which is why I'm still scratching my head at woodsons decision to leave cope and novak on the bench..

if it was up to me, 80% of my roster would and should be able to hit a 3 pointer

I truly believe this is why we lost game 6

I think Melo is right there behind them. If the knicks can fill the remaining 5-9 slots with better players the knicks will be on there way

I consider a superstar a player who will likely lead you to the playoff regardless of the supporting cast (as long as its not absolutely horrible.) From there its about who you put next to them. So...

Lebron
Durant

Kobe
CP3
Westbrook
Harden
Melo
Curry
Wade
Rose
Duncan
Parker

and maybe Dwight

are the superstars in this league i consider. But it is all just opinion.

Magic made an important point that I never noticed before...Role players don't usually play well on the road...Stars have to win it on the road...Green's explosion was at home...Battier's explosion was at home..Stevenson played better in Indiana..

Also, the team with the stars got to the finals and ultimately won...Spurs had 3 stars as well..

Unfortunately for the spurs, pop was out coached the last 2 games.
