naw, he's not a superstar...he's star status cause he's a good player on a bad team....

on a side note: the term superstar is being thrown around too loosely....there are only around 5 superstars in the league right now...there are a bunch of stars, but not superstars...but it seems if you just call someone a star, they feel disrespected....

no

dude is a jump shooting undersized power forward......look for Minni to come back to earth and finish in their usual position a the bottom of the West.

Love is NOT a star let alone superstar. I don't care what numbers he averages. Let me see him execute one post move before I crown him. To me he's nothing more than a glorified Kyle Korver that can rebound.
But I bet if he come to the Lakers y'all would be sucking his dikk just like Dwight

maybe bad was the wrong term cause they got talent...aight , i'll put it like this: they're not bad, but they aint contending...they are middle of the road, with a potentially good future

So you don't consider Kyrie Irving a superstar?

Love is definitely an elite player. It's not right that he gets punished for being on a team that has stunk for the better part of 10 years. If the Wolves had better management, he could have been playing with Steph Curry and Demarcus Cousins.

Superstar status should be reserved for the best of the best. Players in the top 3/5 are superstars. If you aren't on that level you aren't a superstar.

basically...and even then, it's more than what you do on the court that makes you a 'superstar'....

He's not superstar but he's the second star on a title winning team I think. He'll get you 25 12 in his sleep but I don't know if he's the type of player who you can put the ball in his hands at the end of the game and hope he wins it for you. Those type of players are few and far between with the likes of Bron Kobe Wade Duncan (though they are getting older) KD CP3 Rose and maybe Melo who you can say are true superstars in the league who can lead a team to the title as the number one player. So that takes away nothing away from Love who would be a very good second option on a Finals team who could mask his defensive inefficiency.

He's hit game winners, he's clutch. He's the best pf in the league right now.
