1. Lebron James
2. Dwyane Wade
3. Carmelo Anthony
4. Chris Bosh
5. David West
6. Josh Howard
7. Chris Kaman
8. Kirk Hinrich
9. TJ Ford
10. Leandro Barbosa


I had him ranked above him last year. No one believed us NO fans with how good West was.... doing it in front of everyone on the big stage can change opinions fast :D

David West will never be a superstar. He's a good player, but let's be realistic here...

IMO superstar means more than just being good at basketball. It also means that the player has a great personality and mass appeal. Without those, a star player will just be a star, not a superstar. David West is a rising star, but I don't believe he'll ever reach superstar status.

And for all those people saying he won't be this good without Paul, a lot of the stuff he creates on his own.

No he's not. No he probably won't be. He might.

And Duncan is a big a superstar that we have in this league...

Superstar....no. He is a heck of a player and will be quite an offensive force in this league for years to come but i just dont know if he will ever reach superstar status

He is not quite yet a superstar, but in a few years he might be. He is solid right now.
