There are some super underrated legends of the game from back in the day. Nique, Jermaine O’Neal, Dennis Johnson, Bernard King, just to name a few.
Who, out of the players active today that are considered superstars (or were at one point), do you think will be mostly forgotten about and underrated for future generations?
I used to have this discussion with my roommate and he always said James Harden, which I thought was a good pick but I figured he’d have a chip by now and I always thought “The Beard” was a memorable… gimmick? Idk. My pick was always Paul George, but now I think he was spot on with James Harden.
I don’t know if he was ever considered a superstar but it seems Joe Johnson has already been quickly forgotten about. Same with Deron Williams, although I wouldn’t count them since they aren’t active anymore.
Who’s your pick?
Active players? Zion will be a blip. I hardly remember he still plays, right now.
Morant will be forgotten as well. Some highlights will show up, but his career will be less then Reggie Miller, and people already forget about him. He will be an old man remembering his athleticism, trying to compete in REC with White Chocolate, but being cooked.
Nahh, Kids love Ja, he is gonna be remembered for quite some time. Insane highlight package too.
Dominique was literally called “The Human Highlight Film”.
