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

This right here is one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard. So you can lead the league in points, rebounds, FG %, be unstoppable, and not be a "superstar" because you don't have as many endorsements as Player 99.

well yeah...A Superstar is also popular off the court. He can be one of the best in the NBA an all-star and still no one outside of hardcore fans will know who he was.

he gives us rebounding which we need more than anything else we get from bosh. plus we don't sacrifice any shooting because he can hit threes like bosh can. defensively he wouldn't really be able to play center though. so we'd prolly have to start birdman or :gag: Anthony.
maybe that would fukk it up. but still he is better than bosh.
Bosh being able to switch pick-and-rolls on defense against perimeter players is one of the strongest parts of Miami's D. You're not getting that with these other power forwards in the league, definitely not with Kevin Love.

Wow some of y'all act like Kevin Love skeeted on your daughters baby seat while fukkin your girl. I have heard more arbitrary reasons as to why he isn't a top level star, that I have for any other player on here. Dude avg. 26/13rb his last healthy season and looks to be on pace for a similar season. Again if they make the playoffs, he'll be an MVP this year. No one was talking that ying/yang when T-Mac was playing and had little playoff success. Some people said he was better than Kobe.

Arguing over semantics such as Star Vs Super Star is stupid. The question should be, is Kevin Love an Elite Player?

Yes he fukin is, period.

more than likely if you lead the league in all those categories and are unstoppable, you're gonna be a superstar...superstars are some of the best, if not the best ballers in the league...but yes, your impact off the court does play a part in it....

the thing that's fukking people's perception up is players are getting superstar money but aren't superstars...ex: joe Johnson, paul George, deron Williams, james harden, etc...

He's hit game winners, he's clutch. He's the best pf in the league right now.
He may very well be the best power forward in the league when healthy but he's not the best player on a title winning team. If he was that great he would have willed the Timberwolves to the playoffs by now. Great players with worst rosters have done it.
