Which superstar do you think faces the most pressure to win a ring this season? (alien.top)

Feels like the answer is never someone who already has one so it's between guys like Tatum/Luka/Embiid/Booker/SGA

Out of that group I'd probably go with Tatum because of how stacked the Celtics are overall and how many near misses they've had(could also see Embiid but I don't think anyone truly sees the Sixers roster as championship caliber or actually expects them to win this year)

It might be because he's playing like .. a superstar

Dont get me wrong, his numbers are amazing. So does Donovon Mitchells or Trae Youngs for example. No one names him with Lebron,Luka,Embiid,Giannis,Jokic category. But when NBA makes a poster, they put him. This is just an example. People talk about him like he had a multiple deep playoff runs, he was racing for MVP, etc. Thats exactly how you make a player hated.

I understand your point. But right now it's early in the season and everything is a hyperbole. With his shooting numbers/splits, the team is on a 6 game win streak sitting top in the west so i can see why OP included him. (For the record I agree and don't think his name needed to be mentioned here)
