Nobody ever said his athleticism was overrated. This is game 1 of a first round series which was padded by hometown refs. I'm not even in the camp that does believe he's overrated, he does quite a bit with little to no help. That trade actually made them worse. But I can see where haters are coming from. He rarely produces in crunch time but that appears to be changing. You can't honestly rip a guy that's already been to a Finals, but he could be so much better somewhere else.
He rarely produces in crunch time? You're kidding, right?
Haha, no. Were you unfrozen from a cave before the start of this season? He was the biggest choker in the league until recently. I noted that the recent trend has that changing, as long as it keeps up.
I think he (and some others) are so surprised by that statement because they have in their heads the memory of that insane game against the Pistons last year in the playoffs.. and you are likely thinking of other games when you call him a choker...

Actually last season I noticed a few games when he dominated the Pistons down the stretch. I swear I saw that. Could be wrong, though.
