Yeah I'm not calling Ja one (yet). He's in the tier below with Tatum
There's only 6-8 guys getting that stamp imo

There’s not many superstars in the league. I definitely don’t use that designation liberally. Absolutely a star

Griz have solid guys outside ja and team plays well even without him. He is a good player, but I have him a notch below guys like yanni, steph, kd, etc
Highlights and entertainment value, he is muat see

He aint though. In the future I could see him being one for sure.

This from a agent
I don't know. I have a hard time believing dudes can force trades, get coaches fired, make superteams but teams putting the stronghold on them to sit out games.

It'll be interesting to see if Melo can avoid the current Trae path/perception

What has Embiid done to be in that group that Ja hasn't? Ja's name is big. I hear more kids talking about Ja than Embiid. Ja's whole swag and flashiness gets peoples attention and he's gone further than Embiid in the playoffs.

If the non-basketball watching, fat man sitting on his couch in Alabama doesn't know who he is I wouldn't consider that person a superstar.
Ja is a great talent but I don't think he has crossed over to THAT degree.

idk about using kids mentions as argument to why Ja is in Embiid's tier
Not even an Embiid truther like that but he's been in the MVP talk for 3 straight seasons
I probably like Ja more too but there was all that talk about how good his team played without him lol
Don't seem like it's a comparison at the moment but in the future I don't see why he couldn't enter the tier

More All NBAs. All Defensive Teams. He's just been an elite player for longer than Ja
He's has having MVP type seasons b2b.
Also I don't get into the popularity thing and attention or else Joker wouldn't be a superstar at all and someone like Dame would be

So social media is why Ja is a superstar?
Well damn throw Melo on the list too then in that case.

The PG/Kawhi Clippers era made me more aware of the difference between superstars and really good players. Although their counting numbers may look similar a lot of the time, Kawhi is in a different class in terms of how he actually impacts winning.
I think you nailed the group of true superstars.

I can't get with that. Level of play combined with popularity makes you a superstar. What the public thinks definitely plays a role. That's who's buying tickets and merch. A.I was a superstar after like his Rookie year. That's the impact Ja has had.

Paul George has had a signature shoe for years. Who caresMans just got a signature shoe but he ain’t a superstar
