  • To me, there are two possible definitions of a superstar.

    1. Their fame exceeds basketball. Guys like Curry, KD, and Lebron. Great basketball players, but what makes them superstars is that literally everyone, whether or not they watch basketball, knows who they are. The “asses in seats” metric. There are 5 or less of these guys in the NBA at one time.

    2. A guy who could realistically be the best player on a championship team. This is what most people mean by superstar. There are at most 7 or 8 of these guys in the NBA at one time. By this definition, we pretty much only have Lebron, Curry, KD, SGA, Jokic, Luka, Tatum, and Ant. Really if you want to narrow it down even more it’s “Could realistically be the best offensive player on a championship team”.
