Most Overrated Athletes
A while back CBS came out with a short list of the most overrated athletes ...
5. Wilt Chamberlain
Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain was both a superstar and a celebrity, equally at home on the court and in front of the movie camera. And his numbers were just plain impressive — has anybody else scored 100 points in a single game, or averaged 50 points a game in one season? Anybody? No? We thought not.
2.Dennis Rodman
None of the crazy crap he pulled off the court factors in here. We're only talking about in-game reasons people are overrated here. And Dennis Rodman was very much that.
The numbers really don't support this, at first glance at least. He's the all-time rebound king, after all, and just as he says in that awful movie he did with Jean-Claude Van Damme, "defense wins the game." And since he has multiple rings (five, to be exact) what could possibly make him overrated?
