2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Not to me.

Ja before Lillard today.

I love watching Dame. But I think he is that next tier down.

Defintely above those other guys what’s his name listed as superstars.

As is SGA

To me a Lillard is still a superstar, he performs every time I watch him anyway.

There are stars, all stars, and superstars....but then there's also that other rung of the echelon....

.....Champions....especially those with more than 1 ring, and who've been at the other 3 levels.

So you find a random list somewhere with a bunch of guys nobody thinks is a superstar?

Some eras didn’t have more than 2-3 superstars.

Today we have more than probably ever before.

But still about 8. Maybe 9.

In no order:

LeBron
Luka
Durant
Embiid
Jokic
Curry
Giannis
Tatum
Ja Morant

And a couple of those are debatable

I don’t have Ja above Dame.

That Clips - Nugs game later will be interesting to watch and to see how Denver responds at home in the 2nd of a b2b after getting drubbed in Memphis yesterday.

I don’t have Ja above Dame.

In terms of impact I would agree.

JA moves the needle in other ways though. Maybe the most exciting player to watch in the league.

That counts for something.

Doris Burke is getting just a bit too excited....lol

In the eye of the beholder I guess, he is nowhere near that for me.

My exact list…

But still, what the hell is wrong with you!

NBA superstar . Log onto it . It’s the first list that comes up. I’m not looking for any particular persons opinion /list.

Bookers on the first 2 lists I saw,

The list is from resources across entire web.

Maybe you should make the list and put it on line ….GEEZ

 

[msgkings322]

It's wild to me that some teams have played 4 more games than others

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Dubs are now in a drought.

I miss their 3rd qtr scoring outbursts they used to put up on any given night.

Too bad Zion is never on the floor…he could be on that list. Agree with all these.

A couple points, I think at one point Trae was close but he is only a star and I don’t see him knocking on the door anymore. Maybe Kawhi gets back on this list by year end but you were right not to include him here imo

 

[Shanemansj13]

Need to add Lillard to that list, in my opinion

At one point Lillard was on this list. Not anymore imo

 

[Shanemansj13]

I don’t have Ja above Dame.

I can see your view. I guess Ja would be the only one that you could take off that list. Ja and Dame are borderline superstars, both could be labeled as stars. I think Ja is closer though. Lillard was on this list, you can’t include him anymore imo. You can get your team to the playoffs (I realize how weird that roster has been recently) you can be labeled a superstar.

 

[msgkings322]

Jordan Poole killing us again with his 3 point shittiness (1-8)

That dude should only shoot 3s in rhythm getting a pass. He should be almost always attacking.

 

[msgkings322]

A couple are on the way out of superstar status though, IMO.

Curry and LeBron still there, but probably not too much longer.

KD is another that will age out soon.

We got tornadoes flying in February

 

[msgkings322]

Klay with the ridiculous turnaround corner 3 off the dribble, heavily guarded, as the shot clock expired

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Dubs were down 12 just a few min ago...but have come back to tie it up.
Under 5 to go in the 4th.
96 all.

 

[msgkings322]

Great D this quarter

DDV with a terrific game

Doing the 3rd quarter thing in the 4th

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

There's that Dubs 3rd qtr explosion we needed....but it's in the 4th.
