Who do yall think is the most underrated player in the NBA?

Question

I think Shawn Marion and Joe Johnson is the most underrated players in the NBA


What yall think?

Yea Leandro Barbosa is underrated

The reason y I think Shawn Marion is underrated is because they can't even put him on the all number 1 defensive team Shawn Marion is a great defensive player.

Answer 1

there are a lot of underrated guys, but someone everyone is leaving out is caron butler. this is a guy who plays good defense and gets a lot of steals, shoots well from the free throw line, has a solid midranger shot, can drive, and now he can even shoot 3's. i think people tend to forget about him in the shadow of arenas and jamison.

Answer 2

How is Shawn Marion underrated?
His good at where his at, Joe Johnson i understand..
In my opinion Barbosa is the most underrated player right know.

Answer 3

Underrated players aren't that hard to find. But my answer may be strange, but I think Andrei Kirilenko is. Although he is recognized by the NBA, he is not a fan favorite. He has an amazing blocking ability, he can steal, he can even sometimes hit the three. He's not known for scoring, but really he can get many shots inside. He is also a very caring person. He participates in NBA Cares and joins activities to help kids learn basketball. Yet, he is not known for that.

Answer 4

marion and joe johnson weren't underrated bec their plays were recognized by inviting them to play for the national team few years ago..not to mention they also played in last all star game (shawn marion was handpicked by d'antoni while joe johnson was chosen by stern to replace a player due to injury, i forgot who the player was)..

my pick for the most underrated player today is danny granger.(move over j oneal, here comes the new franchise player) - a 6'10" versatile forward who can do almost everything, defend, shoot 3's and drive the ball inside.. people wren't giving him much credit even if he's having a great year.. he's being overshadowed by j oneal..

watch out for this kid.

Answer 5

AK 47 of the JAZZ .. He is a better all round player .. a genuine triple double who can score 5 plus blocks n steals when given a chance ..

Manu Ginibili .. He is one of the greatest winners in basketball .. Euroleague 2 time MVP , World championship MVP, Olmpics gold medal winner n best player of the Olmpics . Drops 37 on Mavs n Jazz when Duncan is away .

Answer 6

hyped up somewhat Jordan Farmar, he rather did a element and now communities are offering him their commencing place? i replaced into staring at a Lakers playoff game and there have been approximately 4 performs while he replaced into in (offense and protection) and he tousled on all of them, he isn't that solid. Underrated is complicated yet i'm going to assert Paul Millsap. As a Jazz fan I see him bust his *** to get each and every unfastened ball and adult adult males think of hes no longer solid. (i'm uncertain human beings get how great LeBron James is. Watch his play and you will see how he leads each and every person and takes administration of the game consistently.

Answer 7

I think Yao Ming is UNDERRATED!
Everyone has been talking about Dwight Howard and Amare this year, they seemed to forget the 7'6ft center that's averaging 22 10 2ast 2blk a game. And almost everyone overlook his defense abilities, Rockets are so effective on defense is only because Yao shuts down the lane. LeBron is only 1-4 against the rockets because he can't get in the lane, Kobe beat the Rockets only by jump shots.once again Yao is UNDERRATED!!!

Answer 8

Jose Calderon

Answer 9

shawn marion

Answer 10

Yao Ming. I still think that he has great potential. I say this because of all the racist fouls against him trying to prevent him from going from a good player to a great player because he is Chinese, because of all the things that have been happening on the news about China lately. It is like affirmative action in reverse. Players are routinely allowed to foul and hack him with no fouls called on them when they are playing defense on him, as evidenced by the replays, or allowed to engage in illegal defense, like having no 3-second call called on them whenever they front and back him on defense, and then when Yao Ming does that, he immediately has a defensive 3-second call called on him. And whenever he plays offense, the referees sometimes either call a very questionable light offensive foul, another very questionable offensive 3-second violation which strangely enough is not called on any player but him, or a questionable travel call on him forcing a turnover. This would not happen with any other player in the NBA. He is the most hated man in the NBA solely because of his race. Everybody hates him because he is Chinese. The League does not want him to succeed and they are holding him down. They have changed his game. It is pitiful to see a 7 and 1/2 footer reduced to an immobile standing tree standing there in the lane with both of his hands up trying to block a shot while desperately trying to avoid a foul and not challenging the shot actively, and offensive players knowing that they can shoot freely over him because the referees won't let Yao Ming try to block the shot. And the tactic doesn't work anyway, he still gets the foul called on him, even when the replay shows that he did not or barely even touched the player. I have even noticed instances where Yao Ming makes a block, and they do not even count it in the box score. (!!!) Yes, if you’re wondering, I did actually carefully count and tally in my head the total number of blocks Yao Ming has had in games while watching Houston Rockets games. I did this for at least 3 games while watching Yao Ming play in Houston Rockets games, once I noticed this trend of not counting the full number of blocks that he made during a game and is due by accident during one game. I personally counted at least 3 games where they did not the full number of blocks that Yao Ming made during a game, and then I gave up counting after 3 once I understood that it was a trend, and realized that they were probably doing it deliberately, and that it was not just a random accident, or my imagination. And meanwhile another good center like Dwight Howard gets around 20 foul shots a game. I am not saying that Dwight Howard does not deserve all of those foul shots, but it is obvious from replays that Yao Ming deserves more foul shots and less offensive fouls and turnover calls, but that the referees are extra hard or strict on him trying to either make him a scapegoat for China, or deliberately keeping him down because he is Chinese and he breaks the mold of Chinese inferiority. Both of his coaches--both his former one, Jeff Van Gundy, and his present one, Rick Adelman, have already acknowledged the situation and complained about it to the NBA's front office, but the League won't change it, because they want it to remain that way, and the problems are racist in nature. Politics does not deserve any place in sports, and players should not be the victims of bias or prejudice no matter what nationality or country they come from, and no matter from what place around the world. If you invited them into your domestic sports league to play, then you should give them a fair shot, and allow them an equal chance to succeed like anyone else. Dwight Howard may very well be the better center--it would have been quite a challenge to see who is really the better center in the NBA over the years, as Yao Ming has been for the last 2 or 3 years, but we will never really know now because of the prejudiced and very biased officiating against Yao Ming. Any star player playing against him tends to get the calls called their way instead of in Yao Ming's favor, regardless of the truth, and what's right. This prejudiced and biased officiating against Yao Ming tends to lower all of his stats and increase his turnover rate as a player in the NBA, and prevents Yao Ming from reaching his full potential as a player. Even his own teammates sometimes freeze him out of the ball and refuse to pass to him when he is obviously open. This would never happen to any other player of any other nationality, such as Shaquille O' Neal or Chris Kaman. If Yao Ming were given a level and equal playing field, he might very well be an MVP candidate almost every single year, but I guess the League knows that, which is why they work so hard to keep him down, to prevent a Chinese player from winning the American National Basketball League's MVP. That would ruin everything for them, and ruin their justification for oppressing Chinese people. I estimate that Yao Ming is still playing to only 3/4 of his full potential. I guess the saying is true for the Chinese player in America versus the American player in America...home cooking really does taste better. Well, the truth had to come out sometime. As the old saying goes, "...what you whisper in back rooms will be shouted from the rooftops...". Yao Ming will probably go down in history as the best player in NBA basketball history who ever played the game who was NOT ALLOWED to be great.
