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?
I realize this reinforces your point, but who tf is talking about Bow Wow in any capacity these days?
Well moreso about 3 years ago I remember he was being laughed at and clowned a lot. Like basically people looked at him like “he’s such a clown, he thinks he’s so cool”. But I mean when I was a kid… he literally was the guy girls drooled over. My point being… today’s superstar and heartthrob can be tomorrow’s loser
