no chance on the marion, allen front but mehmet okur is definately a big part of utahs winning ways. boozer has been out and they keep winning.

luol deng. He averages over 15.2 ppg's per game and he never gets credit for anything because of Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich

I think it's Chris Bosh. I mean he is over shadowed by the 03' draft class by the likes of Carmello, LeBron, and Wade... thats a hard group to compete in. But he is averging 23 and 11, and hes the MVP of toronto, but yet no one ever gives him the regonition he deserves. He's always compared to the 03 draft class and KG just because he has the same body type as KG. Bosh may be a top 5 big man in the NBA but just because he's on the Raptors (which are surprisanly doing amazing... i wonder why?!)

Anthony Parker (Candace Parker's older brother) is incredibly under-rated in the NBA.
He is a humongous reason for the Raptor's turn this year around this year. He is a 3x euro league champ and a 2x euro league MVP. He also is primarily responsible for gaurding the other team's best wing scorer.
6 years ago he couldn't find a job in the NBA, now he is starting for a team that went from #1 draft pick to 4th best record in the east in a year.
And he is still better known for being Candace Parker's big brother. How under-rated is that?
If you are talking about main stream players who are "underated" then, Gerald Wallace or Emeka Okafor or almost any Chicago Bull.

First of all to be underrated you gotta play for a bad team....The most undderrated player in the nba is Michael Redd...He averages about 25 a game..The bucks are like 3-17 without him and 20-12 with him...He has one of the best shots in the game.But heres the thing, he doesn't play for a contender,he doesn't have a multi million dollar shoe deal, he isn't fighting fans in the stands...he's just a great player..

I'd say Ray Allen is most underrated player in the NBA, 2 other guys who u could also say r a lil underrated r Antawn Jamison, and Mehmet Okur, but Ray Allen is #1 most underrated in my opinion

the whole piston starting lineup. Peolple say they are just "veterans". If no piston player is considered a superstar, then why are they the best damn team in the east. Miami has D-Wadeand Shaq. Cleveland has Lebron. If those teams have superstars then why do the pistons have most chance of winning the east and possibly even winning the nba championship.

Rip Hamilton-Snubbed from the all-star game even though he leads the best team in the East in points.
Runner-up
Derron Williams-Second year player who is amazing 17.4 ppg and 9.2 apg. Him, Boozer and Okur could make a run come playoffs.
Honorable mention-Baron Davis,T.J. Ford,Luke Walton

I was told this by a Lakers scout years ago, Manu Ginobli creates havoc by driving fearlessly and hitting clutch shots, and being a difficult matchup...he is one of the reasons the Spurs are always mentioned when talking about elite teams in the NBA

Caron Butler of the Washington Wizards. Averages 21 points a game and 4 assists, along with 5 boards. When he PLAYED IN THE ALL-STAR GAME, nobody knew who he was. Yes, he did play in the allstar game.
