A few of those guys don't belong on that list anymore and it's clearly missing Davis.

Anthony Davis?


He's trolling. He's stupid, but not that stupid. Well, he may be that stupid, but he's also obtuse.

Forgot Paul and Griffin.

Anthony Davis? NO not yet imo. Not enough popularity/recognition.

Anthony Davis is a superstar bc he's better than most of those players on the list. Obviously he's not yet a nationwide brand from a marketing perspective, but his on-court play gives him the superstar mantle, IMO.

Steph Curry could be a Top 5 Superstar if the Warriors make a deep playoff run.

Try hard, you do, but you forgot Lillard again:

Like who?


People aint going to games when the Pels play on the road wearing Davis jerseys. That's a good sign of who is a superstar IMO.

You hit on a key point: brand recognition.

Lillard is a pimp, though.

I actually agree with Boom

I'm not sure Davis is a "superstar" yet

He will be after this season though

Yea Lillard and Curry are the next 2 guards, Davis is the next big to be a superstar.

He's leading all big-men in the Western COnference in All-Star voting. He also has a bunch of national commercials.

He's as much a superstar as most of the other guys listed.

Curry, Davis, Wall, and Lillard are all going to be superstars after this season. Especially if they have some post-season success.

Irving and Love aren't as good as those guys

And I wouldn't necessarily say he's a superstar either. I only put LBJ, KD and Kobe in that category.

But if you're including Blake Griffin or Harden, then AD gets in.

Outside of basketball fans does anyone really know who Anthony Davis is? Probably not.

To me that's what a "superstar" is

They would be classified as the tier directly below superstars. Call it whatever you wish.

I wouldn't know, because who gives a frick about gay shite like twitter

He'll be tops at his position, won national championships and world championships, has done a dozen national commercials before he's fricking 22 years old, 2 time all star before 22, etc etc

He'll be a superstar. Just because he's in a small market and doesn't have Bron Bron/World Wide Wes's PR team doesn't mean he ain't gonna be a superstar

My mother couldn't tell you the difference between Cousins and Steph Curry, but she knows who Dirk is.

My point is "brand recognition" can also be obtained over time. It doesn't guarantee you superstar status.
