I do not think for a second Neil was trying to say Bowen and Barry were the reason for San Antonio winning their titles, there are other far more recognised Fundamental players to attribute that to ... but More the first list indicates people who helped their team win, ie be better disproportionately more than their production stats indicated.

I would note, for example, that Biedrins is not on the "bad" list, nor Chris Bosh or Kevin Martin - despite playing on bad teams. Personally, I think it is a bit mean to have rookies on the Overrated list ...

Notice how the underrated players tend to play on good teams, while the overrated players play on bad teams.

Wins Shares by and large depends on how many games your team wins. PER should be used instead, thus you wont have Michael Jordan on this list (who posted a good PER of 20.8 in 2002).

They stand for Offensive and Defensive Win shares. They're advanced metrics used to determined how valuable an individual player is to his teams outcome...The overall team ability does tend to dictate an individuals success in these statistical categories so in some ways they can be misleading, but they do give a good indicator how important each player is within their own team concept...

Doesn't surprise me that a lot of those overrated players are ones who are also sometimes considered selfish and 'ballhogs' (Isiah Rider, Ricky Davis, A. Walker, Iverson).

Interesting to see 2009 Dampier on that first list. Usually I only hear his name when it precedes the phrase "a waste of space."
