Who's the greatest NBA superstar/mentor that helped mold a future NBA superstar?

[Real14]

So far I have...

Oscar robertson
Jabbar
D.Robinson (& popavich)
Moses Malone

Who else?


It also has to be within that star's first three years too.

Who was the greatest mentor?

[VengefulAngel]

Dwyane Wade.

Taught Lebron how to win.

Didn't read OP, but will still leave this here.

Moses Malone with Charles Barkley?

I disagree.

Refs and David Stern gave Wade and Lebron wins.

You didn't read huh mr. salty?:lol

[Real14]

Moses Malone with Charles Barkley?
You have a point. I will put that on the list.

disagree on admiral and pop. duncan w/o them probably goes down as a greater all time player. he's never had the individual numbers and was bogged down in that respect by pop. I say with a coach like Phil jackson duncan has at least the same amount of rings AND the gaudy stats. w/o pop TD = goat

'Has to be within the first 3 years'

Agreed though.

I thought moses hated chuck and called him "fat *****"

[MP.Trey]

Hakeem with Yao, Dwight, Kobe, LeBron, etc.

EDIT: Oh never mind, just saw within first three years. He still taught Yao in his first few years I think?

[GOATbrook]

Kobe passed the Torch to GOATbrook.:rockon:

I thought moses hated chuck and called him "fat *****"

he did. he then offered to train him and get him into shape, and charles worked his way into the starting line-up soon afterwards.

moses also trained hakeem really well during his college days.

jordan helped kobe obviously.

i think gp mentored kidd too

[VengefulAngel]

Pop/ Duncan/ with Kawhi/ Tony Parker/Manu, not really superstars.

[stalkerforlife]

I'd say Kobe.

He turned 0-16 in the playoffs Pau without Kobe to a two time champion with Kobe. Pau is now regarded very highly because of his stint with Kobe.

He turned Lamar Odom into a legitimate third option for back to back world titles. Without Kobe, Odom is smoking crack in dark alleys and sleeping with STD infested hookers.

He turned the much maligned Artest into a world champion. After Kobe, Artest has resorted to wearing shoes with pandas on them and beating up small China men.
