10. Devin Harris: A lot of people have been criticizing Mark Cuban for trading Harris away, but, last I checked, Jason Kidd and the rest of the Mavericks were on their way to the playoffs. The same can't be said for Devin Harris and the Nets. In fact, since the trade, Kidd has improved his situation while Harris has clearly worsened his (wasn't he on the best team in the league two seasons ago?). Really, this season, Harris has accomplished less than an aging Jason Kidd. That's pretty pathetic, if you ask me. On top of that, he's injured, and that doesn't help anybody.
9. Tim Duncan: First of all, the Spurs haven't really suffered during the time Duncan has been injured. Secondly, has anyone seen a Duncan highlight all season? I don't think so. The man just isn't as important as he used to be. The Spurs are Ginobili's team now.
8. Mo Williams: I find it absolutely amazing just how many people think Mo Williams helped the Cavaliers become the best team in the league. Has he even gotten a single triple-double this season? No. LeBron James has had about 60. The thing is, the same people who compliment Williams's contributions also say things like, "LeBron does everything for his team." Well, guess what, dumb****: If LeBron's doing everything, then Mo Williams is doing NOTHING! I'm just glad he hasn't gotten in the King's way too much.
7. Yao Ming: If Yao Ming was two feet shorter, he would be the worst player in the league. Yet people are still calling him "talented" and other stupid **** of the sort. It's pathetic. Get over him! He's less coordinated than fat people! Some people think that he's showing how consistent he is now that Tracy McGrady's absent, but, I assure you, his team would be doing just about as well without him (thanks to Mr. Ron Artest, who's a total badass).
6. Chauncey Billups: His presence didn't save the Nuggets. Allen Iverson's absence did.
5. Kevin Garnett: What happened to this guy? He was a beast until half-way through the season, when he suddenly turned into Tracy McArenas. After acquiring what was described by just about everybody as a "minor knee injury", Garnett decided to sit out pretty much all of the rest of the season. I guess he thinks that he can pull the same crap Shaq did with Miami (being "injured" during the regular season, only to miraculously "recover" just in time for the playoffs) now that he's won a championship. This new-found attitude of his will not only cause the Celtics to lose their second seed, but it'll also ultimately destroy the team's chemistry. What a shame.
4. Chris Paul: He's listed as two inches shorter than he really is. So, he's not THAT amazing for his height. Seriously, get real. By the way, did anyone else notice how much worse the Hornets were while Tyson Chandler was absent from the team? I guess the "little" man isn't as important as his (slightly taller) center.
3. Kobe Bryant: Just like he has every season, Kobe is taking all the credit for his team's work. Pau Gasol has definitely been one of the best centers in the league all season, while Derek Fisher has been hitting crucial shot after crucial shot. Actually, just about every player on the Lakers has been playing at Kobe's level (seriously... his team is amazing). Still, he's the only one receiving any MVP consideration. How fair is that? ...Not very! (NEW COMIC)
2. Steve Nash: I know many long-time readers of this site will be thrown off by this, but I really think Steve Nash has taken a turn for the worse this season. Often described as an "on-the-floor coach", Steve Nash really hasn't done a good job since D'Antoni (his "off-the-floor" coach) left Phoenix. It's just that, while Terry Porter and Alvin Gentry have been criticized for being unable to get the team working well together, they both only coached the team for sections of this disappointing season. Steve Nash, on the other hand, has been coaching throughout. So, perhaps Suns fans need to stop pointing fingers at Steve Kerr, and, instead, take a moment to criticize another has-been named Steve. It pains me to say this, but maybe he didn't actually deserve his two MVP awards after all?
1. Dwyane Wade: Easily the most over-rated player in the league today. In fact, I've never seen a player receive as much undeserved credit since freaking Charles Barkley. Dwyane Wade is, essentially, a product of the media. If it wasn't for SportsCenter, no one would be paying any attention to him at all. Sure, he's a good player, but is he great? HECK NO. If he's great, then Kevin Durant is too, because Durant is also having solid individual performances despite his mediocre team (COMIC). Big whoop! Great players make their mediocre teammates good, just like good players make their terrible teammates mediocre (as Dwyane Wade has with the Miami Heat). Actually, in the majority of his games, Wade is nothing more than a decent chucker, somewhat reminiscent of Kobe Bryant from his post-Shaq/pre-Gasol days. His occasional good "all-around" performances have to come eventually, seeing as no one can possibly hog the ball as much as he does (he does know he's not a point-guard, right?). Really, he's no better than Allen Iverson, but he's being hailed as one of the best players to ever play the game...
