    You can argue he was outplayed by Gasol in the 2010 Playoff and Finalz and statistically he was.

    From 00-02 he did not elevate himself above VC or TMac.
    From 00-05 he did not elevate himself above TMac.
    From 05-11 he did not elevate himself above Wade or Lebron.

    He got to play 8 years with the Jordan of his Era (Prime Shaq).
    He got to play almost his entire Career with Phil Jackson.
    He got to play the last 3-4 Years of his Career with a Top 3 League-Wide Supporting Cast and arguably the best front court in the league and best 3rd man / 6th man in Odom.

    How are AI and TMac overrated? I have never seen them on anyone's top 20 list, or even top 30 list.

    Yes he was. VC was never quite on the level of T-Mac and Kobe. Agree to disagree.


    BTW anyone find it ironic that the people who are being mentioned the most in this thread (Oscar, Wilt, LeBron) are three of the most hated on/underrated players on ISH? strange.

    Fair enough but I do feel for that 2-3 Year stretch before his fire went out (perhaps due to lack of success) he was firmly on their level.

    I'm a huge fan of Wilt and LeBron. Oscar is genuinely overrated due to his triple double stats which weren't getting the same recognition like they do today. Chris Broussard has him in his top 5 all-time. If that's not overrated I don't know what is.

    There's a difference between being overrated and hated.

    How about this:

    Kobe has never once been #1 or #2 in the NBA in Win Shares or PER. Jordan was #1 16 times. Yet people are not only comparing the two but saying Kobe is better? That is crazy and proves just how overrated Kobe is here.

    And I think he is outstanding.

    I just hate how overrated he has become.

    I always rooted for him from 97-04 when him and Shaq were a duo and I was cheering loudly everytime he made a basket.

    I remember watching G2 of the Pistons series where he made the GWinner at my friends house and I was jumping up and down excited.

    His arrogance and lack of appreciation for certain things has slightly lowered my opinion of him as a person but as a player I can appreciate what he has done.

    Because idiots like to only look at stats when deciding how good a player is

    Those guys aren't overrated. They are all in the top 10 all time and belong there. Can even argue top 6-7 all time for all 3.
