Yeah, I was thinking more in terms of the definition of overrated, which is being praised or honored out of proportion to what one has actually accomplished.

To me, McEnroe is on the second-to-third tier of the all-time greats, but he gets talked about like he was a first-tier great. Hence, overrated. I think much of the reason he is overrated is due to his personality and media presence, which tends to obscure what he actually did accomplish.
If only he had finished off Lendl at the '84 FO--best two sets of serve volley tennis on clay I've ever seen. But, he didn't get it done.
