Who is your favorite non superstar of all time?

[Bologna Smasher]

John Wallace? Damn that’s random as hell.

He had a pretty good college career. He was also pretty popular during his college days in the New York area, so it's understandable.

I think every area has those sort of players. I remember back in the 90s and early 2000s, guys like Melvin Levett (who?) and Ruben Patterson had a big fanbase in the Cincinnati area. Kentucky had guys like Ron Mercer, Scott Padgett and Jeff Sheppard (again, who?).

Lol Melvin "the Levitator" Levett wow that was really a callback to early 2000's he had ups! Took me back to the Kenyon Martin and Chris Porter days!

Danny Fortson was another one. I remember all the kids at my school wanting his rookie cards back in the day.

Kevin Martin

Even with the elbow-out, Tuxedo shooting form he was special, but was never a major draw

Another guy who comes to mind that borderline doesn't qualify is Antonio McDyess. Before his injuries, he was arguably a budding superstar. He adjusted very well to being a role player and was a great teammate

I loved McDyess and this is also when we knew KG wasn’t about that life. He can pick on small white players but he run like a chicken in this clip.

For my Pacers probably Jeff Foster (he was the perfect pro. Always worked and played hard, did his job) and Lance Stephenson.

In general? I really loved Boris Diaws basketball IQ. He was such an integral part to the spurs success in the early 2010s.

Jerome Junk Yard Dog Willams. It was mostly the nickname and I liked his hustle and personality.

Pau Gasol he is the best FIBA player ever (and a top 10 in his prime)...but you don't consider him a superstar right?

Ron Lee, Suns

In a promotion that was about as 1970s as they get, they had a contest where the person who guessed how many time Lee was on the floor during the season with the Suns (The Ronnie Lee Floor Score) won a waterbed.

Post-OKC Kevin Durant

I love all the 3 and D Wing types and personally would rather have those types on my team than the high volume scoring wings.

Mine is a tie between Bruce Bowen and Shane Battier

Tim Hardaway

Tim Hardaway was the man!

I think we all smelled P-Valley when Anthony Peeler popped KG @2:50 and "he ain't do nothin'" lol

Boris Diaw when he was with the Suns. The season when Amare was out, he was doing all kinds of wizardry with the ball playing point as a big man.

I'm a fan just for this moment it inspired alone:

Besides Jason Williams, Ricky Rubio. He brought me here to follow NBA. And thanks to that I discovered Jason Williams (probably not an acknowledged superstar). And thanks to Rubio also, I began to root for what they called at that time "the Ricky Rubio improved 2.0 version" at the age of 13, Luka Doncic, (who is out the list because he maybe is a already a superstar).
