PG: Jason Kidd -Jason Kidd is one of the most overrated players in the NBA and has been overrated in terms of his career as well.

When the New Jersey Nets had traded Jason Kidd to the Dallas Mavericks, the Mavericks thought all of there problems would be solved, they were completely WRONG. Jason Kidd was not a type of player that would fit in with Avery Johnson's system nor would he fit into a team like Dallas.

One of the problems with Jason Kidd is the fact that he's a complete liability on the half-court game. He can't create his own shot and every team knows for a fact that he can't shoot for jack. They say Kidd is probably one of the greatest PG's of all-time, and that is an insult to guys like Kevin Johnson, Magic Johnson and John Stockton. Jason Kidd is a fantastic player and a future HOF, but not one of the greatest PG's of all-time.

Jason Kidd is a very versatile player but it seems like in order for him to succeed he needs to be a team like the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors and all the run and gun teams. Jason Kidd cannot play in a team with a  half court system. That is the exact reason why he and the Nets failed when Vince Carter arrived and with Lawrence Frank as the coach.

SG: Allen Iverson -
