Guy on ESPN is wrong like you are. Harden is no longer a superstar, but he was one 5-6 years ago. Same as Durant.

Difference is Brunson is on the way up and might get there, those guys are on the way down.
And even on his way down Harden averages almost as many points (on worse shooting), more assists, rebounds, and steals than Brunson and Harden isn't exactly renowned for his defense.

Brunson is 28 years old

If he ain’t one now, he ain’t turnin into 1 in his 30’s
Since I don’t see him ever being a top MVP vote getter you’re probably right.

Not every good or even great player is a “superstar”. He is for your team and city and you are right to be excited about him. He’s just not on the level of a player people make a point to go see and follow. He doesn’t drive ratings or conversation like superstars do.

I admitted that ..

However when you hear Big Perk say he goes to another level in PS play, that means a lot.

You got Superstars , not just in BB , but baseball, look at what Judge did in WS last year …

So does Jimmy Butler...he's not a superstar either

Big Perk is a clown

Judge IS a superstar you goober...multiple MVPs and records set. He may be the biggest superstar in the game, him and Ohtani. Judge is like Giannis or Jokic level for his sport. Brunson is nowhere near that level of star

Superstars are what they are even if sometimes they don't do well in a playoff series

Jimmy Butler is known for being a playoffs beast too, he's not a superstar. Brunson isn't either.

Brunson might get there if they win a title, takes more than that though

Thibs will be retained even if the Pacers sweep them (which they won't)

Gotta remember pastsa thinks he always right.

Just imagine where the Knicks could be if he was on their coaching staff.
