[RRR3]

Did you just call Allan Houston and Latrell Sprewell superstars?

[SouBeachTalents]

Baylor should be ranked first

They were at some point in their careers not long tho.

Yea he can be in there.

The Knicks had 3 "superstars" and couldn't win a single ring?

[FatComputerNerd]

Sprewell was 1st team all-nba

(and a much better player than Houston was btw)

\They prob would have if Ewing hadn't been hurt. Camby couldn't handle the spurs front-line by himself.

No offense to his fans, but why does McGrady deserve a ring? Never got his team out of the first round. To say he "played in the Finals" is a huge technicality; he played 31 total minutes over the course of the entire playoffs and didn't score a single point. He wasn't even on the Spurs' regular season roster.

Dude choked against Detroit and should have beaten at least one of those Jazz teams (I think they were favored in both series). To me, he's about as bad as Carmelo, though at least Carmelo has had one legit playoff run.

IMO, McGrady is not in the conversation. The discussion should be reserved for guys like Baylor, Malone/Stockton, Barkley, Ewing, Reggie, etc.

Nobody deserves shit, especially the hardest thing to accomplish in basketball and win an NBA title. If you were a "superstar" and didnt win one, thats on you.

Also Sprewell, Houston being superstars :roll:

Reggie Miller deserved it more than all of those, Malone/Stockton/Barkley comes next.

[NBAGOAT]

1/2. Malone, Barkley
3. Baylor
4. Ewing
5. Stockton
6. Durant
7. Dantley
8. Iverson
9. Miller
10. Dwight

HM: Mutumbo, Tmac

you really forgot a lot of guys like dantley, miller, dwight, and mutumbo.

[Kenomax]

Houston and Sprewell superstars? Absolutely no, also R.Miller and Dantley.
Malone and Barkley are the best who never won.

[Papaya Petee]

He absolutely was
Absolutely not.

The one year he led his team to the NBA Finals he averaged 20\5\2 and he only started 8 out of the 20 playoff games.
He made the playoffs 5 times in his career, and the only other memorable post-season he had was the 2004 with Minny where he averaged 19\4\4 and was a 2nd option for KG. Thats superstar numbers?

Regular season he topped 20 PPG 4 times. One season where he averaged 24\6\5 in a high paced Warriors team, where you could argue he was borderline. Other than that a bunch of 16-20PPG seasons on average teams. Dudes a career 42.5% FG and 33% 3PT shooter which are both mediocre. He was never a great defender either.

He made 1 All NBA team and 1 All Defensive team his entire career.
He was never a superstar, not even close.

Maybe you're right, and I'm probably a bit biased too as he was one of my favorites growing up.

I do remember a young Sprewell being the 2nd best 2-guard in the league for a stretch though, and arguably #1 the season MJ took a vacation.

[Hey Yo]

Reggie Miller deserved it more than all of those, Malone/Stockton/Barkley comes next.
Reggie wasn't a superstar. He was a 3pt specialist who probably exaggerated contact the most in NBA history trying to get a call.

[Thorpesaurous]

Dantley is a good one because The Pistons were right on the cusp and won right after with Aguire doing very similar things. Although you could make the case the change in personality, and the willingness Aguire had to let Isiah and Dumars do more, may have been the tipping point.

He didn't have much run, but Ralph Sampson is maybe a possibility. Those Rockets teams were good.

[ralph_i_el]

Nobody deserves a ring. You either win or you lose

[ralph_i_el]

Dwight was a superstar. Houston and Spree were not.

Did Grant Hill ever play in the finals?

[Smoke117]

Calling Spree at any point a superstar was bad enough...but Houston? LOL. The guy at his best was a borderline all star...not even a legitimate all star level player...but he was at one point a superstar? :oldlol:

Even funnier...this idiot actually has Houston HIGHER than SPREE on his silly list. :roll:
