By that logic (I'm perfectly fine using it) you would have to look at all those players playing to their full potential. If you put Derrick Rose in a more efficient system (or even Del Negro's previous one) he puts up upward of 25 and 7 while being a lot more efficient from the field (check out his numbers the second half of the 2009-2010 season). Chris Paul and Deron Williams both played at their full potential in the playoffs the past two years (Paul in '11 and Williams in '10) and their numbers were comparable to LeBron's numbers when he played to his full potential ('10 playoffs) and you can argue Chris Paul was better. I also believe we have yet to see Durant reach his full potential and most would believe that him and LeBron bring the same value to the table (LeBron provides more on Defense but Durant provides more offensively). I have no problem removing Howard from the list though.

I believe Chris Paul and Deron Williams are two of the most underrated players in basketball simply because they don't exert themselves from a statistical standpoint as the other top players in the league do. Players like Kobe, LeBron, Wade, and Rose go out there attempting to put up great numbers (not a knock on them;that's their role on their teams) while these point guards are more concerned with running an efficient offense. If you look at it from a skills and efficiency standpoint CP3 and D. Will are clearly two of the top players in basketball (especially if you take their recent playoff performances into account) and I believe they trump Dwyane Wade, who really struggles when he plays elite defenses (check his numbers against Boston, San Antonio, and Chicago).

Glad to know people aren't falling into the Westbrook hype.

I said Curry was arguably a top 5 point guard. He runs a very efficient offense (6th in the league last year I believe) and is himself a very efficient player (made a bid at 50, 40, 90 last year). To me he is probably behind Nash and maybe Kidd for the 5th spot (Paul, Williams, Rose, Rondo). However to the original point he is clearly a better point guard than Russell Westbrook and John Wall.

Concerning Monta I didn't say he was even with Wade or Kobe just that he was too far behind them. The fact that you believe his offensive skills are on par with theirs (a fair assessment) should warrant him being less than 11 points behind Kobe and 13 points behind Wade. I would say at this point in his career Kobe doesn't offer a lot more (their numbers were close to identical if you factor in Kobe shooting a little bit more and getting more calls) but they are both behind Wade in the shooting guard conversation.

I don't like Miami. Doesn't take away from the fact that LeBron and Wade are overrated and their offense was atrocious throughout the playoffs.

Could you edit players ratings yourself in NBA 2k11 ? This is really ridiculous, how can a player like Lowry who improved his 3pt shooting, ppg and turning into a clutch shooter drop from 81 to 76 ?? Where's the logic ? 2k is really dropping the ball with these ratings.

no not really. Up there, yes but he isn't even close to be as clutch as Melo and aint close to offense as Melo. He wins Melo in defense tho, but thats pretty much it.

And why is Toney Douglas only 69? 2k insider is wack

[NYdreams]

i dont understand how gallinari is only a 67 .... thats wrong... they need to fix .. he should be atleast a 75

Point proven.

Most people that don't like Miami will say outlandish things out of their disdain for the Heat. I can see someone saying LeBron is overrated (not that I agree), but Wade?

Playoffs
Wade - 24.5ppg at FG 49%
Bron - 23.7ppg at FG 47%
Dirk - 27.7ppg at FG 49%
Kobe - 22.8ppg at FG 45%

So Wade averaging about 3 less points than Dirk equates to him being overrated and having an atrocious playoff performance?

If that's the case, I'll sell my unicorn when the season starts on time.

98 is to high for Lebron and 96 is to high for Wade. Their both gonna have ratings that are to high. 2k has overrated them.
