I’m even nervous to say one because I know I’ll get blasted! I’ll just say it this way, if a lot of players shot the ball 30 times a game, they would’ve had numbers like Allen Iverson.
Never thought he made his team better either. Still a great player, just felt he was overrated. Think he falls into the great player and fun to watch category.

I think what makes AI so impressive is what he was able to do at his size . I agree he was slight overrated but was there ever a tougher more ferocious player than him ?? He took an absolute pounding his entire career .
He took a pretty shity 76er's team to the finals. He had to have made them somewhat better.
Wow this one is gonna tick people off but .... Mike Tyson . Really love Mike but here is why .... Name one GREAT fighter that he beat . Ali had Frazier , Foreman , Norton , Spinks etc etc . Sugar Ray had Duran , Hagler , Hearns . In my opinion Tyson only fought two great fighters in his career , Holyfield twice and Lennox Lewis . He lost all three fights and got Knocked out twice . As much as I loved Mike back in the day , I think his aura is bigger than his accomplishments . Ok I’m ready for the onslaught . Can’t really blame him for the lack of competition.
I think you make a legitimate point about Tyson. When he was in his prime, the heavyweight division was fairly weak. It would have been great to see him against some top flight heavyweights before he went to prison to see just how he measured up.Wow this one is gonna tick people off but .... Mike Tyson .

Tyson was not a good boxer. He had an incredible punch so it was fun to watch his matches waiting for him to connect. But he had little boxing skill other than that powerful punch. He is basically like the first baseman who hits for a .212 average , but smashes 42 home runs. Fun to watch bat, hoping for that long ball, but not the greatest baseball hitter.
I know people will kill me for this but Dean Smith. All that talent and only 2 NC in 40 years of coaching. And he knew all the refs by their 1st name.
NFL- Namath and Herschel are petty high up there.
Bean was more of a novelty.

If Namath didn’t make the guarantee we’d probably never talk about him.
This was actually one of the first names that popped into my mind when I read the title. He was certainly an innovator and influencer. Got to the finals 5 times, to the Final Four 11 times...but yeah, 2 titles sticks in my mind. During an era that featured far less parity UNC had some RIDICULOUS talent.I know people will kill me for this but Dean Smith. All that talent and only 2 NC in 40 years of coaching.

I think any Mets fan might disagree.For me it's Chipper Jones. But maybe that's because during my long career as a Braves fan, almost every time Chipper came up to bat in a clutch situation with me watching he didn't produce.
That said, Chipper has HOF numbers and he's in the Hall, but the Braves only have one WS to show for that. I put some of that on him. Great player, yes. Absolutely. But overrated none the less.

As for a more original "Most Overrated"...I'll go with NFL=Troy Aikman...NBA=Karl Malone...MLB=Derek Jeter.

Chipper is easily top 5 ever at his position.
Jetter is much more overrated.
Are you saying Chipper is top 5 overrated or best?
If best, and I love Chipper, but hard to say he’s best at his position considering he started at SS, moved to 3rd, then OF, and didn’t he even play 1st?
Which reminds me...Mike Piazza! Good hitter...absolutely terrible catcher.
Feel like 80’s Mike was the real deal. 90’s post-prison Mike fought for the $. Never thought much of the Holyfield matchups. Those fights were terrible on both accounts. If not for the ear we’d probably never talk about them.
