Sidney Crosby - called "the next great one" and the "face of the NHL" but he isn't even the best player on his own team and mustered a measley 2 points in the 7-game Cup finals last year.

Joe Namath just doesn't stand up to historical scrutiny. I don't care if my dad's generation thought he was cool.

Ripken is the ultimate in overrated. Hefty Mickelson is a good pick as well. Also Emmit Smith.

^yes, yes, yes. I have never wholeheartedly agreed more often in a threak.

everybody glazed over my mention of Ali. Thoughts? never got what made him such a hero.

and while he cannot be overrated as a player, MJ cannot be underrated as a human.

Are you joking? He was the best all around baseball player for about a decade. Only Ted Williams was a better hitter. I think people are suggesting that certain records people hold may be overrated, hence all the Cal bashing. Joe DiMaggio was incredible. Now if you want to say someone like Sandy Koufax....well then maybe.

You are as ridiculous as Edinatlanta.

FWIW, DiMaggio was not overrated either.
