Kareem and Magic being on the same team and Jordan and Rodman being on the same team. Kobe and Shaq. Despite how good a player actually is, there is more to being a Superstar than impressive stats. Pretty much everyone knew who these guys were, and in today's era, I still meet a lot of people who don't know who the hell Kevin Durant is. But it's quite possible that Curry and Durant could be the next team with two Superstars. I don't consider Wade a superstar by my criteria. Melo is not a superstar, let alone "Megastar" like some of the headlines showed. Timmy D was quiet, and because of that, not a household name. I think David Robinson was a bigger star than Duncan. Now, who was a better player, that was Tim.
If I went somewhere a good ways outside of the Chicago Bulls fan area and showed non-fans a picture of Pippen, I don't think many would know who he was, but he's also close in name only recognition. Rodman... lol, yeah, the hair, the Madonna thing, the outbursts, and even now, the North Korea trips, he's an example of being a Superstar without being a perennial MVP caliber player. Even Lamar Odom couldn't get that kind of recognition.
