yea but the late 80s and early 90s might have had the same 3 teams winning all the time but the league was filled with future hall of famers.

Every player on the 1992 Dream Team is a hall of famer but one (Laettner) and they were distributed out to 9 NBA teams.

and that's not even begining to talk about the Hall of Famers that were snubbed from that team (Isiah, Shaq, Rodman, etc)

How many guys on the current USA Olympic team do you think will be hall of famers? Harrison Barnes LOL? DeRozan LOL? Deandre Jordan? LOL (obviously the counter here is that the 6-7 NBA players worth a crap all withdrew, even then you still wouldn't get a full team of hall of famers unless you added the Wades/Dirks at the end of their careers, which I guess would count since that's how Bird got on the 1992 team)

If you have a team that has Jordan/Pippen like the Warriors have with Curry/Durant (and friends), there isn't a team in the league with a Stockton/Malone or a Isiah/Rodman or a Hakeem/Clyde (and friends), or a Shaq/Penny

it's just Lebron and his boys, that's literally it. There is no other market that has a tandem that can even stack up and make it to the finals.
