Most overrated athlete.

I was reading in the paper and saw something like this, they had asked some local coaches a few questions. One of the questions was: Who do you think is the most overrated athlete?

So I was wondering, who do you think is the most overrated athlete?

For me it would probably be Lebron James.. Seriously, I hear about him all the time..>_>

Theres a reason why you hear about him, hes really that good.

Can't think of anyone in particular.

Michael Vick- with me living in Georgia there's lots of talk about him- but he's just meh.

Adam Dunn, in this neck of the woods. >_< He strikes out way too much.

Kobe Bryant.

I don't know why people think he's the greatest!

All athletes are over-rated

I want to be an athlete!

So you better get a better outlook on athletes!

Kobe and Vick those guys are amazing. They are definitely not the greatest but their rating is on par to their skill level. I do agree that all professional superstars are overrated on a general sense.

Beckham or however the soccer dudes name is spelled... $250 million a year? For a sport most Americans don't care about?

And also... PEYTON MANNING!!!!! $\:D/$ He is a good quarterback, but he is also the highest paid, by far... I don't think it evens out...

Of course no one will ever be as good as Boomer but that is to be expected.

In his later years playing for the Vikings, I would've gladly said Randy Moss.

Of course, I'm not following sports anymore, so I have no clue

I love the Colts! But, yes, I think Peyton Manning is overrated. He is a very good qb tho! $\:D/$

I like the Colts, I just think they pay too much for their players.

Peyton Manning was wonderful on Saturday Night Live, though! $\:D/$

Ah, yes, the price of perfection...

I don't think the skills and abilities of athletes are overrated...but I don't believe anyone anywhere deserves to be paid more than $12,000 for just one game of hockey or basketball or something of the sort. (That's based on a $1,000,000 a year salary).

Oh, and I add John Cena to the list.

Barry Bonds.

Most definately David Beckham! I mean, okay, yeah. He looks good, and can play soccer. So does my friend! Why doesn't he get paid $250 million a year?

Fenix · Post by **Fenix** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 8:30 pm

Yeah for sure Kornakova and Beckham.
