I don't know if these players know what overrated means, because Rudy was voted 2nd and how is he overrated if nobody actually likes and appreciates him😭
Trae Young was 3rd in voting

should be Sabonis
They just don’t like him.
He’s frail, obnoxious, and always Taunting when he plays well
He’s a advanced stat darling and he’s led his teams to great offenses these past 2 seasons

Predictable tbh, for a group of people who are obsessed with 1 on 1 play and having a bag
This is a guy that throws 50 potential assists on-target before he throws a bad pass
Gobert being here after his excellent performance last season is hilarious. This is just a list of guys players don’t like
Feel like some people can see Tyrese as “overrated” as he doesn’t put up the numbers you’d associate with a franchise player/star guard in this era. Though that wouldn’t be the right way to assess his game. Guy makes his teammates better, and his ability to make the right play/create advantages is huge.
They’re just upset they didn’t get a free gold medal like him
they just don’t like him. he’s personally annoying
Sounds like players just don’t like him, don’t think he’s overrated at all
It’s purely from scoring, I just don’t think players value passing or facilitating that much.
I think people look at it like, if you’re an all-nba, I want you to have the ball in your hands for the last shot every game. Hali is a bit of an inconsistent scorer by himself, so I think that’s probably what player see.
He also talks a lot, and I’m sure that rubs players the wrong way.
We’re talking about 13 votes in a 90 person sample. Hardly representative.
nba players are redditors
Tyrese Haliburton 14.4%
Rudy Gobert 10.0%
Trae Young 8.9%
Jimmy Butler 5.5%
Bradley Beal 4.4%
Draymond Green 4.4%
Ja Morant 4.4%
Julius Randle 4.4%
Joel Embiid 3.3%
Giannis Antetokounmpo 2.2%
Dillon Brooks 2.2%
Paul George 2.2%
Tyler Herro 2.2%
Jrue Holiday 2.2%
Jaren Jackson Jr. 2.2%
LeBron James 2.2%
Kyle Kuzma 2.2%
Domantas Sabonis 2.2%
Zion Williamson 2.2%
No one who reached the NBA is overrated 2.2%
+16 Hali shitting on his betters.
All players I wish were on my team
The real answer is JJJ, who is about to get a $40-50M a year contract extension. 3rd scoring option and can’t rebound despite the height.
Respect to the guys who voted *nobody who made it to the NBA is overrated*
I would assume it’s just a low hanging fruit since hes an allstar, allnba player that they don’t like because he talks trash too much lol
lol how could trae be overrated, people rate him so low
What?
No one rates Halliburton at all.
How is he overrated?
85 of those players were just Damian Lillard
Hali is basketball nerd and I love him for that. I wonder if gets angry, which voice does he use?
Gobert is a 4 time DPOY, is how one could qualify him as high enough to be overrated
Yeah I can’t lie, I don’t care how other players feel about Halliburton. That dude is the real fuckin deal.
Its really who’s most disliked. Halliburton is probably underrated and same with the other two. But he talks a lot of shit, Rudy is French, and Trey is kinda funny looking.
Can the Athletic do this for my workplace?
How can trae constantly get snubbed for all star yet he’s top 3 most overrated players
I don’t see how Trae can be overrated when he isn’t chosen for Team USA and only makes ASG’s as an injury replacement.
Draymond and it’s not even close
I really disagree, but I can see why he gets votes. In fact, I could probably make a case for every single player with at least 2% of the vote except Giannis. Who the hell thinks Giannis is overrated?
They’re pissed he got a gold medal lol
I don’t understand how Tatum made this list. There just must be a general dislike. Everybody can agree he’s not top 3. But come on, he’s averaging 26/8/6 as the clear bus driver of the Celtics.
This being the case, i think it’s fair to say Haliburton and Trae are two of the most underrated players in the league.
I feel like Haliburton has big impacts on games even when his stats aren’t good. But he also has games where he shoots 3-13 and it can be a big factor. But overall he’s very efficient and makes that offense work
Damn, Sabonis snubbed again.
On July 6, 2022, Gobert was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Patrick Beverley, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Leandro Bolmaro, and the draft rights to center Walker Kessler in addition to four first-round picks and a 2026 first-round pick swap.
So yes. Very overrated
Where is Bronny on the list?
For me, it’s probably Paul George.
He’s taking the mantle as Trae fades into play-in obscurity
He’s definitely a very difficult player to rank. Very good shooter and excellent passer. Terrible defensively. Without further context he sounds similar to Trae Young or LaMelo Ball. Doesn’t help that he tends to have pretty uneven seasons.
