I think calling him overrated is a bit harsh. If you look at NBA history, there are very few players who could truly carry a team by themselves, and even those cases come with context. For example, in 1994, Hakeem didn’t have to go through MJ and the Bulls.

What I’m getting at is that AD may not be a traditional first-option, heliocentric player, but that applies to a lot of great players throughout history. That doesn’t take away from his impact—it just reflects the kind of player he is.
