What is with all the overrated PG questions tonight?

There have been a ton of questions about overrated PGs.

If Paul, Rondo and Rose are underrated, then who is overrated? There has to be players that are much better then these guys that no one talks about. D-Will and Nash get plenty of love. Westbrook is getting talk these days. Maybe Jason Kidd is still in the class of these guys and is underrated a bit. Still, These guys are clearly elite players and can not be overrated.

Update:

Should have said: if those 3 guys are overrated, who do we underrate.

Update 2:

@Troll- So, what makes up differ from one and other when it comes to thinking that our opinion is the right one? Oh, that is right I am not blinded my my favorite team. I do not say they are going to win every game, or they are a lock to win the championship. I also have been watching baskball longer then you have been in big boy pants. I do not post things just to be a buttole. It is all good becuase without you this board would be less interesting!

    We have so much access in this day and age that we can read tons of stories from different websites and then see numerous segments on various tv channels about basketball. The media doesn't all want to say the same thing so when one guy describes a player as good the next guy has to call him great and the next guy has to call him the best and things start to escalate from there.

    We also have very short memories and attention spans these days and so we tend to forget what people did before. If any point guard put up the sort of statistics that John Stockton had from 1988 - 1997 for even one season he would start to be talked about as one of the all time greats.

    A lot of these guys are overrated because there are a lot of good point guards who are young and we just went through a long period of time where point guard play definitely was lacking (Kidd Nash and some others were good but overall there are more better PGs now) it gets boring just comparing guys to each other or waiting and seeing who wins championships before we crown a guy therefore everybody argues that their guy is underrated and that everyone else is overrated in attempt to argue that their guy is the best.
