With 17 championships and fans lucky enough to have rooted for two top-five players of all-time -- along with greats like Hondo, Cowens (MVP), Cousy (Cousy), McHale, Parish, KG, Pierce, etc. -- it's probably hard to argue that we are entitled to a superstar.

That said, bring on Simmons.

Celtics = handled rebuild admirably. Team represents hard work, defense, teamwork.

Then Lakers = high commitment to winning basketball.

Knicks already have a star in Melo. So not near top of pack for deserving of another star.
Brooklyn deserve nothing. Terribly run organization.
Philly deserve nothing. Extreme tankers. Should be cursed with bad luck.
Sacramento deserve nothing. Terribly run organization. Deserve to lose the star they have.

I'd love to see Dallas get a superstar. I think they are one of the best run organizations in the league + I'd love to see Dirk get some help in the final years of his career. Unreasonable to be asking Dirk to shoulder so much at this stage of his career.

Us, obviously.

Why?

Len Bias
Reggie Lewis
Tim Duncan/Chauncey Billups/Ron Mercer
Rick Pitino
Jeff Green/Kevin Durant
Perk Injury
KG injury

Us for these reasons.

Followed by Lakers, so we can get back to kicking their butts in the Finals.

But definitely us first and foremost, because our gap on the Lakers should be MUCH larger.

EDIT:  Oh, and Kings.  Good point eja.

Dallas too, for Who's reasons, and the 06 Finals.

Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

The Hornets having a superstar depends on how you look at it. This Hornets team is not the same one as the old Zo Hornets, it is the old Bobcats. I'm not sure how the fans there look at it. If the Celtics moved to another city and then later changed their name and then even later we got another team and named it the celtics, would you root for the team in boston called the celtics or the team in another city that used to be the celtics?

Besides being a biased Celtics fan, I chose Boston because:

1) The Lakers have had so many stars gifted to them.
2) The Sixers have had plenty of chances recently.
3) The Knicks have had Carmelo for several years, plus get regular interest from high-profile free agents because it's the Big Apple.
4) The Nets ... 'nuff said.
5) The Kings have Cousins and have utterly failed to do anything with him.
6) As others have pointed out, Bias, Lewis, Duncan, Bird's back, and KG's knee.
"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'"
