Superteam is a team with 3 hofers and superstars. Mavs and pels had two stars.

They also had jrue and rondo (although past his prime). I feel jrue makes them at least 2andahalf superstars :)

@@maartenvzand randle

At the time EVERYONE viewed Davis/Cousins as a superteam lmao why do yall rewrite history so much?

@@DIAB10mtmgno the hell we didn’t! We said they have a chance to take out GS since The Warriors had no bigs

I thought they were minimum a 2 title team. That shit lasted like a calendar year😂😂

Not really since the 21-22 was guaranteed championship if not for the injuries

They really was a good super team but could not play games all together.

@@emayan06 yea

I am of the belief that they had a better shot had they kept Allen, Levert, and Dinwiddie. But Kyrie was going to sabotage that anyway, I guess in the name of his master plan.

And got swept.

@@Marlowe10100by the eventual champions

Nuggets reminds me of the Capitals when they always lose to their demon Penguins in the playoffs until 2018 and then win it all. The Caps maybe irrelevant now but so are the Pens

Had less to do with Westbrook and more with the fact that the Lakers got players who can actually shoot at the deadline. Plus the fact they had the most free throws helped tremendously

Lebron can blame himself for that. Deebo or Buddy Heild were clearly the better fits and everyone called it before Russ ever stepped foot in LA. LeGM got his wish

No doubt. I feel for the Sun's fans.

@@Michael-kw1mz As a Suns fan, Im pretty happy. You dont seem to understand the handcuffs this organization had under Sarver as ownership. This guy could care less about winning and it all started back when he let Joe Johnson go to the Hawks. Last year with less than 20 games for Durant, the Suns did pretty well with him and Booker and as a Suns fan even if it doesnt work, Im happy that the new ownership at least is swinging for the fences and not trying to scrape for pennies. Same thing goes on for the other pro teams in AZ, DBacks have huge TV deals and money, but refuses to spend, Cardinals ownership is willing to spend, but dumb decisions. So yeah, finally feels good the Suns trying to get a super team for a push for a championship. Even if it means several years of mediocrity after this team is done. Why? Because this team sucked anyway before that. Did you know just a few years ago the Suns won 19 games in a whole season? So yeah, dont feel bad for the Suns fans, some are loving this.

​@@SillysoftYou won't win a championship without a point guard. 2nd round exit next season.

I think Durant, Booker and Paul is a better trio

Unless that trio learns how to pass, they don’t have a shot getting out of the second round.

They also had Julius randle too

Facts man that pelicans team in 2018 was so fun to watch I still rmeber the night boogie torn his Achilles I was at a house party and we were all so sad when we heard the news

@@TheBlankEvolvedthat was not the same year! They chose to sign Randle instead of giving cousins a contract the following year

Rondo had a game with 25 assist that season throwing lobs to AD and Boogie

I kinda agree as DMC had a higher usage rate than AD Scoring, playmaking, rebounding... Gentry overused DMC that’s why he got injured and also why Rondo became better with the playmaking role back in his hands

Lol and Miami did not take shortcuts??😂😂😂

@@kb-is1jnI hate miami but they’ve always had an established owner and front office with one of the greatest coaches. They also have been a solid drafting team and they are known for turning nobody’s into solid role players. If there was any team that deserved to have a super team it was miami, where the lakers have drafted horribly and made stupid decisions but have lucked into getting lebron and AD due to the market.

@@basketballaddict2885why u hate miami? must be a celtics or bulls fan 😂😂 (dont get mad lmao just playing with u)

Lakers won a chip lmao

2021 nets failed because of injuries. They destroyed the bucks with just kd and kai then kai goes down and an injured harden returns they still pushed bucks to 7.

As a pels fan we are cursed

Im a Pelicans fan and I was excited about that team too no way they were considered a superteam…I remember sweeping the 3 seed Blazers that year, Jrue and Rondo was locking the Blazers backcourt up all series

The problem was that DMC was overused, Gentry used him as a playmaker on the offense and had a higher usage rate than Anthony Davis. Rondo was at his best only when DMC was out (cause he had the full playmaking role). Anyway I guess even with DMC, Pelicans would have lost against GSW because they had no real small forward. Etwaun Moore was playing SF but his short height was a problem. Nobody on the roster was able to stop KD

Gretzky and kurri

IF you have a guy that’ll probably finish top 5 all time at his position

the problem is a lot of teams don't either have the luck of drafting someone like Giannis or Jokic to build around or the best front offices for drafting creating these forced trades.

they just got lucky lol wait for the real dogs like the clippers to be healthy, jokic will go back to playing euro league in serbia and giannis will be back in greece lmfaooo

@@ChrisSmith-pe4tf Don't hold your breath on a Clippers championship.

@@ChrisSmith-pe4tfthe same clippers tht blew a 3-1 lead to jokic😳

Not a Clippers fan but I agree. The league is better with them being healthy and being a bane in everyone existence.

​@bandito241 lol I've always kinda been a closet Clippers fan since the Darius Miles/Q-Rich days. I've been rooting for them since Miles, Richardson, Andre Miller, Elton Brand, CP3, Blake Griffin, Kawhi and PG, but always seem they have some bad luck

The 2012-13 Lakers weren't a championship squad.

Kyrie had a drama crap ongoing while in Nets. Flat earth etc. Lol

And 15 years later Pearce and KG STILL FLEXING that one ring. I've never seen one team ride a single championship as hard as the '08 Celtics

@@richborn6700 that's because them forming a "big 3" worked and they went to finals twice, some guys never reach the finals so yeah they "flexing"

They were clearly the best team in the league for at least the first 3 years of the big 3. They were winning 60+ games and went to 2 finals, in 2009, KG was injured for the playoffs, if not, that was another finals appearance for them.

*2008

2021 could have been the year for the Ring. Irving out and Harden not even running on the court (and still almost beating Bucks)

@SIMOLAMBOTZ fax!! The jumpshot KD made was ridiculous!! It is what it is. Coach Nash don't make any adjustments with the small ball b.s. smh!!

nah, '22 Lakers finishing 16 games under .500 is the worst bust of any superteam by far it's the equivalent of _spoiled rich-kid B-boy Fresh who couldn't even manage to borrow a cel phone to call a cab to GET to the dance (let alone do any dancing)_

@@shaft9000 no because you had half the fans saying they where going to be a wash, they called them the retirement lakers and saying they weren’t even a superteam because Westbrook was trash and wasn’t going to fit, nets and clippers had EVERYONE calling them finals opponents for years to come, they where favorites for so many times.

did u not watch the fcking video injuries ruined the clippers they looked promising every single year

I wish someone would make a compilation of analysts crowning the Clippers and Nets as champions in pre-season.

So incredible, the Nuggets swept them.

Yeah whatever only lakers fans are h00kers and mexican dudes that beat their wives so i don’t blame russ for playing terrible there… only dark energy souls like LeSacrifice could thrive there

Westbrick's bad shot selection really destroys a team's offense.

@@One.Zero.One101 He has been a bad jump shooter in his entire career, period, especially from long range. It really detracts from his game especially as he ages and slowly but surely losing his athleticism and speed.

It wasn't winnable. The Nuggets are simply better put together

@@One.Zero.One101he always had bad shot selection 😂 the problem was taking the ball out of his hands and trying to make him a catch and shoot type of player. He needs the ball in his hands to be effective. Him playing good in the playoffs wasn’t a coincidence, he had the ball in his hands and he was more effective except for the first and last game but he made up for that in the first game by being good at other areas of the court

That would definitely be a super team, but a super team only needs to have two bonafide superstars and one star level player to be considered a super team historically. Not many teams in NBA history have had three superstars in their primes together. Maybe only the late 60s and early 70s Lakers West, Wilt, and Baylor squads tbh.

@@QuestionEverything562 ; OK, a superteam needs 2 superstars and a solid star player. Do these teams qualify from the video? - AD and Cousins on the Pelicans? One superstar, one star and ? Not a superteam. - George and Kawhi are superstars. Who is the star? Not a superteam.

@@bb1111116 I would say neither of those teams were or are super teams. Boogie was never a superstar, and I think PG has never really been a true superstar.

@@QuestionEverything562 ; alright, it seems we agree about the video. Thanks for the reply.

@@bb1111116 When I said, "That would definitely be a super team." I was referring to you saying that three superstars makes a super team, it definitely does. However, I am just saying two superstars and one all-star/star level player is all that is required to be a super team. Look at the late 60s to early Lakers, the 83' 76ers, the 86' Celtics, the 87' Lakers, the 2010-13 Heat, and the 2017-19 Warriors. Those are true super squads to me that fit my parameters. They all had two superstars and one star player configurations.

I don't either.

Exactly

Having Lebron James and Making the playoffs shouldn’t be celebrated

@@fegismcclaren1632why? Brown is 38 years old and in going into his 21st season. Why is lebron held to such high standards compared to other greats? Jordan was out smoking cigars, gambling and golfing in year 21 😂🤣💀

Mickey mouse ring is not a true ring in terms of worth.

@@jaguareagle7026 Might be worth even more, considering everyone had to be without their families, basically in solitary isolation, fearing random tests, and no crowds to pump them up.

@@jaguareagle7026Don’t worry buddy, your little small market hoodr@t would do anything to have that ring, but cool we have 16 OTHER CHAMPIONSHIPS to show off!

Should be 1.

I am a fan of the era of Brooklyn and the Nets are fun to watch

Might want to have Chris Paul subbed for Derrick Rose if this is a playoff team of injured players.

@danielmainord4737 yeah, forgot that he could've been top 3 point guard if he didn't get hurt so much

Lol ikr? Only AD was the superstar, Boogie was just the Bradley Beal of centers in Sac Town collecting meaningless numbers. In no way were they considered a super team by anyone at that point in real time going into that 2017-18 season.

Two reasons they say that: - Neither Pippen or Rodman were the caliber of player that a franchise builds around. - Pippen wasn't even drafted by the Bulls; the Sonics traded him away for Olden Polynice (!). His potential on D didn't show much until playoffs of his 2nd yr, and consistency until his 3rd year in '89-90 = the first yr under Phil Jackson.

People will never admit to any facts that go against MJ’s mythology.

Rodman was on his way out of the league if it wasn’t for the Bulls giving him a chance.

Bruh, Rodman was the Draymond Green of the 90s Bulls. After his great 1996 season, in 97 and 98 he was declining hard and often not starting in playoff games because of his loss of focus. Kukoc often started over him. The 90s Bulls were at no point a super team, Rodman was not a star player going into the 1995-96 season. He was a controversial maniac just about out of the league if not for the Bulls. The Bulls only traded Will Perdue for Rodman. That's it....

@@QuestionEverything562 And it isn't like Jordan and Pippen lobbied for the trade considering almost anyone related to the Bad Boy Pistons weren't exactly their favorite people. Rodman was such a wild card and probably only Phil Jackson could have made it work with the lure of a championship. If Rodman didn't buy in he could have torpedoed the whole thing just by being a distraction, or more of one.

Nobody said they were a super team now or then

If you thought Josh Smith was a legit star player at that time, you need to get mentally checked out lol.

na DJ was good but not great kinda mid, just a constantly injured star duo in CP and BG

Then don't watch the video ? Nobody has a gun to your head....

Tell that to the organizations that made those decisions lol

@@vinnie4538 they wasn't injured when they were traded bruh

a nerve has been touched

2020 was y’all best chance nd 2015 with lob city

Lmao that was in no way a super team. A super team should actually have a superstar ya know lol. Y'all some B listers, KAT lolol.

@@QuestionEverything562 sadly that’s the joke of it. They went all in for a B team. Similar to the geriatric Nets team. They sold everything to be playoff worthy at best!
