A star is a good role player with a superstar, while a superstar can single handley take a team to the playoffs with average players

Star or Superstar:

Lamar Odom-star
Shawn Marion-star (those playoff woes are my concern..he is 1 hella a player tho)
Paul Pierce-superstar
Yao Ming-superstar (you'll see why next year)
Ron Artest-star
Manu Ginobili-star (overrated one at that also)
Ben Wallace-star

a star here is a good 2nd scorer and can take over games. This happens 20+games out of the season usually

Good or Star:

Charlie Villanueva-good
Jameer Nelson-good
Peja Stojakovic-star
Richard Hamilton-star
Kenyon Martin-good
Tyson Chandler-good
Josh Howard-good


good here means you can do more than 1 thing and not limited to 1 thing. They also have there 'moments'

Alright or Good:

Kyle Korver-alright
Mickael Pietrus-alright
Nate Robinson-good (he just needs more playing time really)
Kwame Brown-alright
Chris Kaman- good
Desmond Mason- good
Josh Smith-alright

by the end of the season people will realise that Jameer Nelson is better than "good" and on his way to stardom.

Jameer is one of my favorite players in the league, but he hasn't quite reached star status yet. He will, possibly this season, but as of this point he's just a good, solid player.

If we were going by what we are projecting the players to be in a few years, then I would change Charlie V to Star, I'd change Josh Howard to Superstar and I'd trade Josh Smith to star.
