I already put who I think are legit superstars right now. Kobe is coming close to being out of superstar status, and Dwight Howard is knocking on the door (if he could just get a post up game).

I agreed with a lot of your post up until this point. Boozer puts the ball on the floor way too much, he just turns the ball over too much. I like Scolas intensity, but Bosh owns him.

The Heat will not win the Championship next year. They need more depth.

Kobe will be a superstar as long as he plays.

I'm not a huge Kobe fan but this statement just seems crazy unless the next level of this odd superstar classification system is Legend.

Amare


After seeing Bosh play with Lebron & Wade and seeing Amare sans Nash your ranking of Amare over Bosh may change.

Correct. Or aging all-pro. Superstars should be the top players at close to the top of their game. In two years, theres no way Kobe could still be considered top 5 in the game.

Not so much in scoring but in toughness and rebounding. LeBron and Wade without Bosh could easliy score 25+ ppg each. With Bosh that scoring will dip to all 3 averaging about 20 to 22 ppg. What the Heat need is not more scoring but players to do other things besides such. The Heat could have had a team to rival the 90's Bulls but to do so needed what the Bulls had great interior defense and rebounding. Bosh can do alright in rebounding but his interior Defense is horrible. This team will get destroyed by the Lakers if the Lakers make it to the finals 100% healthy.

As for Heat depth, I think with Miller and Haslem they are close. Most teams would love to have those guys starting, and they may be coming off the bench.

Because $20 million a year to play a sport is ridiculous. If you disagree you disagree.

They are paid what they deserve considering the income they bring in for the owners.

not even close to a superstar......those guys not only have game but generally have some charisma or personality....Bosh only has some game but there are other players I would take first.

Link? NBA franchises are notorious for not bringing in huge profits. This is mainly because of the absurdly high contracts they pay the players.

Jordan was a superstar up until his last game.

Distinction.

Superstars can lead their team to the playoffs with a minimal supporting cast

All stars can not.

Bosh is an all star.

1) The team is not complete, so there's no way you can say this

2) It doesn't matter who they fill the rest of the roster with, they are not getting "destroyed" by anybody.

3) 0% chance the Lakers make it to the Finals 100% healthy anyway.
