Traditionally, the impact of star players in the NBA jumps off the screen.
Whether it’s Karl-Anthony Towns scoring 60 points, Luka Donu010diu0107 blending scoring and playmaking at the highest level, or Giannis Antetokounmpo gliding down the floor for a monster dunk or rejection, All-NBA players typically pop in ways that few athletes in other sports do.
Once you move past the clear-cut stars, a common phrase you’ll here is for everyone else to be “a star in your role.” It seems pretty self-explanatory. The true stars on a given team handle most of the playmaking and scoring, while the surrounding players fill in the gaps to complement them.
