Is Kevin Love a superstar ?

[Rose'sACL]

Has Love ever made the playoffs? I don't think he has. That's one of my personal requirements for being a "superstar".

he would if he played in the east of this year. didn't bulls make playoffs with record of 30-52 and 38-44 when jordan was new to the league?

Yeah, MJ, did make it to the playoffs with less than impressive records, that's true. Doesn't change the fact when he got there he had a few superstar performances. Love has yet to make the playoff and has yet been given the opportunity to perform on the stage where the superstar title is actually earned.

Depends on what you consider a 'superstar'.

I'd consider only James and Durant sure fire superstars. Paul has a good case.

If we're going to lower the bar, then sure you can consider Love one. Only thing still really lacking is his defense (which I consider very important for a big man), but he is around the top on offense.

I agree with this...Id add also that since he doesn't post up enough, he doesn't draw double teams which is why he doesn't make his teammates better....Having said that, I still think he's a top 5 player in this league...

Love is, unquestionably, better than them.

Love is not better than LaMarcus. No way

[Cone]

No, not at all. A stat padder who has no impact on the game is not a superstar. Even Rubio and Pekovic are more important to that team than Love.

Anthony Davis, LMA, and Dirk, are all better than KLove

Stop the overrating.

List the 10.

LBJ, KD, CP3, PG, Duncan, Dirk, LA, Beard, Melo, Wade, Westbrook.
I would probably still put Dwight ahead, and Kobe for that matter, as the sample size wasn't enough to put him somewhere in the 20s already.
So we have what, 11-13 guys better than him, he has case over two of them max.

EDIT: Forgot curry, so definitely 12 better guys, and more honorable mentions avid Lee, Bosh, Griffin

[Cold soul]

Nope, not at all. Love is little overrated who puts up pretty good numbers, but can't lead his team to playoffs.

Averages more points on better efficiency while destroying him on the boards, much better passer. Both are not traditional bigs and mostly offensive. There is no argument outside team wins.

Much better PER, better TS% while scoring more, etc

@ this being a question

Team wins are important. If you switch Love and Lamarcus, would they have about the same records? Non rhetorical question, as I think they are about the same, but I think Ive seen more from Lamarcus this year. Biased as the trailblazers are actually a team where people including me watch.

Yes, that very good, but you forgot that you don't play basketball for stats. Every role player can have a 20 ppg season, but that won't lead the team anywhere.
So far Love is 0-6 to get to the playoffs, that's the definition of a loser. Lamarcus actually is a great offensive threat and a respectable defender, rarely chokes.

Hmmmmm, whats the team record? All I can remember is Love screwing games up in the clutch, he is a star, but not a superstar.

LeBron
Durant
CP3
Westbrook
Curry
Parker
LaMarcus
Dwight
Paul George


are all better than Love
