Today First Take posed the questionwhich player is more overrated Reggie Bush or Lebron James?
The impetus for this question came from Reggie Bush's trade today to the Dolphins
The Duck Nuts have their own thoughts on this issue and wanted to share them
Chris: First off Reggie Bush to the Dolphins is a horrible fit. Under Tony Sparano they've been a power running, punch you in the face and take no shit kind of team.
Now to this bogus question that showcases First Take's inability to come up with good questions. This isn't even a debate. Reggie Bush was supposed to be the next O.J. Simpson and he can't even become the starter. Lebron has 2 MVP's.
Alex: You, like that dumb woman, don't understand the question. It's not who was more overrated going into their respective leagues, it's RIGHT NOW who is a more overrated player? NOBODY considers Bush to be a quality running back, MANY PEOPLE consider LeBron to be the best basketball player ever. Bush is not overrated at all, LeBron is incredibly overrated.
Chris: Skip Bayless is the king of idiots and and always will be. Jemele Hill was right in this case.
If the question is framed like you say it is, they why is this even a intriguing question. Jemele Hill handled this question so well because it is so obvious but she was attacked by 2 guys with faulty logic and I would have gone off the deep end.
But if you want me to "understand" the question I'd say this Reggie Bush is still showing he's overrated because a team actually decided to trade for him and see if they could unlock his immense potential and become the starter for them.
Alex: Skip Bayless is an idiot who gives Cowherd a run for his money. But here he is right. Even the impartial host sees the stupidity in Hill's case.
And we don't even know what his trade value is. He isn't worth more than a second round pick because everyone already knows he is a bust.
But he still isn't as big of a disappointment as LeBron. Nobody was giving Bush the "Chosen One" title and nobody expected him to take over the league. Yes he did bust, but nobody has crumbled to pressure of great expectations like LeBron.
NOBODY
Chris: Ok look at your own words
Nobody expected Bush to take over the league. 1st off yes they did after his last year at USC experts thought he would revolutionize the position.
Secondly, everyone expected Lebron to take over the league and HE DID. Yea choke on your own words.
Alex: WHAT!? LeBron took over the league!? Okay, now I know you're joking. It's hard to take over anything when you don't have a single ring. Not one. Last time I checked, Reggie does. I might have to go make a page "Silly LeBron, rings are for Reggie".
Chris: Lebron is the consensus best player in the game
--Lebron had 2 consecutive MVP's
--2nd best court vision in the history of the NBA behind Magic
--1st forward in NBA history to average more than 8.0 assists per game
--Most athletically gifted freak in the NBA's history
--Most unstoppable force going to the hole ever
--Only player in NBA history to average at least 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists for their career
--One of three players in NBA history to average at least 30 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in a season
need I say more!
Alex: I'll take rings. If you want to look at numbers, Wilt is the best player ever. LeBron got most of those numbers for a team whose offense was "give LeBron the ball and hope something good happens".
Chris: Oh and are you realllllllllly going to count Reggie Bush's ring as legit
Thats like congratulating Luke Walton or D.J. Mbenga for his rings
Come on Alex you should know better.
Alex: Silly LeBron, rings are for Adam Morrison
