re: Who is the next NBA "Superstar"?

along with the ones youve mentioned, id prob throw in Derrick Rose, Carmelo, and maybe Dwight Howard into the mix. CP3 is def a superstar in my eyes. So in conclusion, there are maybe 10 in the whole league

That's what I'm not sure of.

In order I'd say Lebron, Durant, Kobe, Duncan (him and Kobe because of what they've done), CP3, Blake Griffin, Melo, Rose (would be higher if he hasn't been injured), Dwight Howard, Paul George and maybe Steph Curry. I think the list has to stop after that. Kevin Love would be better than every other player on the list but it would be absurd to remotely classify him as a superstar. I have no problems with CP3 being a superstar, but after that I think it gets questionable. A superstar not only transcends the game, but the league in general. For example I could understand Duncan not being classified as a superstar even though he is the best power forward to ever play the game because he doesn't transcend the league in the same way that so many others do.
