Most overrated things in the U.S

7. LeBron James
It's hard to argue with career averages of 27.8 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game, making James a constant triple-double threat in the NBA. The Cleveland Cavaliers star earned $15.7 million in his last season with his home team, and starting July 1 he can bargain with other teams as a free agent. The NBA salary cap sets limits on how much teams can pay, so Cleveland can offer him about $126 million for six years, which is about $30 million more than the New York Knicks or any other team can offer him.

At 25, James is in the prime of his career. But is he worth $126 million for six years, or whatever figure is thrown at him, excluding endorsements? Whether or not you agree that James hasn't been provided a starting cast of teammates to get his team to an NBA championship, the fact is he hasn't won a championship in Cleveland. It's unlikely he will in New York or Chicago, two top suitors, unless the teams can get at least one high-level player to help him on the court.

The Bleacher Report makes the case that while James is one of the best athletes ever to play in the NBA, he's overrated because he takes 20 to 30 shots a game, mostly drives into the lane to get fouled, and his great body gives him an advantage that other top players never had and thus had to use more diverse options of the game to score. James is a fantastic player to watch, but until he starts winning championships like Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant, he's overrated. One thing James has on his side is it will be three years before he turns 28, the age when Jordan won his first championship.
