Outside his famous glide dunk and one or two posters, which are very good, he did nothing for me. Just don't like his style. Am I allowed?

You don't like it, sure. It's a preference thing, I get it. That's different to me than calling something definitively overrated. Semantics? Maybe. But to me they're different. I don't care for Durant's game, with all the soft free-throw boost calls but I wouldn't call him overrated.

I'm kind of the same way. Dr. J got me into basketball as a young kid, but his jumper was ugly as hell, and his ball-handling wasn't too aesthetic either. Some of his dunks and moves obviously are legendary.

Drexler had some nice dunks but I didn't care much for his "head down" drive or his jump shot from an aesthetic standpoint.

"Havlicek steals it!"

Maybe the call was legendary, but the execution of that pass was incredibly bad.

I've seen clips of this when it shows a wider angle and you see more of the play. Walker was just standing there. He wasn't even moving, he was just waiting for Greer's pass to come to him. It was much more of a case of absolutely dreadful execution on Philly's part than some amazing play by Hondo
