Carmelo = Glenn Robinson, Jamal Mashburn etc. All-star not superstar
D Wade = Not tough; injuries have slowed him physically, needs to develop his jump shot to remain in superstar debate.
Bosh = KG lite, not sure he's a superstar though he could become one.
Oden = TBD
Durant = May end up in that Mello category. Had a tough time as a rookie on a awful team. Clearly NBA starter skills, but he may be a 2nd option at best. Still TBD
I also think Dwight Howard could become a superstar; McGrady and KG still have superstar talent; KG is a superstar, but sometimes he forgets that. McGrady needs a chance to be on a great team before we close the book on him (he's not even 30 yet) but so far he has not gotten it done when it matters most.
Here's a list for discussion:
NBA's top 50 (+ = rising & - = falling)
1. Kobe Bean
2. Tim Duncan (-)
3. Lebron James (+)
