If anything one of his flaws is passing too much in crunch time when his teammates aren't sinking shots
Nothing about this makes any sense at all.
Russell was a HUGE superstar when Wilt came into the league and repeatedly won MVP over Wilt.
Magic and Bird were gigantic "protagonist" superstars with massive media attention from the moment they entered the league.
Duncan was a bigger star than Kobe when they entered the league but you have them on opposite sides.
Bron was a fantastic playoff performer even from the beginning, he only stunk it up in two series which can be said for literally everyone else on your list too.
Durant was always the "protagonist" star and he took longer than Bron to win his first ring and didn't manage it until he went ring-chasing.
Curry was a media darling the moment he stopped getting hurt and started winning.
None of your players fit your narrative - it's like you just assigned them at random.

Did we watch the same series?
Two straight game 7s against a superior team
the mavs roster is ass
how many teams would kleber/Boban start?
How many teams would Dorian Finney smith start on?

This is literally the Michael Jordan story from 1984-1990.
This would be fixed by having a real offensive system. They have a defensive system and that helps but with no direction on offense other than watch Luka play and park at the 3 point line, you run into dry spells from the supporting cast.
Carlisle using Rondo as an excuse for not running plays should have cost him his job.
How does KD not fit the first archetype when he experienced more playoff failures than Kobe and Bron and had to join a super team to acquire his only rings?Kobe
Wilt
Young Shaq
Young Jordan
theres been many players of this archetype, and thats not bad company at all to be in for Luka but really throughout every era in NBA history there is two types of superstars
Superstar A: the big stat and highlight getters who usually fail in the playoffs due to being in predictable one man offenses that get shut down in the playoffs
(Wilt, LeBron, Kobe, Dr. J, Russell WestBRICK, etc)
For this era its look like Luka, Giannis, and Ja Morant
Superstar B: the star who doesn’t initially receive the protagonist label of the media, but theyre just as good as Star A if not better and are usually able to capture multiple championships, sometimes before Star A, because they are more of a team player and can play within the flow of the offense
(Bill Russell, Tim Duncan, Magic and Bird, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant)
For this era its looking like Donovan Mitchell, Nikola Jokic, Devin Booker and Trae Young will be those guys
Now of course like in all television programs certain characters go through changes and more often than not you will see a Superstar A type player go into that Superstar B role and finally have championship success, (Kobe from 08-10, Jordan when Phil Jackson was hired)
but Superstar A can also take the role of the super team jumper depending on how their personality is, (LeBron in Miami, Kareem to the Lakers, Shaq to the Lakers, Wilt to the Lakers)
the point of the thread is, even though Luka is only 22, hes shown us which type of Superstar he is already, what lies ahead for his career we’ll have to wait and see
