Star means Star
Back from our long hiatus and hopefully better than ever. Especially since it's basketball season.
I was perusing the news this morning and found this headline: "NBA star arrested for DUI." I began to think, hm, I wonder who that could be. Must have been somebody good.
I also thought to myself, wow, another DUI for an NBA player, remembering how I heard yesterday that Kwame Brown of the Los Angeles Lakers had been arrested earlier in the week. So, I clicked the article.
It led me here, to a site with the headline Lakers Star Arrested in Georgia DUI Incident. Sure enough, the article was referring to the aforementioned Brown. Kwame. Star? I think not.
If by star, you mean the guy who averaged 8.4 points and 6 rebounds per game last season in just 41 games despite a wide open middle and no one else on the team (Bynum doesn't really count) could grab a rebound, then sure, Kwame's a star. If by star, you mean the biggest first pick overall in an NBA draft bust in this century, then sure, Kwame's a star. If by star, you mean the guy who begins to show a bit of promise, then gets injured, gets arrested, or even just turns the ball over on the next possesion, then sure, Kwame's a star.
That was perhaps the most misleading headline I ever read. I expected it to be referring to somebody good.

Screw that, I'm wrong. Darko was 2nd overall behind Lebron.
2000: Kenyon Martin (bust, but fine)
2001: Kwame Brown (awful)
2002: Yao Ming (stud)
2003: Lebron James (stud)
2004: Dwight Howard (stud)
2005: Andrew Bogut (nothing too special, but not as big of a bust as Kwame)
2006: Andrea Bargnani (see Bogut)
2007: Oden (TBD)
But Darko does still blow.
