Today I`m covering possibly the most confusing, unclear question of what exactly makes a player an NBA superstar. As you`ll see, many players qualify but still aren`t considered one quite yet.

Idgaf what anyone says... Kawhi Leonard is a SUPERSTAR. Top 5 player in the league, best permitter defender since Pippen (front runner to 3peat the DPOTY award this year), and has FMVP under his belt at age 25? #Don'tsleep #2017MVP

If Kawhi Leonard isn't a superstar I don't know what is. The notion that he isn't because he has a reserved personality is nonsensical. It's the NBA, not X-Factor. The point is to win championships. I also suspect the same argument could've been used against Larry Bird, or Jerry West. It's malarkey.

Gal Dagon It’s really just the team he’s in. In a team like the lakers or the heat he’d stand out. It’s just the style of play of the spurs that hurts him. He’s not able to be as flashy as other superstars, without having to pass first. So it makes him look too reliant on his team.

Letter A Damian Lillard is not a Top 5 Point Guard. I'll name you five better, Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, John Wall, and I do believe its a toss up between Kyrie and Lillard but for me I go Kyrie, but Lillard is definitely #6. In terms of Top 10 player, also wrong. I'll names you ten players better than Lillard. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, Paul George, James Harden, Chris Paul, DeMarcus Cousins. I will say this though, Damian Lillard is definitely box office and will bring in money and has superstar potential but I think he needs to improve a little more before he can really be considered elite. But Lillard is certainly on the rise.

if your reason for Kwahi Leonard not being a superstar is because casual fans don't want to watch him play, then your a causal fan. A real fan, or a die hard fan, would love to see his defense and efficiency, and his basketball IQ. I just can't fathom someone saying "Kwahi isn't a superstar." If he's not a superstar, the sky isn't blue

For me, I think a superstar just depends on stats. Dom what you said about a player dominating one part.of the game, helps his stats. Then stats itself of course. Also a player being a two-way player helps his stats. It all comes down to either stats or wins. With wins though, if mangemant doesn't put a good team around you, there's only so far you can go. That's why for me Demarcus Cousins has to be a superstar. he puts up great stats on a team whose mangemant is being run by 5 year olds. That's just what I think

Cedric Sarfo Dom is saying that Kawhi is def a superstar people just don't put him down because of lack of name recognition. IMO he's an obvious superstar but the reason he's not considered one by some is not because of casual fans but more of because people feel he doesn't take over a game effectively and make his presence known like other superstars. Like he doesn't strike fear into his opponents when he shoots or something which is completely untrue considering NBA teams respect him a lot but some fans just aren't scared of him and think that everyone else must not be too

Charles Delair I consider Kyrie a one-way superstar who lacks court vision. He is, in my opinion, not a "superstar" because he lacks elite playmaking ability and cannot play well on the other end of the court (which is half of the game). I'm not hating though. I love watching him play; he is an offensive juggernaut that can score like no other and is definitely the best finisher in the NBA.

Whoever puts up better stats, plays better in a variety of different ways, and Stands out from the others are considered Superstars... All-stars are the best players.... The superstars stand out from the All-stars...
I think people were saying the same thing with Timmy. I guess it's just spurs player treatment. Since in that offense it's not surrounded around Kawhi but it's about the team. Also Kawhi doesn't have a major shoe and isn't the best at marketing himself. That's the only reason you can even think about denying him superstardom if that. Kawhi is definately a superstar

I'd say Irving and Lillard are superstars without a question mark. To me, anyone that can put fear into their matchup on a one on one is a superstar. Sure Carmelo is a scary ISO matchup, but he's not going to score the ways Kyrie and Lillard will score. Lillard will pull up from way way behind he 3 point line and make jumpers forcing you to tighten your defense, which won't matter because he can get to the rim with his speed. Same thing for Kyrie except Kyrie doesn't pull up from that distance often, but is a better finisher than Lillard by a little due to the volume of his FGs from there.

Mine is simple. I have 6 catagories. 1st is superstar, this groups includes people as good as lebron to low end superstars like Irving, klay and Blake. 2nd is star and these are people like Marc gasol, Conley, Drummond, green and Melo. 3rd- these are people who aren't stars but are better than just role players. I call these better than avegre so people like ibaka, olidapo, reddick, Levine and the big 3 on the lakers. 4th - this is the role player group.

Meta world peace, or people who are like in and out of rotations 6th - bench warmers, in-out of the league type players.
Who the f*ck says Kawhi is not a superstar? Also there's no question about Cousins either but... Kawhi? Really? Best 2 way player in the league.
Love this topic. Can you cover players from the early 2000s? I want to hear your opinion on the Pistons, Blazers, Spurs, Suns, and other players from that decade.
huh. I never really thought about that question. Great vid Dom!
My superstars are: - Lebron (chosen one) - curry (a bad player wouldnt get this much attention and best 3 point shooter ever) - leonard (has the defense and offense) - harden (rockets would be trash without him, carried team to playoffs) - cp3 (passing skills, playmaker, defender, can score) - lillard (got his team to the playoffs without a good supporting player (has cj but still he isn't fully developed yet)) - george (came back from a bad injury and still got his team to the playoffs and almost got them to the 2nd round) - westbrook (has an aggressive mentality/doesn't back down, lacks the shooting but can pass/make plays and is crazy fucking explosive, good defender, can carry a team without kd)

I can't help but notice the similarities in the play styles of Kawhi and Andre Iguodala. They're both on really good teams, they're arguably the two best on ball defenders in the league, they've both won Finals MVP, and they've both proven they can score the ball. It'd be cool if you could compare the two in a future video.
love this video!!
What about Andre Drummond?The best rebounder in the league as well as one of the best all around forwards in the league, and he led his team to the playoffs last year. Not saying he is but there's at least an argument to be made.

superstars for me are players that can take over games when needed too. Player like K leonard, Kyrie, Lillard, Melo, Wade, Klay and Aldridge are clear superstars. If you think Klay is just a catch and shoot player you really need to look at his game he's not just a catch and shoot he can finish around the rim shoot dribble pull ups and defend, just cause he doesn't need to handle the ball as a pg doesn't mean he ain't a superstar, and for all those who think leonard ain't a superstar you don't know basketball period.

First of all Westbrook has made it to the finals second Westbrook averages 25, 10, 7. Chris Paul on the other hand is not only elite on the offensive side but also elite defensively as Dom said. Like I said he is not in the same class as those players
Very well put together. I think a Superstar can be defined as being able to be called one of the best players on the court every game, no matter who the competition is. For this reason, I'd definitely put Clay up there, as he can create his own shot as well as being a great spot shooter and defender.
Hey man, I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate all the hard work that you put into your videos. I really enjoy watching them.

I don't know how those guys that have never played professional sports get a shot at doing something like that but I would definitely watch you. Good luck man and keep the DOPE videos coming!

Bonafide Superstars: Steph Curry - Do I really have to explain this one? Kevin Durant - Elite scorer, former MVP, all around amazing player and draw. LeBron James: Once again, do I even have to explain this one? James Harden: Lackadaisical on D, sure, but an amazing passer, scorer, and he can carry a team on his back Russell Westbrook: Stupid athletic, great scorer, almost averaged a triple double. Paul George: Carries his team, great two-way player. Near/Questionable Superstar: Kawhi Leonard: Amazing defender, can shoot the ball, just hasn't proven himself scoring wise. Remember, his career high is barely above 30 points. Carmelo Anthony: He can still score and play high level basketball, but his age is probably going to catch up to him these next couple of seasons. LaMarcus Aldridge: Great scorer and rebounder, plays on a team where his stats really can't shine that much. Klay Thompson: Great two way player, stuck in a sidekick role of sorts. On his own I feel like he'd be in PG's situation.

for me categories for being a superstar is 1. winning at least 1 finals or season mvp 2. being able to change the game for how good you play (ex. shaq was the reason zone defense was made, MJ illegal offense, barkley 5 secs back to the basket) 3. an all-star who is ready to perform in the playoffs and carrying the whole team on his back
I think I watched most of your videos. Very good content and I like the way you explain things. You sound like being from the south of US, really pleasant to listen to. Only once I didn't like that in one video you said 'If you want to shit on the Warriors I don't mind.' I just think the video would have been better if you had skipped that. You had already made it clear by that point that you support Boston and you are just giving your opinion. But good, congrats on the channel and keep up the good work! NBA fan.
Kahwi Leonard for mvp
I been using this scale, similar to the other one i seen here 1. Top 3 in Position 2. Top 8 in the league 3. Box Office 4. I grew up watching Kobe, so if you're a superstar you gotta be able to score. Career High has to be 55+

First thing, love the videos Dom. Good channel for hoop heads. Now about Kawhi. I think this will be the year , w/ TD retired and parker and gino accepting their age and roles, that Kawhi truly becomes face of the spurs and solidifies himself as a true superstar. Also for a future video and something I like to think about is: who do you think will be the best "up and coming" PG, SG, SF , PF, and C in the league in 5-7 years? Like KAT from the twolves would be a perfect example of a guy I was thinking of for this list. Not established talent but maybe still even in college (if you watch college ball?)

Example the west finals and nba finals both game 7s.

I think part of being a superstar is your demeanor on the court. Guys that get hyped up when they make plays or have that show off attitude sometimes and they have the stats to back it up

Draymond IS a Superstar and here's why: - Does have the Championship attitude - Can takeover games defensively and offensively with his passing and ability to run the GS offense - We seen how they played WITHOUT him in Game 5 - You could make the case that Draymond is the most important player on GS because he causes those mismatches because he's too quick for the average Center and too strong for the 4 and he RUNS THE OFFENSE allowing Curry and Klay those spot up threes. He defends , He cans score , He wins, and he's got that attitude, and his impact on the game is felt. He's a superstar.

Dirk brought the one leg fadeaway, Curry took 3 point shooting to a legendary level, MJ brought his fadeaway and Iverson reinvented what we call now Modern crossover.

Late but: my definition is you need to do two things at an elite level and those things can't be team dependent.scoring from different areas also helps. Chris Paul- defense, passing, outside shooting Steph Curry- can score from anywhere, steals, passing Kevin Durant- can score from anywhere, block shots/generally play defense Russell Westbrook- inside/mid range scoring, passing, rebounds Anthony Davis- inside scoring, rebounds, blocks/interior defense James Harden- can score from anywhere, passing, rebounds Kawhi Leonard- outside shooting (the only scoring he does at an elite level), defense LeBron James- can score from anywhere, passing, rebounds, defense Paul George- can score from anywhere, defense John Wall- can score from anywhere, defense/steals, passing
kawhi Leonard is way better than LeBron and doesn't need no question mark. he has a great shot and post game and defense like LeBron on has a bullrush and passing and defense when he wants to. kawhi is always put on the back burner bkuz of LeBron and yet curry is up there with LeBron but all he can do is shoot like that's nonsense.

1. Kawhi Leonard is definitely a superstar 2. He is not the best two way player 3. That would be Lebron because even though Kawhi undoubtedly plays better defense, Lebron mine as well be the second best defender in the NBA right behind Kawhi. Plus Lebron is much better on offense than Kawhi

No question, Leonard is a superstar. I cannot remember a player who has such an impact on a game on both ends of the floor since Jordan and Olajuwon. His demeanor on the floor just makes him a quiet assassin. Before you know it, he can hit you with 25 to 27 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assist, 3 steals and maybe 2 blocks. His intangibles are what makes him a superstar. The man is a stat sheet filler and you would not know it until the end of the game. Monster player!!!!

Paul-Yes Griffin-No Thompson-Maybe Green-Maybe Aldridge-No Irving-Yes Cousins-Yes Westbrook-Yes Davis-Yes Harden-Yes Wade-No George-No Curry-Yes Durant-Yes Lillard-Yes Leonard-Yes James-Yes Melo-No Giannis-Yes! How could you not even mention him! Wall-Yes Derozan-Yes Butler-Yes Embiid, Porzingis, Towns-Yes in a couple of years
Kawhi Leonard should definitely be regarded as a superstar since he is one of the most dominant players in the league. He could be a sleeper candidate for MVP this year. As the new leader in San Antonio, he faces the challenge that Tim Duncan had where he is on a well-known and successful team that doesn't have a huge fan base because it 1) isn't located in one of the nation's largest cities and 2) has to compete for fans with two other NBA teams located in larger cities in the same state. As for Lillard, I think that if he can maintain his standard of play from last year for another season or two, then it will be impossible to deny him superstar status. John Wall has sufficient skills and is the face of his franchise, but he really needs to develop a consistent jumper before anyone will take him seriously as a superstar.
great video analysis & interpretation as always just one quick correction: the year KD kept the Thunder afloat(2014) without WB, they were the West' 2nd seed, and were actually at one point, the top seed in the first half of the season. they ended up having superior record to Miami & Indy too.. I think ppl quickly forget how surreal & ridiculous that season was for Durant. He averaged like, 32 points a game throughout the entire season and kept them in contention..
