I'm not downtalking Kawhi production. I'm saying he produces but my not have the same recognition from casual/non-basketball fans to call him superstar. He stepped up like I wanted him to this year.Dwight took several steps back and Kawhi is clearly a superstar he produces more than just about anyone cause he's elite on both sides of the ball, the fact you downtalkin his production makes the rest of that shyt lose all credibility.
Kyrie could definitely lead a team to the playoffs without LeBron especially in the trash as East, you just had Thomas leadin the Celtics to a 7th seed in the playoffs wit a below 500 record 2 years ago.
You talkin bout what Kyrie was back then he's gotten significantly better since then, and that team wasn't the same team they are now Lebron ain't the only difference in the roster.
If anythin Kyrie is underrated any other player who been good since he got in the league became great after a few years and consistently performed in the playoffs knockin down clutch shots in the Finals to give his team and city their first win in decades would get more respect, he definitely a top 5 PG@ you claimin guys who ain't did half of what he has are better PGs over him. I know some of the disrespect comes from LeBron stans tryna downplay his impact to make LeBron look better so they won't say Kyrie is a superstar cause they don't wanna admit he won all his rings wit one other superstar.
Magic was a good defender he literally could play all 5 positions Harden is straight trash on defense.
Magics defense was trash as hell so was dirks,Barkley,Nash,curry,ai, and a few others I can't recall but you can't deny those guys impact and at their peaks they were all superstar franchise players so is harden dude is damn near leading the league in scoring while leading in assist something that hasn't been done since Nate archibald Harden is top 5 in the league and so far the MVP you gotta respect his game he might give up 15-20 points but he's gonna score 30 and dish out 12 assist....And for the record a lot of guys get by with defense because of their name lebron regularly takes plays off defensively during kobes 2peat artest and ariza were guarding the best players Kobe was blowing assignments and getting beat on screens yet he still got all defensive team selections then you have Westbrook who is terrible at defense all he does is gamble has no oddball awareness and no discipline on ball but because he yells and punches his chest people think he's locked in defensively
To me, Bron is the only Superstar.
The only guy you can put on a shyt team and still make it to the Finals.
Those other guys are star stat stuffers......I can't put the "super" in front of them
I thought a superstar was a player that can change the landscape of the NBA if he changed teams.To me, Bron is the only Superstar.
The only guy you can put on a shyt team and still make it to the Finals.
Those other guys are star stat stuffers......I can't put the "super" in front of them
So you're telling me the Nets with LeBron would make the Finals?
Anyone that doesn't think Durant, Harden, Westbrook, Curry & Kawhi aren't Superstars clearly doesn't understand the sport.
CP has taken a step back? When?
Magic's defense definitely wasn't trash neither was Barkley's and Curry is average on D, Harden ain't in the same category as them or AI he ain't THAT great offensively to make up for his terrible defense which is even worse than theirs. I agree he the MVP over Westbrook cause his team has a much better record his play is translatin to wins but individually Westbrook is havin the better year, in order for Harden to be considered top 5 he'd have to at least be average on D and even then he'd still be surpassed by Leonard for the 5th spot cause he's way better offensively than Harden is defensively.
LeBron regularly makes multiple big plays on defense somethin Harden doesn't do and Kobe wasn't as great defensively as he was durin the 3peat cause he was usin more energy on offense as the #1 guy but he still was a All Star defender worthy of makin All Defense, and Westbrook is another guy that's at least average defensively Harden is one of the worst defenders in the league which is inexcusable for an All Star much less a supposed "superstar".
No one player other than Jordan could alter the entire league by joinin any team, LeBron doin it now cause the East is at an all time WOAT and he joinin other superstars/all stars. If he went to the Nets it wouldn't change the Warriors or Spurs chances of winnin if anythin that would ensure they'd win cause Bron wouldn't be there on a good team to face them.
I said Dwight took several steps back, I guess you meant to quote the post above mine cause he the one that said CP3 took a step back.
