Differences between a role player, star, and superstar

Reggie wasn't a facilitator. He ran off screens often for his shots.

Reggie could score from face ups, and he was consistent

Reggie crossed MJ for goodness sakes

I think it was Doug Collins who coined and introduced the term"role player" into popular culture.

Term is overused, and goes against the team concept. On any given play depending on matchups, most players on the court will be asked to do different things. Having that balance, and the ability to get different things from multiple players is what makes teams hard to beat. That Diana Ross & The Supremes shyt makes your team easy to defend against.

in today's NBA, versatility goes a long way, but accepting roles on offense iseparates great playoff teams & ones that flame out quickly

I gave criteria, I didn't say all had to be met, but some of them had to be met to be considered a star/superstar

Dennis Rodman wasn't a star or superstar

You didn't say only "some" had to be met either, and proceeded to give example that you perfectly for your claim.

Don't move your own goalposts.

Not one mention of defense.
Fantastic analysis.

Draymond was a SUPERSTAR defender, but he's a role player breh

WHO TF expects Centers to advance the ball? Only a DH

Ray Allen = role player.

 

[Guess Who]

It’s all about consistency and situational effectiveness. Superstars can do it 90% of the games they play in, regardless of the competition, location or juncture of the game.

Ray Allen could break players down

Even he scored the decisive basket one on one against my Lakers in g4 08 finals, breaking down The Machine

Randy Brown underrated

What about The Four Tops? Nobody is stopping Levi Stubbs.

Which is why your premise is flawed like I said. You made sweeping general criteria without regard for position and skillset.

Consistency is exactly what makes a star

No, it's common sense

A superstar big man can have the offense run through him at a high level, and is consistent = Shaq

A role player is fed baskets = DeAndre Jordan
