Do basketballers overrate having 'a bag' or overrate players that can do things they cannot do? (alien.top)

I feel like current and ex-players downplay some players who don't have a bag like Giannis and then blow smoke up Kyrie's or even DeRozan's ass. I was reading a similar thing regarding footballers, how many of them rate Neymar a lot because of a similar reason (he can do things they cannot do).

It’s not an act of overrating, more that it’s just an acknowledgement of someone’s skill set.

You can’t always demonstrate the things you really can do in an organized game. There are many players who just went to the wrong team or had the misfortune of a shitty coach/front office whose futures would be different if those lottery balls fell diff.

Also, god given physical ability/height you got or you don’t got. Someone who has worked to perfect their game will always be acknowledged in that way.

That said. Giannis is a beast on the offensive and defensive end. Imma take that over a bag, any day.
