There are only 5. As the great Jerry West once said,
there's a lot of ALL-STARS in the league,
but there are very few SUPERSTARS.
Talking heads on sports propaganda would like you to believe that every team in the League has a superstar on their roster.
NOT!!!
Only superstars in the NBA rn are:
Bron, Steph, Kawhi, Durant, and Giannis (no order).
These the cats who win all the CHAMPIONSHIPS, MVPS, FINAL MVPS, etc.
Everyone else is borderline or just a really good player.

Thank you.

Tatum said you a hoe

Kawhi

That 2019 Finals run was no joke.
They would've been Finals-bound last year if he didn't get hurt.

This facts honestly. Superstar gets thrown around so loosely for dudes who ain't even really prove s*** yet. Get a championship or an MVP then we can start calling cats superstars.

Also I'd put Jokic in the superstar tier. Back to back MVPs, especially when you playing with a bunch of bench, G-league, and rookie players for one of those seasons is something that should put you in there in my opinion.

Jokic is a superstar and a generational talent

you're on crack if you think kawhi ranks that high in 2022 and as a lifelong spurs fan i love the guy

Embiid is a superstar as well. His problem is he always gets some nagging injury in the playoffs

op doesn’t know what a superstar is

Luka is a superstar just not on a championship team

No joker is crazy

Scottie Barnes is on a superstar trajectory

My standards for superstadom are high.

You must

• Dominate in the Regular Season
• Dominate in the Post-Season
• Lead your team to the Finals
• Win a Regular Season MVP
• Win a Finals MVP

If you havent done a combo of the above, you aren't a superstar TO ME.

He's bubbling imo
Definitely in his future if he keeps on current trajectory

Full healthy Kawhi with the current Clippers Team are championship contenders and he's taking them there

I agree @op

Lotta forced cringe narratives so gen z d***rides their hometown players and force them into supe om.

The 5 you listed are good, I’d also add Luka & jokic though.

Luka and Jokic are alive and well dude

Luka is def a superstar. Has consistently put up great numbers against really good teams in the playoffs for 3 seasons straight

Took his team (that no one expected let’s be real) to the WCF this season. He’s already there

Could've said the same about Trey last season tbh, and he's not there

Trey really only did that last year tho but I’d say he’s on the cusp. Def a star at this point
