Tony Parker's 6-23 performance couldn't have helped, either :lol

They have 3.5 superstars imho. Bron/Wade/Bosh are all legit superstars with Ray Allen counted as 0.5

During the playoffs 1, during the streak 3. Or rather 3 stars. I don't think Bosh is a superstar, as a franchise player he was playoff fodder much like Gasol except Gasol was a better player.

Wade was easily a legitimate superstar MVP candidate before the Big 3, but last year he was only healthy while the Heat were streaking. He's just normal star status now until he can go out and dominate again. Everyone knows he killed the Heat's spacing during the Finals. 6 wouldn't have came close if Wade didn't come back in after Bron tore Timmy a new asshole.

There are only 2 Superstars in the league right now. Kobe and Lebron. In the last 10 years... Kobe, Lebron, Shaq, and Jim.

You have to understand my standards are much higher than yours. A woman that's a 5 for me is a 10 for you. A fine dining experience for you is fast food for me. A five star hotel for you is a two star for me.

During the playoffs/finals, 1. Wade was sharp in games 4 and 7. Bosh was good but not great.

I think only Bron deserves the "superstar"-tag...and Wade was one several years ago...So I'd go with 1,5 or less.

But it depends on the definition of "superstar". For me its a guy thats about top5 in the league (in weak eras maybe even fewer) and is known by most non basketball fans...opposing to "starplayer" which are more or less the All Star participants and may or may not be known by your soccer playing little sister.

Others it may throw this tag around like Vince McMahon...which makes it 12-15 superstars on the Heat.

It's the most stacked team I've ever seen in NBA history, and they still almost blew it. Find me a team where that many superstars IN THEIR PRIME were on 1 team. INB4 Clipper Nation sucks venom out of Lebron's dick.

Wade was never a superstar. He couldn't even sell out his fucking arena. There has never been more than 2-4 superstars in the league at once.

If thats you definition of a superstar, I can live with that.

That's part of it, but not the entire package. Duncan was a superstar but he didn't sell out arenas. The superstar is the alpha male that performs his best when the game is on the line consistently. Can you say that about KG... no. AI... no. TMAC... no. Those were the players that rivaled Duncan, Kobe and Shaq but came up short most of the times. Today you have guys like Durant, Westbrook, Melo, and others being called superstars. They are not alpha males at all.

:lol Wait, the guy with the probably career-ending injury and the Lottery-level team is still a superstar?

ESPN's latest headline about Kobe.

Lebron Has Finally Passed Kobe In Most Popularity

I generally agree with your definition. KD is a superstar. Melo and Westbrick aren't. Rose is. J-Kidd was. A healthy Wade definitely is. That's why I laughed, filet mignon.
Can't help it if Miami in general is apathetic as hell. Even the first year or so with LBJ there and on the heels of The Decision, the crowd generally sucked well into the playoffs. This year was the best crowd and I don't necessarily think you can pin it on Lebron alone. It's the whole package including now Ray Allen. The rest is a combo of ESPN, clever stuff like "white hot" and "noche latina" which wasn't around for most of the Wade alpha era, it being a 2-peat etc...

Also, filet, you're using the definition of crowd turnout rather than overall fan popularity (USA and worldwide) and awareness. Duncan trails both Lebron and Wade in that.

Ginobili was at allstar levels for them in game 6 IMO

KD is nothing but Lebron's dish rag. He has settled for being what TMAC was to Kobe. He actually has the audacity to go work out with the guy he should be seeking to destroy. Wade has always been a good player but never a superstar. Kidd was never a superstar.
