    He is a superstar in term of popularity, not on-court performance.

    Nothing wrong to root for a player for non-basketball reason.

    The reason many fans support their term is not for basketball reason too.
    They just love their city.

    He is popular and he has talent. I think we should all just leave it at that. Superstar, star, all star all of that is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

    A franchise player, a centerpiece you build around, untouchable in terms of trades.

    su·per·star (soo·per-stär)
    n.
    1. A widely acclaimed star, as in movies or sports, who has great popular appeal.
    2. One that is extremely popular or prominent or that is a major attraction.

    Haha! That was detailed enough. So in the definition we have Super-Star, Normal-Star, Less-Star, and a 3 Fan-Star. What's the popularity number to be in Super-Star status tho. I went to Steve Nash's FB and he had like 1.9 mil likes, and Jeremy Lin with 1.8.

    So Lin only needs 10k more likes to become a Super-Star? Maybe I'm wrong but
    I loved Sylvester Stallone and he can't act woth ****. Both of them are Super-Stars in my book.

    Well,

    In a basketball context, Lin is no superstar.

    Justin Beiber is by no means one of the best singers in the world but he's a superstar. Just saying.

    That is what I am saying. The word superstar has lost all meaning. He is a starter in the NBA, that is saying something, considering there a lot of guys that are trying to even be a 15th man.

    If your anti-Lin are really clicking on that article? I say it skewed that mostly Lin fan voted.

    Still baring injuries I would bet he make All-star due to his popularity.

    You know his name. I know his name. Almost everyone knows his name. Yes, he's a superstar in the music field.
