No NBA superstar that has played in the last 30 years has equaled their PLAYING success as a coach or front office person-

Jerry West playsd 50 years ago- doesn't count.
The only one I can think of - and although he was a very good player, I wouldn't call him a superstar- was Joe Dumars- yeah he was voted into the Hall- but he was never a 'superstar' - in my opinion
Jordan- yuck
Bird- yuck
Isiah- LMAO
There is no one

"There is no one"
this is a hard one, but I will have to say
BYRON SCOTT
jgb said 05/28, 03:56 PM
Byron Scott.........
Has done well for himself as a coach- 2 finals appearances- that's ALL
no titles
Career 14 pts, 2.5 asst, 2 rbs.........
HARDLY a superstar-
Not even the 3rd best player on his laker title teams in the 80s
Good try- but nah

Individual
NBA Draft: 1983 / Round: 1 / Pick: 4
1983-84 NBA All-Rookie
3x NBA Champion
I think that qualifies for a superstar
or r u trying to get an easy win?
Coach
2007-08 NBA Coach of the Year
1st in Southwest
1st in Atlantic (3 times)
56-26 is a great record, especially with young team like new orleans, especially in the western conference

NBA Draft: 1983 / Round: 1 / Pick: 4 >>>>> Sam Bowie was picked AHEAD OF JORDAN......your draft pick means NOTHING
1983-84 NBA All-Rookie >>>>>>>>>> All NBA rookie ? A nice trophy....but what does that mean ?
3x NBA Champion >>>>>>>>>> he was not even the 3rd best player on his team. MAGIC, WORHY, KAREEM
I think that qualifies for a superstar >>>>>>>>>> no that means he was drafted into an AWESOME situation............
Steve Kerr has like 5 rings- is he a superstar ? NO- was a great shooter played with Jordan, Duncan & was LUCKY
Remember- the player has to be a SUPERSTAR player to qualify-
He was NOT a superstar- GOOD, SOLID, TEAM-PLAYER....yes to all.
but you weren't game planning against him

Report Offensive CommentScott was NOT a superstar when he played.
And he is a good coach- but he still hasn't WON anything.........
Career 14 pts, 2.5 asst, 2 rbs.........
how is that a SUPERSTAR?
READ THE TD- it has to be a superstar
you would put Scott on the same level as a barkley, Malone, Jordan, Bird....?

Report Offensive Commentumm Jerry West DID NOT play 50 years ago. He played from 60-61 to 73-74 which roughly coincides with my age and I am NOT 50. You may have lost the vote of all of us in our 40s! LOL

Report Offensive CommentJoe Dumars was deifnitely a superstar and wouldve been a good choice.
The Guru hopes to be back soon | 05/28/08, 06:08 PM
Report Offensive Commentthis looks like an easy win but MSD saying Scott is a superstar is simply laughable. Of course Dumars was a superstar. How is someone in the HOF and not a superstar. He has a Finals MVP and was one of the best perimeter defenders on the best defensive team in the league. No vote. this is just a bad TD.
screamindemon68 | 05/28/08, 06:13 PM
Report Offensive Commentyeah- sorry for the over 50 thing- coach- I was just trying to get im out of the debate- since he would've mesed up my argument.
And I still say Joe D - although elected to the HAll- was not a 'superstar' player.
if your argument screamin- is that he was a good perimeter defender - well so is Bruce Bowen- is he a superstar?
and as far as finals MVP- One series does not a superstar make-
his whole CAREER he only averaged 16 points per game- How is that a superstar?
jgb | 05/28/08, 09:15 PM
Report Offensive CommentOh- and how many times was Joe D all-NBA 1st team?
NEVER
(neither was Scott by the way)
I guess I'm just a tough critic

Report Offensive CommentBowen wasnt a Finals MVP nor did he ever average 20+ points a game. all those things combined make him a superstar. Also, of course he didnt make first team all nba. He played at the same time as Magic, MJ, and stockton. Like i said hes a HOFer and a superstar.
screamindemon68 | 05/28/08, 09:47 PM
Report Offensive Comment<<<<<<<<<<Sorry, but even if M-S-D did have better arguments, the throwdown title said "NBA Superstar". I wouldn't consider Bryon Scott a superstar. I'm voting for jgb.
