But guys, almost every top 10 player at any position could be deemed overrated. You can find one aspect or many, but you can always make a case for it. Even Dirk is overrated, certainly by this board, but that is the name of the game. Fans tend to overrate more than others. Some are blinded by the ceilings of players that they overrate the player based on what he could be, when he isn't that player yet.
Someone pointed it out, but media has a major influence as well.
Every player that you guys are arguing about be overrated, I am sure that everyone of you would like to have that player on the Mavs.

Dirk most certainly isn't overrated. We're talking national perspective, not by each individual fan base.
A lot of people think Rose is highly overrated nationally (basketball fan wise), check out RealGM sometime, and you'll see a broader perspective.
Often there's a stark contrast between what the media rates a player to be and what fans (of the league in general) rate them to be.
