robertson could do better. He could shoot better, defend, pass better, and he was two inches shorter."

Nate Archibald: [I]"He was the best all-around player ever. He was a great rebounder, defensive player

[1987_Lakers]

Did I mentioned Oscar's own teammates hated him? I guess that is one of the reason's why Oscar only had one 50+ win season without Kareem.
