    Kobe is the most manufactured superstar in the game and it's not even close. Lebron is damn near underrated for what he can actually do for a franchise, but Kobe rode Shaq's nuts for years and came out smelling like D Rose.

    The league needed another MJ and they tried really hard to manufacture one. The media needed one worse, and they did everything they possibly could to put Kobe in the forefront no matter what was happening elsewhere in the league.

    Paul George is just finding his way up. Kobe was given the golden ticket to the show and now media and Laker fans act like he's the director.

    Irving is a superstar. I'd no idea only Durant and LeBron are en led to be superstars.
    Sorry, but Irving isn't a superstar. You can call Jeff Ayres a superstar if you want, but he's not. If you put Irving's face on a cereal box, the majority of people seeing it wouldn't have any clue who he is. Can't say that for James, Durant, Kobe etc...

    Harden. He's not particularly good at anything besides "selling" contact.
    He's an excellent slasher and finisher even without the calls...that's just icing on the cake.

    Irving is a superstar.
    No he's not, he's an empty-stats-bad-team guy, just like Love....

    Still a better pure shooter, post player and inside scorer. Paul George is a great defender and everything, but he hasn't shown the ability to carry Indiana on offense against Miami in the Playoffs, Lebron owns his soul. 7 points on 2-9 shooting in Game 7 of the ECF, seriously? At least KD put up 30 ppg with Lebron guarding him in the Finals. Imagine KD on that Pacers team.

    Pacers have the best defense, but their offense is average. George should be making more plays, 23.6 ppg is good, but it's not elite.

    Lol at your bias ness, kd got back swept, pg went 7 games and that's after the pacers lost what was supposed to be their best player in granger and was supposed to probably be a 2nd round exit to ny. Meanwhile Durant couldn't even get past Memphis in the playoffs without Westbrook.


    If you're gonna about something at least state the facts. Pg is a superstar deal with it

    Derrick Rose tbh, even more so than Durant.

    -got way overhyped in the draft due to "size and athleticism" for his position, comparing him to a combination of Jason Kidd and Dwyane Wade lol
    -couldn't take his own SATs because he probably can't read
    -NBA rigged the draft so he could play in his hometown of Chicago and write the next championship chapter after Jordan
    -won an MVP award he didn't deserve, as well as affecting LeBron's legacy (the way Karl Malone did Jordan by stealing an MVP from him)
    -Adidas "he's fa-ast" campaign brainwashing kids all over the country
    -wouldn't recruit LeBron or Wade or Bosh because he didn't "need" them to win
    -has only made it out of the first round of the playoffs once, meanwhile his team last season made it out of the first round WITHOUT him
    -in the only post season he got out of the first round, went to the free throw line 34 times in the first two games of round 1 to help "jumpstart" his game
    -didn't want to "tough it out" even though he was medically cleared to play
    -still can't shoot, and now he ain't so "fa-ast" anymore
    -dumped by fiance, in love with a stripper
    -fake thug, gang signs
    -weaker knees than Greg Oden
    -Thibodeau thinks he's a
    best post ITT

    Now that Kobe is old this league has no superstars. The media saw this coming and inflated all of these role players knowing you all would sop it up.

    PG has had more of these than anyone else in recent memory. Started with that phantom foul beyond the arc against Miami in the playoffs last year.

    George is flashy but he's gotta have a couple seasons of greatness to be that superstar they want.

    Play style has a lot to do with FTA. Other players can do it as well, they just don't. Durant and Harden have the knowledge and wherewithal to actually exploit the fact that refs are human and so they drive the paint and get foul calls. They don't go in recklessly most time, but they do the up and under move and that gets them to the line almost every time. When the defense can learn to counter than or avoid it, it won't be an issue.

    I highly doubt the NBA has picked those two to coddle.
    Refs were specifically instructed to stop calling fouls on that "up and under" move, though, particularly from the triple threat position. They've stopped calling it for almost everyone except for Durant.

    pretty much. I bought into teh Rose hype but that's the genius of Stern, instead of wanting to build great teams the NBA wants to sell s that can fly.

    So what? If someone instructed you not to tap your brakes when you see brake lights ahead of you, you'd have a hard time complying. That's because it's a reaction. The whistle is a reaction due to the speed of the game.

    Is English your primary language?

    Your ass puckers anytime anyone besides Kobe gets any credit, even though you feign a semi-neutral appreciation for the spread of talent.

    If you're gonna about something at least state the facts. Pg is a superstar deal with it
    No he's not. The only thing he's better at on offense is dunking, KD is literally better in every other aspect on the offensive end.

    People were hyping him too much early in the season, talking MVP when he was hot the first 10-20 games, KD has carried a team without Westbrook to the best record in the West, putting up 10 straight 30 point games (just had a triple double on 12-17 shooting with only 7 FTA).

    George is not consistent enough to be considered a superstar, and Indiana is stacked as , who does KD have on OKC? Alpha is the only other great player on that team, Reggie Jackson improved a lot this year and is playing out of his mind, Ibaka is just above-average, and that's about it. George has the best defensive center in the league and great defenders at every position. Replace KD with PG and Pacers win against the Heat.

    If you watched the 2012 Finals, you'd know that KD was not the problem in that series. The problem was their ty game plan and their ty defense. They played a similar style to Miami, which was their achilles' heel. Harden also disappeared and their lack of perimeter defense killed them. The series however was pretty close other than Game 5, KD won Game 1 for his team with 18 points in the 4th, Game 2 Lebron hacked him on the last shot, Game 4 Westbrook intentionally fouls when there's only 5 seconds on the shot clock (with over 10 seconds left in the game, down 3), which wins the game for Miami.

    At least KD has been to the Finals.

    What? I give Lebron and Durant credit on here daily and plenty to Pop and Duncan.
    You have Kobe's dripping off your mouth daily.
    Cant keep him out of your posts.
    You can't despise someone THAT much and not have "feelings" ... it's like dem gays that are self-loathng.
    Bash other gays in public but hate themselves for it.

    Admit you secretly love chuckers or are a reformed one yourself ...
