    Duncan? Ginobili? Parker?

    At least one of those is a guaranteed HOFer, almost sure two of them (Ginobili also due to both his NBA and international play) and if Tony keeps playing the way he is that will become 3 HOFers.

    Plus some of those players are pretty darn good on their own even if they are older. Spurs team is stacked.

    I wouldnt say San Antonio doesnt have stars ....

    Parker is definately a star and should be in any conversation for MVP this season.

    Duncan might not be the dominant player he was earlier in his career but he still produces at a high level and gets star calls.


    Ginobli .... is a fringe star.


    These guy's arent "The hot name today" but they are star players IMO.

    Look at Duncan's stats this game those are not superstar numbers in fact he's playing kind of like a scrub.

    The only guy playing like a star right now is parker.

    All you need is the greatest power forward of all time (albeit aging)

    It's so simple!

    No superstars?
    timmy, manu, parker and durant are the only superstars that remain that I genuinely enjoy. three of those are on the spurs. =/

    I won't completely bash this tread as I think Dragic can run an offense and can piss off some of the "elite" guards like westbrick And we do have a promising parsons. Now we just need a hof Center that moonlights as a power forward and the greatest argentine of all time not named Maradona. Oh and a Tiago instead of one of our leprechauns and we're good to go! just those things.

    Yet the Heat will beat them with a healthy Bosh.

    This series can still go 7.

    How can you say Spurs have no superstars. At the very least they have elite two way players. You need to stop making threads.

    Manu is a superstar and a freak. Each year his efficiency stats go up when every other 30+ player declines.

    The Rockets wasted the Yao years with a fake superstar like T-Mac.

    If you guys think that Manu is a superstar averaging under 13 ppg this season, and Duncan who is 36 years of age and can barely jump i'm not sure what to tell you. I'd agree they might be in that 15-30 range but they aren't superstars.

    As for Parker he is playing like a superstar but before this season nobody would have ever considered him as one. He is having the best year of his career. The bottom line is that this team isn't as talented as the team they are playing the (thunder) and yet the thunder are getting obliterated.

    The op is 100% spot on, they have a team of very efficient good players but no superstars.
