Shane Battier, Rockets Battier is as consistent as winter rain in the Northwest — if by consistent you mean consistently mediocre. Despite playing nearly 37 minutes per game, he averaged only nine points and five rebounds last season.

I found it! I found it! Someone made the worst list of all time!
Published 8/17/2008 by UofTOrange (noreply@blogger.com) at The Dream Shake
I can't see who picked this list, but it is unequivocally the worst list I have ever seen. There are 5 people on this list, there are 5 people on this list that are actually UNDERRATED and not overrated as it tries to claim. I don't understand how anyone can be this big of an idiot. ...

Floor Burns - Round 3 - Battier still alive!

Introducing the most overrated 'overrated list' of all-time ...

According to FoxSports.com, the top five overrated players in the league are: Wade, Robert Horry, Yao, Marion and Shane Battier. My favorite explanation: "...

He doesn't make his team worse, it's just that the Rockets continued to improve during his absence." You know, sub LeBron and Kobe in for Horry and Shane and this list is dead on. Wow.
