NBA can’t create new stars because they force love instead of making players earn it. 

LeBron was hated by NBA media from the time he was drafted until midway through his Miami stint — never got the respect he deserved. 

Now, Shai and Anthony Edwards get superstar love despite not accomplishing anything yet.

Shai gets superstar calls that's for sure.

Jokic is an exception that earned his spot with 3 MVPs, but he's not marketable enough because he doesn't care about the hype. Just wants to get back to Serbia in the offseason.

The end of LeBron and Steph will leave a big gap. Hoping for Lakers v Warriors in the playoffs.
