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 true for all athletes. When you go to training you don’t practice getting taller, you work on skills and techniques. You can’t help but admire someone who did all the same drills as you and practiced like you did but is just better at everything. It’s also annoying to see someone taller be more effective at the game despite having crap skills.
