Rob Parker: "A superstar is not just because you're an MVP or just because you won something. It's bigger than that. It's not just putting up numbers on the field or the court, it's not just winning. There are guys who have not won who are clearly superstars. The biggest one to me is Aaron Judge. Is there any doubt in your mind that he's a superstar? And he hasn't won a World Series. And he's struggled in the postseason. Lamar Jackson has struggled in the postseason, but is he a superstar? Without a question. No disrespect to Shai, but not everybody is a superstar. Him winning an NBA championship will not elevate him to that. Did he have a great year, is he a great player? Without a question. Superstar? No."
Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington explain why they struggle to see Shai Gilgeous-Alexander truly ascending to superstar status, even if he closes out his MVP season with his first NBA title. The guys break down how superstar status goes further than just on-court performance.
