In the NBA the top 5 over rated or liable players to have on your team are...(in no particular order)
1. Carmelo Anthony
2. Russell Westbrook
3. Monta Ellis
4. Kevin Martin
5. DeMarcus Cousins
Carmelo Anthony, a selfish player who shoots the ball way too much. He is 99th in the league for field goal % and 12th in attempts. All this proves is that he is player who thinks he can take over a game when he really can't. He was supposed to be a blockbuster trade this year when he headed to the Knickerbockers, but their record certainly show that he is not capable of carrying a team, even when he has another all-star in Amare Stoudamire. I wouldn't want him, and I'm thinking that the Knicks GM is also considering the same thing.
Keven Martin and Monta Ellis are almost in the same category as Carmelo with the exception that both of them are those players on the "verge" of being elite. They shoot the ball way too much, often streaky, and play 0 defense. Result: Both play on very average teams, and are not those players who can take their team to the next level. They are players who think they are all-stars when all they really are exceptional role players. "But they are top 25 in scoring!?!?" Well, they are also barely in the top 100 in FG%, and top 15 in attempts. PASS THE FUCKING BALL AND QUIT SHOOTING SO MUCH.
Russell Westbrook is suffering from superiority complex syndrome. Granted, yes, he is a very good point guard who is very capable and to me seems like a young Allen Iverson. His downfall? He thinks he is number one when really he is the Thunders number 2. He will forever live and die in the shadow of Oklahoma City's main man, Kevin Durant. Until Westbrook accepts that, he will be a cancer to the the Thunder for the fact that he often tries to take over too much when he really should be giving it to the Durantula.
DeMarcus Cousins is someone I believe that can outshine the likes of Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, and LeMarcus Aldridge. Averaging 15 ppg, 12 rpg, and 1.5 bpg. Maybe those stats don't quite meet the other three's stats, Cousins is only a sophomore. He is averaging more blocks and rebounds than sophomore Blake Griffin. His problem is that mother fucker think he is playing basketball in prison. The man leads the league in fouls, and is like 3rd or 4th in technicals. He just has no regard for anyone's safety in the paint, which don't get me wrong...I love aggression and physical play in the NBA, but good lord have some sort of defensive awareness.
Aright so I got carried away with the NBA players, but their in season right now so I figured they deserved a bit more of the spot light. Some other names in sports that I would argue have these problems are...(again in no order).
NFL:
1. Tony Romo - good but very inconsistent
2. Santonio Holmes - Thinks he is Calvin Johnson
3. Philadelphia Eagles - Andy Reid's faith in mobile QB's
4. Mark Sanchez - for some reason people think he is good? I am honestly still confused by this cause he fucking sucks.
5. James Harrison/Phillip Rivers/Edelman (that white db for the pats?) - guys who talk countless amounts of shit and often get fined, get burnt play after play, or just kind of suck when things get important.
6. Tim Tebow - for all the bible thumpers, girls who think he is good cause he's "hot", people who are big band wagon people, and ignorant people who think it's cool to "Tebow", let's get this straight...he fucking sucks. He can't throw, and he won a playoff game that he would lose 99 out of 100 times, and now with the loss of their defensive coordinator he is going to do about as well as JaMarcus Russell did for the Raiders.
Soccer:
1. Peter Crouch - Could be a force in the air, but prefers to play grab ass with every guy in the box instead.
2. Johnny Evans - a young kid who thinks playing defense means injuring anyone that comes across his path.
3. Mario Balotelli - Someone with enormous talent, but chooses to be a retard and a little bitch both on and off the field, who still struggles putting his own penny's on.
4. Pinto - somehow the second string goalie for Barcelona...I mean if you can find a highlights of him doing good things...feel free to show me...
5. Neymar - this is a bit of stretch...and I can understand how people disagree, but until he gets into a bigger league..he just looks like the next Robinho or Ricardo Quaresma...a very flashy player who never lived up to the hype.
and finally...
MLB: Ever since Ken Griffey jr. and Kenny Lofton left the game...I honestly couldn't give a shit who plays for what team, or who is capable of what.
