There's no way you classify James Harden as a superstar but omit Dwayne Wade. D-Whistle was going head up against Kobe & unlike Harden, actually led his team to a championship.:mjlol:

If we factor in postseason success (or lack thereof) and numbers as the #1, McGrady has every right to be on this list, too, and that's disregarding that T-Mac was more popular at his peak.

I would even say Derrick Rose was a superstar even though he never quite reached his prime. His games were must see, and even after the injuries he had a cult following despite the media pushing him out of the spotlight.
DRose the G but I can’t quite put him in superstar category, the injury fukked everything up for his trajectory :deadrose:

My only issue is his unfortunate injury so short in his rise. Grant Hill and Penny suffered the same fate. Rose was definitely a main draw but still eat a dikk for saying my opinion was stupid.

For years now I compared Haliburton to Kidd and just like Kidd I think he needs to be the second or even third option on a championship team. He an elite PG but he ain’t an elite scorer.

I guess you can call Angel Reese a "superstar" but it's not because of her ability

On the court she is a Thirst trapping Dale Davis :mjlol:
