You know those guys that always seem to be considered "stars" or playmakers...... but have never won a damned thing at the pro level other than all star berths and some fame.
my top 3?
1. Steve Francis
2. Antoine Walker
3. T- Mac
honorable mention: Antawn Jamison, Carmelo Anthony, and Stephon Marbury.
and i dont mean guys like LeBron and Wade who seem destined to win eventually.
be careful not to confuse overpaid with overrated. Just because some team felt it was necessary to give out a max contract to a guy, it doesn't mean the player is perceived around the league or by the media as a great player.
I'd say the reigning MVP is overrated.

overpaid are the likes of Jerome James and Brian Cardinal, etc.
Im talking about players that are seen as the "superstars" of the league. Players that are expected to lead the team in scoring every night (and usually do... on the way to a twelve point loss).
I was thinking of him as well. It's pretty telling that he's yet to even average double digit rebounds.

I think the perception of Vince around the leauge is on the money: high scoring swing man who can dominate at times. He also has had some success in the playoffs.

1.)yao
2) lamar odom- im so tired of hearing how much potential this guy has. saturday night he scored a grand total of 2 points and he has scored in single digits alot this season. good rebounder but his defense is atrocious
3.)antoine walker

it's not his fault he had to spend a lot of his career north of the border
it's his fault that he tanked his way out of there, then all of a sudden found his game again once he was out
he's not the first guy, nor will he be the last, to do that. If I'm a Raptors fan, I'm more upset with the GM for giving the guy away for next to nothing.
