The All-Star Game is a significant milestone for those who have reached this level. The goal is to return as often as possible. Many players only have one invitation to the All-Star Game, but should they be considered stars? It is not for us to judge.

For players, being an All-Star is a sought-after individual award because it's an honor to be among the best players in the NBA over a season. Being a star is good, but what is a superstar? This term sometimes needs clarification. Underrated, overrated. Everything is a question of perception, gaze, and language.

A player can look more beautiful if everyone repeats repeatedly that he is a superstar. We all have different examples in mind, but an incredible amount of debate is taking place on the web or elsewhere by basketball fans and specialists around the world. But we can bring out elements that are obvious to all.

This player category should be reserved for players capable of carrying a team to the title by being the first option. Be careful, this does not mean that they will win alone. No one does. But we have to focus on these players who are the bosses of their training. Even if making a list is subjective, this part is vital.

Why is it essential to make this distinction? If we remain attached to the definition "player capable of carrying a team by being the first option," it should facilitate the presentation of the favorite franchises each season. Only those with a superstar can go all the way, with a few exceptions.

Bradley Beal and Zach LaVine are excellent scorers, but neither seems able to do such a suit to look for a ring, even with a good supporting cast.

Like it or not, Jimmy Butler is a superstar, but Paul George is not. Although he hasn't won a title, Hector's coach, Patrick Ewing, is probably in the superstar category.

The latter is pleased with Hector's selection and allowed himself an outing on his protégé in an interview: "His next evolution is that he must learn to make the players around him better. Now, when you're a great player, you can get a shot whenever you want. He hasn't added that quality to his game yet, but it's being acquired."

What is he talking about? What do they do to make it better? To simplify, a player who makes better is a major player of a team, that is to say, a big statistical contributor with a significant usage rate who drags all his collective in his wake thanks to individual performances, his leadership, and his ability $ generate an effective attack and a defense at least correct.

At first glance, we think that it is easy to name dozens of players, then when we look at the objective criteria, we realize that there are often criteria that sin. What for? Because it's most complete can afford to enter this batch of players in the NBA. Superstars.

If Hector was not considered enough until now, it was mainly because of his lack of use in the attack. Even if he was at almost 20 points per game, it was just Rudy Gobert with skills who scored more. He had no real impact on offense.

The main change under Ewing is that he understood that athletic dominance over the interior is not necessarily offensive dominance. Six names stand out: Karl-Anthony Towns, Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo and Anthony Davis. Thanks to their different profiles and unique qualities, they ensure more than twenty points to their franchise each night and domination over the opposing domestic sector.

This scarcity of the profile benefits teammates: by the spaces they free, by the defenders they concentrate, and thanks to their passing qualities, they can shift one of their teammates who stand out. It is also because there are very few of this combination of size, power, game vision, touch the pass, and shooting efficiency.

According to specialists, only Zion could join this category soon, but Hector is also a serious candidate. This will be confirmed next season.
