Inconsistency and controversy over Kyrie's mouth and actions.. The main reason is because basketball is a team sport and everything he is valued for has to do with his individual skillset. But he is more of a detriment than an asset to a team structure. If you think about every compliment towards Kyrie, it's about his individual game. But we rarely cover wins because of his performance. Jumping teams also hurt his reputation along with his comments about Jewish people.

I think this is showing that they cant.

And Luka jersey sales at 6 is amazing. Dude is a superstar that's going to be a megastar. He is insanely popular overseas and is now incredibly popular hear aswell. And many folks might not find his game as attractive as a uber athlete but that's what will make him a megastar, ability to somewhat relate cause most people aren't freak athletes and play his style outside or in gyms. When Curry was just shooting threes from 2009 to about 2014 nobody could have predicted dude would be a megastar and yet here we are. He is relatable and now everyone wanna play like Curry. Gil hates foreign players so much. Greek Freak is a mega star, his Nike shoes selling really well (especially for a big that plays his style) proves it and he has been in top 5 jersey sales last few years.

You spitting a lot of facts.. my only push back would be your take on Luka being more relatable than super athletic guys.. I disagree.. he’s 6’8-6’9.. that’s not relatable at all

[@EAmotion]

@@10eightyprince yeah his height definitely an advantage most don’t have, but if we being honest most people we play at the gym with, at the park or a rec league usually aren’t that size but I have seen so many people play like him (ofc not at his level) that it’s just a more familiar style if u ever used to play or still do. I have only played maybe 5 times in my life with someone where I thought omg this is NBA level athleticism. And no matter what you do or how many squats you do or calf raises, you gotta be born with that. But yeah that being said Luka is like 6’7 and rather quick for his size compared to an avg player. It’s like how Curry might be relatable, but there’s nobody that shoots like him and he like 6’2 also lol.

Anyone else realize all da players in da trash in da thumbnail r overseas players😂

[@kevvvincarroll]

Their most definitely is a Star, a Superstar and a Megastar. I’d say Bron, Curry and maybe KD are the only Megastars right now. Those are the guys you’d see on Good Morning America. Where grandmas that don’t watch the NBA know of.

[@Dayxh8]

Durant definitely is too without a doubt but yeah those are the only Megastars.

[@3self]

With that logic if my grandma doesn't know Lebron , he's not a mega star.

[@kevvvincarroll]

@@3self yeah you clearly don’t comprehend too well. 9 times out of 10 if you ask someone who knows absolutely nothing about NBA and doesn’t pay attention to it at all, if they do mention a name it would be one of those 3. Their are well known off the court more than any other players in the league. That’s why they would be considered Megastars

[@caleb271able]

Exactly I remember for a period of time when KD was in okc every young kid hooped in KD shoes, wore shirts, shorts, socks and had his backpack he’s definitely all about BASKETBALL he’s a megastar Gil cap saying Tatum jumping folks with no MVP N CHIP

[@masta_wayne]

I believe this is the first season Bron has declined, given it’s very slightly, but he definitely is still an allstar. Maybe doesn’t deserve the captain or even starter spot but for sure a reserve. He should get it the rest of his career

[@steph4032]

Declined averaging 25,7,7 make it make sense😂😂

[@justanobody0]

but the qualifications for super mega star doesn't have to do with basketball performance anyways, it's about how many shoes you can sell and jerseys Gil even said the other day Steve Francis could hypothetically average 13 ppg and he's a superstar, so it's not about scoring and Gil said the reality is Jokic just isn't a superstar Jokic can be arguably the best player in the league, and win a championship but that doesn't make him a mega superstar

Alot of the international players are Mega stars due to their home / global crowd... Jokic, Luka, and Giannis are as big as LeBorn and/or Curry on a global scale hence their Jersey sales. Yao Ming was a MEGA star in China and so was T-Mac
