Choose 5. I’d love to do it but you can’t pick people you never saw. Severely limits me.

1. Hakeem
2. Chris Bosh
3. Tony Parker
4. Tyson Chandler
5. Sam Cassell

That’s 3 dumbass. Can you not count to 5?

Agree without 2/3 but Kirk was rated about right I think. None of those players are rated too highly really. Go for it.

Gary Payton led the Sonics in scoring and assists after Kemp left. Who was he passing the ball to? Scrubs.

Payton, I think, is recognized as one of the greatest PGs of his era. What’s the case he is underrated?

He's not as highly regarded as he should be. All-world defense, good scorer, and playmaking skills. Kidd gets more.shine but Payton is arguably better.

How is Hakeem underrated? He is considered by many to be the greatest C of all time...and considered one of the greatest of all time by just about everyone

When he wanted to he could transform into the best player on the court regardless of competition.

I think he’s roughly around 5-6th best all time and I hardly ever see him in the top 10. That’s really the only case. I know everyone knows he’s great generally.

But that's just it. The dickhead picked and chose when he would play.

No doubt but I think what you just said plays into how he’s remembered. But I think he’s a great debate topic on the whole overrated/underrated topic.

Do we agree for that season and that year he was the best player on the 04 Pistons team?

Can we agree that he wasn't the team leader on that team?

Which factors in my book.

Yeah that’s fair. Billups was unquestionably the leader and I think Larry Brown was pivotal as coach.

This makes me want to now nominate Prince also :lol: always hated Detroit and Cleveland teams but I really liked that Pistons team.

Bernard King is not underrated my friend. Even a young gun like me knows he was fucking awesome.

KJ was one of the best PGs of his time and you don't hear much about him.

I will give you McHale is close....but I just think he was so important to those great Celtic teams. He was more important to those teams than Parrish.

Baron Davis and Mitch Richmond are good calls.

I would throw in Mike Bibby

Bibby’s a good call for sure. He fell off quickly.

I’d also throw in Tony Allen. I know he’s well known as a defensive stopper and not much else and while that’s true I’d still argue he’s vastly underrated on that front.

Only a dipshit millennial would under rate Hakeem, he's the greatest center of all time and a top 10 player.
