Differences between a role player, star, and superstar

[blankstairz]

Consistency is exactly what makes a star

Rodman consistently rebounded.

What about the Four Stops? Nobody is stopping Levi Stubbs.

Ain't nobody coming to see you, Levi

i kinda agree.. in terms of offensive guard play.. big play is a bit different.

Rodman consistently rebounded.

Role player

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

It's not common sense. Your opening post was not position specific. You spoke on a skillset applicable to positions 1-3 without stating so.

Never liked role player.

Everyone on a team is a role player and plays a role some have more roles than others and others are really good at specific roles.

ROLE PLAYER - ROBERT HORRY, RICK FOX, TONI KUKOC

STAR - PAU GASOL, CHRIS BOSH, KEVIN LOVE

SUPERSTAR - SCOTTIE PIPPEN, REGGIE MILLER, DOMINIQUE WILKINS

ALL-TIME GREAT - KOBE BRYANT, MAGIC JOHNSON, MICHAEL JORDAN

U def one of those nikkas who want to be walked through everything at work, even the obvious...and when you interpret something obvious wrong, plead ignorance

Millenial mindset

So Shaq wasnt a star or superstar ?

You do know that Shaq could do all those things you bolded right?

And you definitely one of those nikkas who can't admit when they have a flawed argument then need to walk back and contort what they said to still be right

Role player/Specialist
Star/hits traditional statistical prerequisites

Superstar/employs what could be a diverse array of skills that gets you to at least the playoffs as the leader of a team

Threadstarter is overthinking it.

Superstar is the type of player you can build a team around and go to the Finals and have a shot at winning a championship. That player is usually the most skilled player on the teams offense, can create open shots for teammates and is the player that has the ball in their hands in late 4th quarter critical situations.
(EXAMPLES: LeBron, Giannis, Kawhi, KD)

Star is a second or third option type of player. They are good typically good offensively and can facilitate for lesser skilled teammates as well. They might also specialize in a none scoring area like passing, rebounding, or defense. The primary difference is the defense can usually contain (stop from scoring) the second option where as they cannot contain the superstar. These are not typically guys you can build a championship contender around either although good players they can be contained.
(EXAMPLES: Klay Thompson, Bradley Beal, CJ McCollum, Jimmy Butler)

Role player is not a guy that can consistently be depended on for offense. They are specialize in one or two areas for example like 3 point shooting, defense, and rebounding. They typically do the dirty work that compliments their teams superstar and star like guarding the superstar from the opposing team to keep their teams superstar and star out of foul trouble.
(EXAMPLES: Danny Green, JJ Redikk, Marcus Smart, Trevor Ariza)
