So because he’s never been named one of the top 2 defenders at Forward, he’s underrated?

Considering he has been one of the top 2 defensive players at forward for at least 3 years now, I think that is precisely why he is “underrated”

That's just a shameful statement.

Battier is overrated as a defender

HTD, please turn in your Rockets-fan-ID at the front desk.
That’s just a shameful statement.

Teams run him off the court? Do you ever watch Yao play, if they ran him off the court he would be useless as a player and wouldn’t put up the numbers that he does.

I’ve watch Steve Nash run circles around him the last 5 years, Now I will watch CP3 do it for the next 10.

Vince Carter average 21 points and 5 assist a game last season, you're telling me that he played hard too? He gets his 'stats' because he's a skilled basketball player. T-Mac gets his 'stats' because he, also, is an all-star NBA player. It's a fact, that even though T-Mac had great 'stats in the playoffs, he scored very little points in the fourth quarter of those games. It's also a fact that even though Yao averages 22-11, he's not the most conditioned athlete on the team.
