I was looking up Oscar Robinsons stats, and he averaged a triple double for a season once and almost did it 2 other times. I understand basketball wasn't as competitive as it is now, but he still deserves more credit. Why doesn't he get enough credit as he should?

pace and role maybe..
If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.

I love the Big O but he's overrated. He literally wouldn't average those numbers in todays Nba.

So you must think bill Russell is overrated as well right? Originally Posted by b@llhog24

All that matters though to us Laker fans is #17! Lakersnation! #16to17

For sure he's overrated. You can argue Bill shouldn't even be in the top 10. Originally Posted by LoveMeOrHateMe

Everyone else in the top 10 was pretty good on defense but offensively and play making wise everyone in the top 10> RussellLast edited by LoveMeOrHateMe; 10-29-2012 at 01:27 AM.

Wilt wouldn't either but he continues to be overrated Originally Posted by b@llhog24
Five rounds went by in the 2000 draft... After 198 other players had been chosen, the Patriots drafted him in the sixth round.
Owner Robert Kraft recalls the night he was leaving the old Foxboro Stadium when he saw "this skinny beanpole" carrying a pizza. "He comes up and says, 'Mr. Kraft, I'm Tom Brady.' I said, 'I know who you are, you're our sixth-round draft choice from Michigan.' "And he looked me right in the eye and he said, 'and I'm the best decision this organization has ever made.' "

The media is the only reason. The media was not as big then as it is now. Also how many people here are old enough to say who is overrated or underrated when most here didn't live back then to judge?
