^ so he wasn't a star because carmelo anthony and lebron james were bigger?lets go back to 96' allen iverson and stephon marbury outshined kobe bryant his rookie year...but that doesn't mean kobe wasn't a star that yearso because he wasn't the first option on his team, he can't be considered a superstar?lets go back to 96'la lakers. number one option Shaquille O'neal, number 2/3 options nick van exel/ eddie jones....kobe bench...again like i said, Dwyane Wade broke out and became a superstar his rookie year
wow do you even watch basketball? espn dedicated a whole thing about the draft class of 2003-2004 where wade melo and bron were all illuminated as superstars, yes melo and bron were hyped more but wade was a star after his rookie season there is no doubt about that. same with kobe (can't beleive you'd argue against this ..."laker fan") everyone was on both of their jocks, kobe killed it in the rookie game, remember the uproar in LA because kobe wasn't dubbed co MVP of the rookie game? remember how everyone was on his jock after the dunk contest , remember how he was treated when del harris would play him off the bench for jones, remember when people in the media started demanding he be started with jones at sg and kobe at sf. yeah again nik please stfu , wade was a superstar after his rookie season , same with kobe. you're tyring to act like they were mike miller or somethin'
you are now dubbed a "laker fan"
so that's the definiton of a superstar huh? care to back that up with some kind of facts supporting that claim or definition. magic johnson wasn't a superstar his first year then? i don't know how someone could get a shoe contract with adidas their rookie season if they're not a superstar . i don't know how someone could get selected to an olympic team without being some kind of superstar. superstar doesn't mean nba all star NIK. chris paul is an nba superstar bro like it or not
again NIK where are these rules set in stone? you're drawing these conclusions from NBA ballerz a fucking 3rd rate basketball video game. where are these rules applied. and if these rules are set in stone then erase michael jordan and magic johnson as superstars in this league after their rookie seasons.

I never even played NBA Ballerz and had no clue those were the levels in the game, that just goes to show ya it's something any basketball fan should know. you don't come right in the league and automatically become a superstar...There might be some rare exceptions, but Kobe and Wade definitely never broke those in their rookie season, and neither did Chris Paul...LOL@thinking superstar is not the highest status achieved, which takes time to reach...Anyone who knows the game knows this.

Dwayne Wade was on an olympic team, kobe bryant stormed all star week end, he heard kobe kobe kobe every city he was in, he landed a major shoe deal, wade helped win a playoff game , was all over espn, magazine covers, Dwayne Wade was a known name in the sports world his rookie season, Kobe Bryant was a known name in the sports world his rookie season. 4. superstar status isn't the highest level a player attains....hall of fame status is the highest level. Chancey is an NBA superstar....but he's not a hall of famer
LMAO at NIK for being a clown.
