there is only 1 answer to this question

MICHEAL JORDEN

this piece of selfish shit never gave back to anything to his people

this shit was blessed to put a ball through a round metal hoop and make millioins

where was he during the hurricane. this chump doesnt do anything. why does it take white musicians to help the poor black african nations. this shit never stands up for nothing. the ncaap should blast him for doing nothing.

Coach K

The media thinks he's God...and Coach K will not disagree.

Does like to visit Vegas, though.

Paterno is not overrated...do I have to list his zillions of accomplishments over the last 50 years?

I'll agree with you the Lions have been subpar in the Big 10. I wouldn't say Joe is overrated though. He's one of the greatest coaches of all time bar none.

Danica Patrick-competitive machine but has done nothing with it.
Derek Jeter-overpaid, overrated and way too pampered; even the NY media won't slam him. A damn good player but not on the level of A-Rod, Bonds, etc.
Tony LaRussa-can't manage anything but a powerhouse team and has a horrendous (5-12) WS record. If he's a genuis then Stu Feiner is a handicapper.
Bill Parcells-still riding two SB wins, one with a team that couldn't lose. Show up, have a great year then leave when things get tough is his act; all mouth and no action.

What does Kobe, Tiger Woods, etc. give back to "his people"?

Many people don't care about Jordan's views on world hunger, or other controversial views. Seems to work for Tiger Woods too.

I'll add Mike Sherman. How he got a contract extension is beyond me.


Before I forget, the great Pat Riley.

michael jordan is a lot of things. overrated is not one of them. is he selfish? maybe off the court. i have heard stories that he never tipped cab drivers and waiters in chicago...dont know if thats true or not. the media was never critical of him in chicago...i'll give you that. but, overrated? no way. not in a million years.

he was the best ever. he won six titles...the first three with the entire team on his back. he was a scoring machine, a tenacious defender, the most clutch player i have ever seen and had a desire to win the overcame even his talent.

a selfish, uncaring man...maybe. but, overrated? you have got to be kidding.

Blue,


Micheal Jordan was overrated as an athlete, not a basektball player, guy is a passionate golfer and still sucks at it, also could not hit 230 in low level minor leauge baseball. Ill take Danny Ainge over him as a shooter and an overall athlete. Danny Ainge MUCH better GOLFER, BASEBALL player and SHOOTER than Jordan.
