If I think a guy is a 10/10 and YOU think they're a 9/10, then you underrate him, in my opinion, and I overrate him in yours. So that's exactly what I'm going to say. Why this is pushing people's buttons, I have no clue.
Now, in my sig, I have added the word "criminal" - THAT adds a little extremity to it. But, that's just because I now find this argument to be funny. I never would've guessed that the use of "underrated" in a conversation about a Mavs player on a Mavs message board would've started an argument. Honestly, I'm embarrassed for all of us.
It's 100% the energy and way in which the term is used, not the term itself.
Again I think there are two ways to use the term generally speaking:
1) I "underrate" DFS compared to you. This is true.
2) I "underrate" DFS relative to his natural range of ranking and evaluation. This is not true for me or @"ItsGoTime" as examples.
Hence I don't want to be labeled as someone who underrates DFS because I don't generally speaking. But at the same time, I get that I underrate him compared to you personally.
