Is KD one of the few HUMBLE superstars (regardless of sport) out there?

To be a superstar, you must
A. Be a great player
B. Be very popular among non basketball fans.
C. Draw while your team is on the road
Tim Duncan has never been a superstar to me. He is one of the best that has ever done it but., no, his brand doesn't span outside of his sport.
People I have been alive for that I would consider SUPERstars:
LeBron
Kobe
Shaq
Iverson
Magic
BArkley
Bird
Jordan
Maybe
KG
Wade
I might be missing someone, but based on MY definition of superstar, these people are the only ones that fit the bill
Also a superstar is a top road draw. Thunder and Spurs tickets are plentiful on Ticketmaster minutes before most of their road games.

Again, based on my definition of superstar, TD isn't a superstar by any stretch. He is the best PF of all time, but superstardom exceeds just your production.
I question Wade because Miami has come to the Verizon Center many times and the arena is half empty. His ability to draw isn't on par with the other folks I deemed superstars. But as I look at the attendance #'s, Wade's Heat are up there. I didn't know he drew as much as he did. I stand corrected with Wade.
A superstar sells out on the road. Point blank. Which is also why I didn't include Minnesota's KG.
I am NOT calling these players non-excellent players. I am combining skill, popularity, and drawing ability.
Wade doesn't even sell out his own arena.

Miami was 4th in road attendance last season. Behind LA, Cleveland, and Boston. I'd say that puts Wade in superstar realm...based on your criteria.

Fool I know that. The point I was making is he doesn't draw in DC. That is why I was shocked to see the Heat average 19K on the road. I went to 3 Heat games in the last 2 years and the arena has never been more than 75% full. But as I said, he must draw more in other places.
I know the Verizon Center has been empty these past two years.
