IMO,

Overachievers:
- Erick Dampier
- Stephen Jackson
- Kirilenko
- UTAH
- Carlos Loozer
- Shawn Kemp (he eats more then anyone here can)

Underachievers:
- Gary Payton (during postseason)
- Derrick Coleman (since '95-'96)
- Kwame Brown (he's soft)
- Shareef Abdur-Rahim
- Stephon Marbury ((against Kidd) in the playoffs)

Easy, they were tanking and trying to get a lotto pick. Besides Ricky Davis, nobody was good on that team for the last 1-2 months.

Look at this roster of fine players.

Isiah Rider
Rasheed Wallace
Damon Stoudamire
Arvydas Sabonis
Brian Grant
Walt Williams
Jim Jackson
Greg Anthony
Stacey Augmon
Bonzi Wells
Jermaine O'Neal
...

First place in the pacific. This is where the underachieving started. Damn Sean Elliot!

Ummm.... Pistons cant be overachievers cause at the start of the season...they didnt have Sheed- so u cant classify them as underachievers if you compare their title to our prediction before they aqccuired Wallace!

Utah arent overachievers. If they were- Grizzlies would have been too!

The Lakers arent over/under achievers at all...they were supposed to make the Finals...they did that.

Kobe...in terms of career...we'll need to wait and see!

The 2000 Blazers were underachievers FO SHO!

Spare me. Almost all of us had predicted them to win it all.

Almost all of us had said it's a sure win after they beat the Wolves. They underachieved, why in heavens name is it so hard for you to just admit they sucked? :roll:

I am glad he left because now I can be a Lakers fan AND a Heat fan. I'll just try to forget what selfish bastards they both are.
