So what impressed you about Paul to put him a level above Dwight Howard?
What is impressive?

Orlando is now 37-22, and have played arguably one of the toughest schedules in the NBA. Not far behind the N. O. Hornets, while some would say that Orlando has played the tougher Schedule (Considering we do play in the East)).

Kobe is not having Jordan's PPG because Kobe isnt selfish as Michael Jordan. He plays for the team where as Jordan played only for himself.

Re: Superstars.....or not
Ok, can somebody please explain to me how in the world people can not consider Allen Iverson a superstar? Please, somebody do explain because it just doesn't make sense to me. This guy has been a top player in the league for a decade, has always been one of the leading scorers, a perennial All-Star, won the MVP, has one of the top selling jerseys year after year, after year after year, and is recognizable all over the planet, yet you guys do not recognize as a superstar? YOu have got to be kidding me. I mean I have nothing but love for Paul and Dwight Howard, Howard being my favorite player, but still, these guys are young, they're going to megastars, but you can't put them in the list and leave Iverson out.
On a sidenote I think McGrady should be a superstar, I mean everybody knows him, his jersey sales in China are better than Yao's, and do you guys remember how McGrady used to have these epic battles with Kobe back in the day, and was even considered better by a lot of people, and even as recently as last year, McGrady was a MVP candidate for leading the Rockets to a respectable record while Yao was out, just because he faded back this year (a little) all of you have forgotten how he took Dallas and Detroit to a 7 round series back in the day?

Re: Superstars.....or not
Top 10 Superstars
1.LeBron James
2.Kobe Bryant
3.Allen Iverson
4.Shaquille O'Neal
5.Kevin Garnett
6.Tracy McGrady
7.Dwayne Wade
8.Tim Duncan
9.Jason Kidd
10.Paul Pierce
imo superstars are guys that you would pay any amount of $$$. they are all either proven themselves in the playoffs or they are constantely on our tvs as the most marketable guys in the league. basically they put people in the seats.
10 Borderline Superstars
1.Dirk Nowitski
2.Yao Ming
3.Dwight Howard
4.Carmelo Anthony
5.Baron Davis
6.Vince Carter
7.Amare Stoudemire
8.Jermaine O'Neal
9.Steve Nash
10.Tony Parker
borderline guys imo are guys that you would pay to see in person but it isnt the slam dunk like going to see a true superstar.
5 Future Superstars
1.Deron Williams
2.Brandon Roy
3.Chris Paul
4.Kevin Durant
5.Greg Oden
these 5 are the most likely imo to be the next genuine superstars of our league. they are either not well known due to playing in a small market or they havent gotten that playoff exposure with the exception of Williams. they also havent been in the league long enough AND played at a high consistent level to be called a true superstar.

I guess because people are quick to jump on the next big thing.
I wouldn't put Dwight over D-Wade, the guy has a Finals MVP.
