Underrated or eyes over you?

It just came to my mind after i saw the reactions of other fans in forums or boards. In Bulls message board, someone mocked Dwight Howard about being clueless where he would play next year and he had written the surprise team would be Utah or Bucks. And after L.A match, the reactions on Enes Kanter and Burks made me think about it again. L.A fan had written that Burks is perfect shooter like Korver type and they gotta find a sharp shooter like him. And other L.A. fan had mentioned Kanter is a waste for 3rd pick due to his soft *** and bad defense, also black hole on offense.

So, even it irritates us, it is also a reality that jazz team is so underrated and general NBA fans have no idea about the team. So how does that effect the young fellas? Being unknown and getting snubbed all time? Because popularity is a result of being NBA player and it is also connecting to moral and motivation but also money of their new agreement with organizations.. If young fellas had played for big markets by the same minute numbers as New Jersey, New York or Chicago Bulls would they have become better players due to these issues or become even worse due to eyes over them?

The other approach is about the team. Being the x factor in playoffs is advantage or disadvantage? Does that make the team insecure while playing against favourite team or encourage to increase your capacity? You prefer a team to play against well known by all NBA but not in good situation or a team underrated, inconsistent but might hurt you? Boston or Bucks in the east example? or Clippers or Houston in the west? Just wondering what you think .
 
To be fair Illyasova I hardly know anything about other teams. I know who some of their players are but I cannot tell you much about them.
 
Yea it is also about interest but ignorance and bias are results of being underrated too. So even you do not know specifically about the team or players but labeling them easily as bad that is just being underrated. So if a player is playing for suns, he is soft, for bucks trash, for Utah foul prone etc. I mean these.
 
oh i agree it was just to point out that some of the comments are in ignorance. Utah has always been under rated and personally I like that. I want them to be stunned when the Jazz come to town and beat them in their own house. I want them to be upset. It widdens my smile.
 
What amazes me is how often people mispronounce Burks' and Hayward's names. Even national commentators often have no clue about the team they're discussing. This has happened at least three times lately: Hayward's chase-down block ("this is the first and last time he well do that"), Hayward makes another chase-down block ("what a play by the rookie"), and in the same game Favors is on the Golden State Warriors. If you do this for a living you should at least know this crap, but they don't. It's pathetic!
 
Sometimes iam just thinking Jeremy Lin of Knicks under the Jazz jersey. Just imagine the atmosphere in the whole NBA now and compare it with him being in jazz. For the players part, being underrated must be really tough and full of disadvantage. How much money will he earn with the new agreement now and divide the amount half with the jazz. The label does not just cover your personality and character but also the money you will get.

It made me laugh when they called Hayward a rookie.
 
I actually really like that the Jazz are consistently overlooked. We're always a surprise to other teams, it makes our guys work even harder, and it keeps our guys level headed.
