LOL,

No

No he's a star. Only superstars in this league are Lebron and KD.

what defines a superstar? Sincere question.

I think a superstar has to have off-court appeal/a great brand, while also being an elite centerpiece for a franchise. I believe he fits the criteria.

I'd say he's a superstar.

Good question. Superstar in my books is top elite performance sustained for multiple years and elevating your team to new horizons. Look at KD's stats, sustaining elite performance for 8 years in a row, lebron for 10+ years.

Under your criteria yes, he's a superstar, but I think he's still got to elevate the team to new heights, sustain his performance for a few more years to prove his superstardom to me. He's a solid player for sure, but hard to say for me if he's reached superstardom yet.

I admit, I like the idea of longevity/sustainability fo sho. It makes sense. I guess i'm influenced by the immediate gratification/in-the-moment type of mindset, as is so heavily the case in our culture and the league itself, imo. But I definitely feel you.

[Nick Young]
