Nonetheless, I´ll throw a name out there: John McEnroe. Yes, he was a great player and accomplished some great things. But the level of hype and praise he has received outweighs what he actually accomplished. He gets praised much more than Lendl or Jimmy Connors, but you could make a strong case for either player having achieved more in their careers than Mac (singles careers, at least. I´ll give Mac some credit for what he did with doubles)

I disagree. Short-lived brilliance is still brilliance. Granted I wasn't alive when he was playing, but from what I've seen of his game, it seems he played a really unique version of tennis which was both extremely effective and very stylish. But yeah, maybe the years after his couple of years of brilliance detract from his career...
