    Default The League has very little Superstars left

    Soon Kobe will be gone, Bron's getting older, You got Durant and Westbrook on the same team blocking each others shine. But after that, nothing, none of these other guys have that superstar quality like players had back in the early-mid 2000's.


    Kidd
    Nash
    Starbury
    Steve Francis
    Mike Bibby
    Iverson
    Bryant
    Tmac
    Pierce
    Ray Allen
    Vince Carter
    Shaq
    Duncan
    Garnet
    Dirk
    Webber
    Yao
    Billups
    That whole Detroit team
    Baron Davis
    Many more... sure I'm missing a few

    Such a GOAT time for basketball.

    Well if you're gonna count guys like Billups and Bibby then you could say Curry and Lillard are superstars too, no?

    If these are what you consider superstars then there is a whole lot more current players that would fit that mold.

    Duncan, Shaq, Kobe, Garnett, Dirk, maybe Kidd, T-Mac and maybe Webber were the only real mega-stars back then.

    Today we only have LeBron and Durant.

    And then there were tons of superstars compared to today, and they were all better.

    Dark time for star players.

    That's why I didn't mention Nash either.

    Although Iverson would have to be mentioned in that group as well

    Dude named a bunch of dudes that no one really considers superstars and then had the nerve to say it's only Durant and LeBron. The nostalgia and irrationality is hilarious.

    My dude said Mike Bibby
