Re: Underrated/Overrated Greats

can we limit this to players who played at least 5 seasons after 1960; lots of early players aren't very impressive. For later ones . . . several of the early Celtics got carried in by Bill Russell, I would include Sharman, KC Jones, and probably Heinsohn in that category. Similarly, Worthy is in the hall while superior peers aren't thanks to being carried there by Kareem and Magic. Not a big fan of the Maravich types either but like Iverson gets all-star selections, volume scoring gets you props even if it isn't connected to team success.

Oh and have I mentioned recently that Bill Bradley is the most overrated player in the history of the NBA?
