I think superstar should be based on popularity more than talent or skill level. Lebron, curry and durant are definitely superstars but player that are/could be considered top 10 like sga or Jokic aren’t superstars because they don’t have that household name factor. My grandma should be able to recognise your name to be considered a superstar. I don’t think lamelo is quite there yet. He has the young audience fs but idk how many old people have heard of him. But idk why jimmys agent is talking when Jimmy ain’t one either
