"Superstar" is a much fuzzier term than "All-Star". All these guys are all-stars. I think: who is bringing fans out when they play on the road? Who's highlights is Sportscenter teasing? Who is Nike cranking out ads with? Who do kids around the world know about? You're talking, Shaq, Magic, Kobe, MJ, Bird, LeBron, Steph.
Some of these guys are all-time great basketball players, but I don't think any of these guy are "superstars", though Nash and Griffin were close at their peaks.
Hill was damn near that level for a few years. Then he got hurt.
Hill was going to be the next face of the league til he got hurt.
