    Default Is Donovan Mitchell still a superstar? Cuz AR does what he does but passes better

    So what does that make Reaves?

    I tried to tell people one dimensional scorers arent the commodity they used to be.

    I told people Mitchell wasnt gonna put the Cavs over the top. Hes not very big, hes not a great passer, defender, off ball player. He takes a lot of shots and scores volume on decent efficiency. Thats not a max salary best player in a title team caliber guy.

    But you guys didnt believe me. You insisted Spida was a bonafide superstar.

    So now you have to call Reaves the same thing.

    Which you wont, youll retreat into the background and act like you never had the opinions that you did. Instead of just admitting you didnt see something the right way.



    See, this is why I expect to get paid to give opinions. Because mine are better.

    The question isn't whether Reaves is playing at a superstar level. The question is can he do it for more than 5 games.....

    I don't really think even the biggest Reaves hater would say he isn't playing like a superstar right now.

    He had a run like this last year too when Lebron and Luka were out.

    Obviously nobody AVERAGES forty over the course of the season. But Reaves' ability to score like a so-called first option isnt really in doubt at this point. If he was given the opportunity he could clearly do what other superstars do in the scoring column.

    Which is sort of my point, scoring is not rare anymore. Edgecombe just scored the most points in a debut since Wilt. Markannen just went for 50. Lots of guys in the league can score now. If they dont do much else, maybe they shouldnt be getting max deals. You really wanna pay DeAaron Fox the same as Giannis? Why?

    I just tend to see these trends coming before the crowd does. Itd be nice if you guys said thanks once in a while. Thank me for sharing useful and interesting information that you cant get in the mainstream.

    YOURE WELCOME EVERYBODY.

    Why you such a predictable idiot like GOBB?

    You’re gonna rep the white boy and he’ll stick up for every black person on the planet.

    You both are two sides to same coin.

    Y’all need more entaining gimmicks. The white vs black is so played out.

    You think GOBB is a gimmick. Haha. He should take that as an insult but he's too stupid to.

    Ummm I havent made any of those threads. This was about perception of superstar players. The fact one guy is black and one is white wasnt the point, unless you wanna argue thats what is affecting the perception, which might well be true but wasnt even the point I was making with the thread itself.

    I'm afraid youre projecting your own obsessions, and badly embarrassing yourself as usual in the process.

    Your participation on ISH is the equivalent of someone bursting into a room full of people and immediately shitting and pissing all over themselves as some kind of "statement". Thats the equivalent of what you do here.

    Just so that youre aware.

    Is Mitchell a top ten player? What is the line between star and superstar.

    In fairness to you, you were right about GOBB.

    Playing only one end of the court keeps you from being a superstar. Scoring points can make you a star. Certainly a lot more than 10 players i want on my team.
