Lkr Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Rose is a superstar, he has the killer instinct/mentality that kobe has, huge part of the bulls success, and is a legit top candidate for league mvp this season. How can he not be considered a superstar? Also i find chris paul very overrated.Don't crown someone who has yet to emerge out of the first round. loltmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Don't crown someone who has yet to emerge out of the first round. loltmacSorry I fail to see the difference between a first round exit or a conference exit, if you dont win a ring who cares. Rose has that ability though, this is a special season and I see special things to come for rose in da future. Its only his third year.

Doesn't make him a superstar yet, like Blake Griffin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 ^ lol Durant's better than Dirk at this point. Yes but at this point Dirk is still much more of a star than Durant is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N/A Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yes but at this point Dirk is still much more of a star than Durant is. How many playoff series has Durant won in his career? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 If LBJ is a superstar so is Durant, sorry it's the truth. LBJ is really overrated, lemme drive to the hole and just bump into someone! cmon now, show some skill baby.you can't knock the guy if it works. besides, LeBron does a lot more than just penetrate. he can pass as well as any forward in the league, he can post up, he can shoot from outside, he can rebound, and he's one of the better defenders in the game. Yes but at this point Dirk is still much more of a star than Durant is.how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 LBJ, Kobe, Wade, Durant, Dwight, Chris Paul, Deron, D-Rose. Then you have the guys like Blake, Bosh, Melo, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Playoff series = stars? I guess Robert Horry is a huge star Playoff wins certainly plays a role as to how you are perceived as a player. Robert Horry was never a star to begin with, he just made a name for himself by hitting timely shots. Superstars are recognized for their play in the regular season and the postseason, but they build their legacy in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Don't crown someone who has yet to emerge out of the first round. loltmacreplace kobe with tmac on the young 00 lakers team and you still win 3 championships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Let's decipher between team accomplishments and players talent though, k? When Rose has had to play the Celtics do you actually expect him to win? When Durant has played the Lakers do you really expect him to win?

The Truth Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Durant has 0 playoff series wins...because he's only been in the league for a few years. I don't think you necessarily need to win in the playoffs to be considered a superstar. I mean, it certainly helps and it gets you a lot more recognition, but what about Kobe those years the Lakers got knocked out in the first round? was he not a superstar those years?

The Truth Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 ^ so by your standards, a player must win a ring to be considered a superstar? I guess Baylor, Malone, Barkley, Iverson, and McGrady were never superstars at any point in their careers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChosenOne Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 how? He has been in the league for over 12 years now, he has reached the finals, he has made the playoffs i believe every years he has been in the league, he is huge internationally, and at age 33 he still puts on a show every night. Durant is a up and coming superstar but right now is not there yet imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truth Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 for me, it's very simple. the top 10 players in the league are the superstars and the 25 below them (top five at each position) are the stars. so, in my opinion, the superstars are: Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Melo, Rose, Durant, Paul, Amare, Howard, D-Will. call me crazy, but Dirk is just a star anymore. although, he's about as close to a superstar as it gets.

I completely see where you are coming from but to me I dont see how DWill and say LeBron can be put in the same category. Given that DWill is good but he still isnt LeBron status yet. I also dont believe that there are 10 superstars in the league, it sorta makes the superstar term less meaningful in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
