The Most Overrated Thing in Sports ...
... is saying who's over- or under-rated. Allen Iverson made an ESPN guy's all-overrated team last week, because while A.I.'s "almost universally considered among the top five or so players in the league," gee, he's maybe only top ten. C'mon. Everyone knows Iverson's undersized, isn't a defensive force, has been knocked for not passing enough, and just got snubbed for the Olympic team. So who's buying that "top five" characterization? More like he's top five for taking abuse. Also on the list: the Sixers' Kyle Korver. Again, who's been raving?
