Well said. I think people are too quick to blame players if their team doesn't win. As if it is that player's fault

One-dimensional, inefficient, streaky shooter, doesn't stretch the floor (30% from deep for career), black hole on offense, severe lack of effort/care on defense, no leadership qualities, etc. etc.

says the guy who sticks up for kevin martin every chance he gets

I guess it depends how many players you're trying to include in that 'superstar' category. He's top 10 in the league but I can never truly consider him a superstar after what happened against the warriors in the first round in 07. If you truly an mvp, superstar...etc you don't lose to a 8th seed and get locked up by stephen jackson, looking like you scared to shoot in the opponents building.

He's also had tons of help the last few seasons and yet, the Mavs have been more pretender than true contender. I feel like he's better as a super #2 ala Gasol

How did LeBron's teams regress?

Finals, Conf finals, semis.....

And let's not even get into the argument on how Melo got jerked out of the ROY. He put up better numbers than Bron AND his team had a winning record AND made it to the playoffs while the Cavs didn't.

I almost forgot about that! Bron already had the ROY in hand even before he played a single NBA game, I'm not saying he wasn't deserving but Melo should at least been co ROY like Grant Hill and JKidd was.

My biggest issue with NBA fans and critics is that, they very rarely open their eyes and recognize the importance that circumstance and luck plays into the career of an NBA player.  

Co-sign 100%. Especially when people bring rings into the argument over who is a better player.

Every chance? I did it once because you made a ******ed statement based on your own idiotic assumptions. And neither Carmelo Anthony nor Kevin Martin is a superstar.
