Phil Jackson Overrated?

He's a good coach who inherited great players.  He's a great manager of superstars.  He does a good job of motivating players and getting them to play together through distractions.\n\nI don't think he could coach a team like a Charlotte or Toronto and take them to a championship.\n\nPersonally, I think someone like Larry Brown, who has won on the college and pro level, with a lot less talent than Phil Jackson had, is a much better coach.

Its because of the inconsistency of everyone on the team except for Kobe.  Lamar Odom is definitely not playing up to his potential and neither is Kwame Brown.  Smush Parker is not a good starter but would be great, i mean great, off the bench.  People like Luke Walton need to start shooting more and making the unnecessary, extra pass.  Jackson should use people like Bynum or Turiaf who actually want to play and contribute to the team whether or not they are rookies.  The Lakers need energy and so far, the only person I see with that is Kobe.  \nBy the way, Go Lakers against the Pistons and the Spurs!!!!

No, Shortdog. He played for Chicago, Portland and Houston before he crapped out completely.  One of the most overrated players in NBA history next to Charles Barkley.

OMG...no he is not overrated.  He's still a kid.  Yet he is one of the best kid's playing today.  I try to catch as many Real Madrid games as I can on TV.  Robinho is magical with his feet.  Very fun to watch.  In given time, he'll be mentioned as one of the best players in the world.  Wait and watch.

He reminds me of carmelo for sum reason but carmelo was over hyped over rated as hell . Sumwhere between 10-16 points a game depending on the team he lands in. A team that is more offsense that D. where they need a scorer, but this kid has a future. he has dat will to win. I said he reminds me of carmelo ppeople say he reminds them of larry bird  but in reality could be more like reggie. lol but i hate comparasons. Im sure hell be a good player. He wont be anythign jsut morrison. that dudes grimmie as fu** with that mustche lol

I don’t listen to his music, so I can’t say much about that, but from what I’ve heard he is grossly overpaid for what he does.  Then again, many entertainers are overpaid, so that doesn’t really make him much different from any one of them.

No question the Pistons were overrated big time.  People just like to jump on bandwagons.\n\nBut dude I have to ask, what is with the name?

Beckham is the most overrated player in football. Rio is piss poor.Crouch is the sorriest excuse for a football player i have ever seen,rooney is a thug,Owen is past it,Lennon is an unknown,the coles are average,Robinson is ok,Carragher isnt england class,gerrard,lampard,terry and rooney are the only players who i rate.

He is totally overrated. Sure he is not that bad, but I don't think he deserves to be Captain. Gerrard would be a better captain. Just because he married an ex-spice girl doesn't make him good at football!

No, since Crosby is the most overrated and overhyped player in the NHL.

Maybe a lil overrated, but the man has business skills.\nAnd ya gotta respect that.  I do like most of his stuff...\nbut not all of it.  Just depends...

Hell NO!  He was the sidekick to Shaq to win all of those rings, and he hasn't done anything without him.  He is a ballhog and doesn't make his teammates better.  MJ did all of those things and did win with only Pipen as a decent player.  I would say that Shaq is closer to MJ than Kobe, and that is not even close.

Just an entertainer. Vick is way overrated just because a few flashy runs make the highlight reels. He's not a good QB; in fact that is part of the reason the Falcons do not win.

YES. Most of today's retarded NBA fans will tell you Iverson is the greatest, but the Sixers are going nowhere with him. He's a cancer for whomever he plays with and a total ballhog who never gives anyone else a chance. I really think the Sixers could be a great team without him. Iverson is flashy, but in a team game, he is terrible. I was impressed with him during the Olympics, until I realized his terrible approach to playing basketball may have well sunk the team.\n\nOther overrated players include Lebron James, KG and Kobe. Most of today's stupid NBA fans think the world of them, but real fans know better.

I think the better question is who cares anymore?\n\nLebron (King) James doesn't need a contest outside of the game to show he can dunk. \n\nAnymore it is just overrated.

Of course it's not Kobe Bryant...It would be Nash or Marion for MVP honors...Kobe didn't bring the Lakers to the playoffs.Phil Jackson is the difference this year. Because Phil Jackson entered the Lakers team that's why the team made it back to the playoffs. He scored 81 and 60+ because he hogged the ball for 40+ minutes and taking not less than 40 shots...Come on,is that a team player? of course not. MVP is all about bringing the team to the top not bringing oneself up...Nash and Marion did that without Amare this year.That's why the choice is one of them...

All of them are overrated (and overpaid).  It's sports!
