Pau Gasol Is A Superstar?

[DetroitPistonFan]

Gasol is good and is All-Star but not a Superstar. A Superstar is Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Garnett and Duncan. Some people here really believe Gasol is a Superstar. Do you really believe Gasol is a Superstar?

[Hiei]

That depends on what you mean by superstar... He is not a first option player, but he sure is one of the best second options.

[Scribbles]

No. He's probably only a superstar in Spain

[Tito Beasley]

umm, "superstar" is just a media characterization.

It's not an actual title you can have, like an All-star.


And can you explain to me why Gasol is any less valuable than Kobe or Wade? I'm sorry but only idiot fans think that. In actual terms of helping a team win, he is not.

Dumbass fans are just mesmerized by kobe's jab-step spinning fall-away three that he makes at a 32% rate or Wade's high flying dunks and shoe commercials because those are flashy and get shown on sportscenter more than Gasol's 11 rebounds, or timely passes, or altering shots with his length. I guess that's not "sexy" enough to be superstar material.

But bigs > smalls. Prime Gasol, Duncan, and Garnett are ALL >>>> Kobe

prime gasol is not better than kobe. i agree with you on kg and duncan....but gasol? come on man. not even close.

gasol did not even win a single playoff game in his time in memphis. kobe was able to win 4 games in 2 years playing with less help than gasol had in memphis.

kobe's PER is better. kobe is better in the clutch. i could go on and on about win shares, mvp awards shares......trust me...its not close.

Read the topic. We're not talking about who the best player in the league is

[Micku]

Gasol isn't popular enough. At least not over here in the US.

Is Bosh a superstar?

[Go Getter]

Superstar? No.

Star player? Yes.

lol @ "4 games in 2 years"

also, gasol was not in his prime in memphis. he's in his prime right now.

and playoff wins have to do with teams. so i'm not sure why you use that to compare two individuals. unless that's the extent of your analytical ability.

derek fisher > pau gasol ?

I think this thread has proven that Tito is insane and possibly a hillbilly
