Who is your favourite non-superstar player in the NBA?

[Clock]

I'm surprised no one said Vrejao...

[RapsPlayoffs]

I'm surprised no one said Vrejao...

i dont like him, sometimes he gets too much respect from officials, when its a blocking foul it gets called a charge.
but still, i would love to have a guy like him on our team

[Effekt]

I have to say Brandon Roy. He is my favorite rookie this season.

[maes]

SAM PERKINS.

[Riot]

I'm sorry but Jason Richardson and Andre Igoudala are not superstars. Are they good players? Yes. They have a ton of talent and they will be all-stars very soon. However, to be a superstar you have to be something out of the norm. You have to be unique and obviously above all else. There are very few superstars in the league, only about 4 or 5 maybe. Sometimes the word "superstar" is thrown around way too liberally and it really takes the SUPER out of it.

As for my favorite role players, guys like Trenton Hassell and Sam Cassell come to mind.

delonte west, josh smith

[DanteDolge]

Antonio McDyess Luther Head

[JJ_Weir]

John Salmons and Tyrus Thomas

[blahga]

i like derek fisher and robert horry

[Dan's Brain]

They have a ton of talent and they will be all-stars very soon.

I can't see J-Rich being an All-Star unless he was traded East to a winning situation. If he stays in Golden State, he'll be overrun and outscored by Monta Ellis next season.


To the question at hand, i'll say Kirk Hinrich, Tyrus Thomas, Luol Deng, David Lee and Ryan Gomes.

I loooove Nene, but it wont be long before he's a superstar, he should be a top candidate for MIP.
Others:
Linas Kleiza
JR Smith
Steve Blake
Najera
I don't go for Nuggets

[benji]

he should be a top candidate for MIP.

Nene: 16.0/9.9/2.6 -> 18.0/10.4/1.9
Others mentioned...
Martin: 16.3/5.5/2.0 -> 23.3/4.8/2.5
D. Williams: 15.0/3.4/6.2 -> 17.9/3.4/10.1
A. Parker: 12.3/5.8/2.2 -> 14.2/4.8/2.5
Z. Randolph: 20.9/9.3/2.3 -> 26.5/11.3/2.4
A. Iguodala: 13.0/6.2/3.3 -> 18.2/5.7/5.7
B. Gordon: 21.7/3.5/3.9 -> 26.1/3.8/4.4

[btam2]

Kevin Martin
Luol Deng
Tyrus Thomas
Tyson Chandler

Where'd you pull those numbers from? and i didn't say he should win, i said he should be a top candidate i'd put him:
1.Gordan
2.Martin
3.Williams
4.Iguodala
5.Randolph
6.Nene

[benji]

Where'd you pull those numbers from?

Um, the many sites that provide NBA statistics?

and i didn't say he should win, i said he should be a top candidate

And I didn't say anything in regards to that, I was just mentioning some other MIP candidates since they had been mentioned and whether or not they were "superstars" was discussed.

[deihatein]

My most entertaining non-superstar to watch are:

Darko Milicic (he should be a star becasue he is in part of the famous draft. If he just play good ball when he is in Detriot)
Jameer Nelson
Jason Kapono
Earl Boykins
Steve Francis(that this count? i think he is not a star anymore)

[Num33Baller]

Yeah francis isn't a star anymore... lol

[1CenT]

Grant Hill, he is great, efficient, and he really got sum bball IQ, when hes on the floor, theres like another PG

QRich, i like how he used to post up , him & Darius =)

Jose Calderon, i think he is really good, i bet his per 40 minutes stats are great

Corey Mag & JRich

[DanteDolge]

flip murray

[NBAFanatic23]

Richard Jefferson.

[cheater1034]

I pick Sasha Pavlovic, Jason Kapono, Desmond Mason, Anderson Varejao

I'm surprised no one said Vrejao...

i dont like him, sometimes he gets too much respect from officials, when its a blocking foul it gets called a charge.
but still, i would love to have a guy like him on our team

ehh, rarely - usually it's the right call, I'd say more often than that though it's the other way around (he gets called for a block when it's really a charge)

[mAgoTT50]

david lee
ricky davis #31
jr smith
Kris Humphries

[DanteDolge]

Amir Johnson

[Lamrock]

I would add Horry to the list also.

[Jackal]

I'm so sleepy I read "I would add Horny to that list too."

I actually scrolled up to see why you were talking about being horny.
