    Neitherm but Kawhi is more skilled IMO so if I have to chose I'll go him. Both are good players, but I dont see either being "superstars". Unless that's not your point? Who has best shot at making an all star team? In that case I'd go Kawhi as well.

    Kawhi Leonard

    or

    Danny Green
    I don't know, but if there's an award for "coming back to earth quickly" then Danny Green won it in a landslide. I guess he was just the right player in the right spot at the right time, but once the Heat decided to, they shut him the fuck down.

    I could see Kawhi making 2 or 3 AS games. I wasn't aware he was only 21

    I guess we would have to answer what is the difference between a star player and a superstar.

    I personally like to reserve the term superstar for those who are just so far and beyond the others it's not fair. If there are more than 5+ "superstars" in a sports league at a time, I think you're being too liberal with the term.

    For example, current NBA: LeBron and Durant (I think Kobe is past his time although he obviously was a superstar; I'm not sure what to do with Rose at this point, so for now he's only a star; and Stephen Curry has to show a lot more play like this year's past playoffs to be in this catagory so he has work to do.)

    Now a star is just a player that can lead a team into the play-offs more often than not, and is regarded as one of the top few at his position in the NBA: Curry, Derrick Rose, Melo, Kobe, Chris Paul, Dwight, Duncan, Parker, Westbrook, Harden, Wade, Paul George, Dirk, etc. (As a Cavs fan I would like to think and believe Irving is a star, but I'd also like to see the Cavs in the play-offs and see how he does there.)

    So I agree that neither would be a superstar. I was speaking more from a star point of view. Can either of those two be the future of the Spurs organization and keep them relevant in the play-offs once the old guard (Ginobili, Duncan and to some extent Parker) are done?

    This.got blown out of proportion. He walked in and lebron came over to him. He didnt PARTY WITH the heat.

    I just saw the article on Twitter a little bit ago. I mean he knew LeBron for years, I don't see the issue. I just wonder what perception certain teammates might get.

    What club? I bet half the city of Miami called off work today.

    Half the city is unemployed, so I am sure they did.

    Oh I agree. Perception is bad.

    You found that funny?
  • Azubuike24
    Not so much the video itself, but that I saw it shared by 3 different people in the last few hours on Facebook from LeBron haters calling him a d-bag. I found THAT funny...how anything the guy does or says draws the ire of someone.

    Any clip you posted of Amanda Bynes would draw comments of her being a drugged out nutjob, regardless of how sane the video may be. Because she is.
