overrated do you agree??????????

Question

Gilbert Arenas i think is overated. He had one good month in december when they were comparing him to MJ on sportscenter. Sine then he shot 41% and 38% for januarary and feburary. for the season he shots 41%. He averages 21 shots and hits 8. I think he is just a guy who jacks up a lot of shots. I think he is a very good player. I think he is on like paul pirece level. He just has a very good supporting cast. He is to streaky of a shooter. But i will say he is a good clutch performer. However so is robert horry.

Answer 1

I wouldn't say overrated as much as over-expectations

Answer 2

there is so much talk in the forums about Arenas being the greatest and Arenas being average....

i have to agree with u to a point saying that Arenas is "over rated". he is a fantastic player and a true character in the L. at the moment he is struggling with his shot. the % are down and his team is suffering.

as the focal point of his team's offence he does need to take shots, because if he doesnt, there will be more of a burden on Jameson and Butler who i think benifit from the game that Arenas plays, and not vice versa.

i think the comparison to MJ would only be for his clutch shooting ability....but thats it. and yes as u said, even Horry is a clutch performer. as long as Arenas' % are down, i dont think we can regard him in the higher level of players like Jordan and Bird. yes hes a great player, but a lot of players in the L can take up to 30 shots and be one of the lead leaders in scoring

Answer 3

Well, he is a little over rated. I think its more that people expect so much of him, and he doesn't always meet those expectations and people just say that he's overrated.

Answer 4

He definately needs to learn how to play defense and his own position better instead of shooting the ball everytime he has a half an inch of space.
