I love the "established" qualifier. So, we can exclude putting 3 Top tier guys on a new team at once. Nice.... LMAO

I'm trying to remember. Who had more prime superstars Miami or those Dallas and Spurs teams?

Did anybody here ever actually watch Chris Bosh play for any period of time (either in Toronto or at Miami)? The fact that you referred to him as a top 75 guy yesterday (I assume in history) is a tell that you didn't.

I care that the Warriors ruined the NBA for those years all because of their fear for one player.

It still cracks me up that people really think LeBron started the super team movement. LMAO

It still cracks me up that people compare the KG/Pierce/Allen Celtics to Lebron trying to build not 1, not 2, but 3 super teams one after the other.

Unprecedented.

"Ruined the NBA" = beat Lebron at his own game.

So when you're trying to diminish Steph Curry, Draymond Green is a "HOFer" but when you're trying to build up James, Chris Bosh is some piece of shit hack.

G'damn you are predictable.

Can you tell me when 3 other guys in their prime conspired to play together before?

Super teams are the new thing and have been. But it’s patently false to say LeBron started it.

He just continued it. And to be fair he played for ****ing Cleveland. No wonder he wanted out after what he did for them.

Not sure who may have said that? There's no question there have been super teams before LeBron. Did you ever see 3 superstar players on 3 different teams coordinate by themselves to take less money each to be able to join on a single team? Then also convince a diminishing star player to sign for half of what was offered by other teams to be a key role player?

Right?

Like LeBron wouldn't have done friggen backflips if Durant chose to join HIS superteam, presumptively one he'd have had to leave to in free agency rather than watch grow organically around him, instead of Curry's.

Any attempts to diminish the Warriors runs without simultaneously acknowledging the nature of Lebron's championships with Miami is just intellectually dishonest as hell.

What a ****ing joke pretending that Lebron didn't start the super team era of the NBA.

KG, Pierce, and Allen were at the tail end of their careers. Lebron was the best player in the world in his prime going to a Heat team with a former Finals MVP that had already won a title AND another top 3-5 player in the conference.

When you're the best player in the league and a guy some consider to be the GOAT, you're held to a different standard.

But when you're a Lebron stan KD is held to an even higher standard than Lebron. Pretty amazing.

Correct those Celtic guys were all early 31-32ish or 35 if you want to use KCC's metrics. The Miami big 3 all 26-27.

As somebody who had to watch Chris Bosh regularly for about a decade, Draymond Green is a vastly superior basketball player to Chris Bosh.

There's more to the game of basketball than scoring points (as the Lakers recently learned when D'Angelo Russell got exposed as the complete scrub he is).
