underrated: q rich- leadership quality and overall demeanor makes him a true professional and valuable teammate who doesn't get the credit he deserves.

overrated: curry- i like him and he is a good low post scorer but ten or fifteen years ago he would have been an average center. he has the same states as rony seikley which isn't flattering.

Good post. I'm hoping Q's operation works out well for him. A healthy Q who not only could play every night, but who could play without pain would be huge for the Knicks.

Are we talking only current knicks? If so:

Overrated: Q. The guy is a leader? He doesn't even speak to the media. He can't stay healthy. He has lapses on defense resulting in 3pters. He kicked the scorers table once and had a fight with marbs so he is a leader? I don't buy it.

Underrated: nate. I think the little bastard has a willingness, to show he belongs and can be an impact player. He's imature but I think he maybe growing up in year 3. Headaches aside he is a very good player skill wise. His ahooting numbers are awesome for his stature

TMS's answer was a great one... but nontheless, I'll try my hand. I think most of the team is overrated, but there's some standouts.

Overrated: Eddy Curry/Stephon Marbury (tie) Both players are not top 50 NBA players. Period.
Underrated: Lee and Balkman may be the most underrated around the league... but among Knicks fans they're not. With that, I'll have to choose Quentin Richardson.

Overrated: Lee, Balkman. I'm a huge Balkman fan but he is a defensive specialist with a handle but can he please learn to shoot? Lee needs to defend and shoot high % and become the real deal.

Underrated: Crawford. He is streaky but other than that, the dude is good. He even improved his defense over the last two years. A little more discipline when shooting and he is pure gold.

We don't need them to be Scottie and MJ.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Wow, what a statement (do you actually have a point before you post?). If the criteria is to be a .500 team, I agree. It's just sad that people on this board actually think they're better than they are. Both players are garbage in many senses of the word.

He meant top 50 current players, not top 50 in the history of the game. (If you already understood that point, then I don't understand your post.)

How can Marbury/Curry/Crawford be over rated when they are bashed 365 days a year on these boards?

Underrated: Crawford
Overrated: Balkman

Maybe the fact that thier bashed 365 days a year should tell you something. Dedicated to the end huh?

I love Crawford and what he has to offer, but he hasn't reached his potential, and he seems to have a plateau career. He makes a lot of mistakes. And NO, Crawford hardly ever gets "Bashed" on this board, except by MS and maybe a couple of others.

True, he hardly gets bashed, but I think the lack of being bashed has sided because of some of the great shots he's taken (game winners) that made up for some of his mistakes. This leads to another question I have, based on this is. 'How many games did he lose, directly responsible because his mistakes? I can't think of one.

Good example of knowing when your good and when your not.

I noticed that there is a big difference here when talking who the best Knicks are. It seems a lot of people talk about who the best is, but do not facter (compare) them to the entire league. Talk about one's own little world. This is what sets realists and deniers apart.

How many games did he shoot us out of? It has to be many considering we had a bad record, he has a horrible FG% and takes a good portion of the shots.
