My pick is Anthony Edwards. He's great, but people talking about MVP potential need to slow it down.

Having browsed this sub for several years now, and seeing the direction it's taken, I think you would be hard pressed to find a player who is overrated since so many people like to shit on EVERYBODY.

LeBron is amazing, but gets shit on.

Harden is declining and is properly shit on.

Westbrook gets shit on.

Leonard. Shit on.

PG. Shit on.

AD. Shit on.

In fact, I'm surprised that there are any fans on this subreddit since everybody seems to hate everybody in this league.

The only guy who doesn't really get shit on is Joker, but he's the reigning MVP and defending champ, so he's not being overrated.

So with that said, despite the hate he gets, I'd have to say that Kyrie is most likely the most overrated player because there still seems to be a disgusting number of people who think that, his personal issues aside, he actually makes a positive contribution on the floor when he's only putting up numbers that make him look good.

Second would be his teammate: Luka.

Ah yes, the goldenboy of r/nba: Kyrie Irving.

I hear you.

People hate him. A lot of people.

But the people who love him FUCKING LOVE HIM.

And even a lot of the people who don't like him personally still think he is a good player.

And every time I say anything about him putting up great personal stats but not improving his teams, I just get a stream of replies acting like I'm talking shit out of my ass and getting a stream of excuses and people saying that he made LeBron look good.
