Are you saying Melo isn't a superstar? Or am I missing something here?
That's precisely what I'm saying.

He's saying Carmelo isn't a superstar. And he's right. But who the f*** cares. He'd be the best player we've had here since you know who. Carmelo+legitimate coach+legitimate cast could very well equal out to superstar.
I agree. Carmelo Anthony is a tremendous one-on-one player. But he does not contribute enough in other facets of the game (though his rebounding has improved) to make his teammates better. Superstar is an overused term that people are quick to apply to anyone who can score the basketball. But dominance at the professional level is about more than merely putting the ball in the basket, as most NBA players were among the leading scorers on their teams in high school or college or both. Be that as it may, Carmelo Anthony would give the Bulls a viable scoring option in the fourth quarter, something they've not had since Michael Jordan. Derrick Rose had his moments but was rendered ineffective against bigger defenders. Anthony can get his shot off against virtually any player in the league.
