You need to go back to the drawing board.

Calling Bron LePetty when he's making a stupid thread about a clear joke.:scust:

As stupid as the Durant "superteam" out-of-context thread the other day.:hhh:

Shaq for sure, but Jesus?
:stopitslime:
That cat couldn't even recognize Judas was the locker room cancer until it was too late. And maybe he himself wasn't the greatest team player. I remember that Peter was asked bout him in an interview and he said he didn't even fukk with dude like that. I think his play slipped because he started hanging out with those hoes too much, Mary Magdalene and them. Or he heard rumors about his teammate John the Apostole messing with his moms Mary on some Delonte West shyt and said man fukk this team I'm outta here. No wonder the local media crucified him

Cruisin’
even as great as lebron is he has his faults, he essentially marginalized wade and bosh in order for the team to perform. on paper they should have been much better than they were. also lack of depth hurt them more than any other "superteam " this is why they were on the same level as their competition.
Their lack of depth is what makes them a superteam to me. The fact that they can do more with that trio than opposing teams could do with their starting 5 and their bench makes 2011 Miami a superteam. Wade/Bosh/LeBron as trio only lost 3 games on their way to the finals. Against a stronger Eastern Conference than what we're seeing now.
Only people that think Miami were a superteam are Bron haters. Wade's swift decline killed the prospect of them being a Superteam & Bosh gotta be the most overrated star in recent memory.
Did you forget how dominant that trio was in the East leading up to the Finals in 2011? They beat two REALLY good Boston and Chicago teams(with prime Derrick Rose) in 5 games. The offensive game plan was basically "LBJ your turn, Wade your turn, Bosh your turn"

You forgot how great Bosh played against Chicago? He cooked Boozer the whole series. Even in games in which Chicago had better numbers in the box score (rebounds especially) Miami won that series and the won the Celtics series on the talent of that trio alone. No team in the East had an answer for them, even with a better collection of roleplayers, better bench and better schemes. That heat team was a Superteam.

That's what made what happened to Miami against Dallas seem so improbable. Especially considering how great of a start Miami had against Dallas that series. With 5mins left in game2, it was looking like Miami was gonna gain a 2-0 series lead against Dallas. If they hold on to that 15 point lead, they go to Dallas up 2-0. And assuming Miami still wins game 3, they go up 3-0 against dallas, and potentially sweep them to win the title in their first year together. Just because Miami didn't complete the mission that doesn't mean they didn't have a superteam.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Just because Miami didn't complete the mission in 2011, doesn't mean they weren't a superteam. The trio of CB/Wade/LBJ were better than most teams starting 5. How else do you handle the Celtics in 5 games coming off a Eastern Conference title? How else do you handle a Bulls team with prime Derrick Rose, with one of the best defenses, and a bevy of roleplayers in 5 games?
Exactly.

I don't even know why shyt like this needs to be stated. Just because they didn't maximize their winning potential over that four-year period doesn't negate the fact that they still were a superteam. We shouldn't need to argue about basic common sense and factual events that took place. This is verging on a basketball-equivalence of trying to argue with a bunch of folk who believe Earth is flat.

Are you sure this is the criteria? Considering that Kevin Love is not a top 15 player in the NBA, would that mean the Cavs are not actually a Super Team?:wow:Or will you quote me back and change the criteria like expected? :mjlol:
1. I was referring to the Miami Beatles

2. Kevin Love was definitely top 15 when him and LeBron joined forces,

In fact ESPN ranked in #7 that year.

ESPN.com NBA Player Rankings: 7

Now bow down & apologize .

I'm a Lebron fan for life but that Miami team was DEFINITELY a Superteam.

Thing is I don't blame him, KD, or ANY player for doing it. I'd support Lebron 100% if he just owned up to it and said "yes we were a super team" and be proud of it. Lebron did exactly what he wanted to do. He told the Cavs (whom he DRAGGED to the edge of greatness at the time) to kiss his ass and took his talents to south beach. Where he and two other BLACK superstars took destiny into their own hands and won a championship on their terms.


That's something to be proud of

That's what I'm saying!! Any black man mad at another black man for taking his destiny in his own hands instead of waiting on the white overseer to define his legacy needs to be shamed. For a board full of left-leaning black folks, these nikkas sure are anti-labor/pro-management. I say that because nobody seems to mind when the GM brings together 3 or 4 HOFers like the 80's Lakers and Celtics, but LeGM deserves to be mocked.

But, ya'll are still beating around the bush tho.....What constitutes a super team? Two stars in total? Three stars in total? Is it only a super team when the players form the squad? Is it not considered a super team when the GM's do the job? Ya'll keep using the term as you see fit....It's funny to see ya'll pull out one hundred and one excuses for why obvious super teams Pre-Miami Heatles were not actually superteams. :mjlol:Especially the damn superteam that swayed bron into leaving Cleveland in the first place.....

Like my favorite one: The 08 Boston Celtics weren't a super team because of Ray, Pierce's and KG's age....Well, how old has Bron been for the past two years? over 30 years of age...a.k.a the same age range as the Boston Big 3. So by ya'lls flimsy logic...The Cavs team only has two prime stars in Kyrie and Love so, what's this noise about a Superteam? :mjlol:
:ohhh: When you get back

HOL UP. HOW ARE YOU EVEN DEBATING THIS???


COLI POSTERS... THIS IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE. BRON STANS OR WARRIOR STANS. THIS AINT UP FOR DEBATE.

ANY TEAM THATS PUT TOGETHER VIA FREE AGENCY OR VIA PLAYERS COLLUDING WHICH COULD BRING TOGETHER 3 ALLSTARS OR MORE IN THEIR PRIMES ON THE SAME TEAM IS A SUPER TEAM.

SUPER TEAMS:

DWADE, BOSH, BRON - 3 allstars, 3 guys that have carried teams own their own, all on the same team at the same time because they colluded to make it happen. had absolutely nothing to do with a GM. and these dudes were in their primes.

BRON, KLove, Kyrie = 3 allstars, in their primes. with bron more or less putting the team together. intentionally leaving the heat behind since dwade was showing signs of aging and they both probably knew about bosh's condition.


What would've been a GM made super team(old man kobe, cp3 in his prime, and dwight(but that was post back surgery.he hasnt been the same since)... the lakers not got cp3. they got old man nash to go along with bad back dwight and old man kobe. this is not a superteam. two guys outside of their primes and another possibly never the same due to injury.

Karl malone, gp, shaq and kobe. malone and gp were dinosaurs . sure they were still very very good/savy role guys. and yes if malone would've been healthy we would've beat detroit. but that many old men. oh by the way shaq was past his prime too slightly. This is not a super team. nice names. but not a super team. dudes are too old. anyone can break down before the end of the season.


the hakeem and clyde team is not a superteam. clyde was well beyond his prime. barks was beyond his too and got injured.

Boston celtics with KD, Ray, Pierce was a super team but it was constructed by their GM. it was not player colluded at all. and these guys were at the tail end of their primes(which is another reason why they could only win one and thanks to bron creating a prime super team ..that didnt help either.

GSW is a superteam. But lets be honest. It was not player colluded. They built that puppy from scratch. got a ring. then reupped and added another mvp in the off season because he wanted to leave his team in a terrible city.


So lets take a look. theirs only one guy colluding with players on a constant basis running around making super teams to avoid competition and his name is Lebron James.

People mistake "Big 3" for "Superteam"......three all-stars with two average starters and a average bench is not a "Superteam"......Like really,most nba fans can't even name the starting center/pg for those heat teams.

Those rosters were highly flawed outside of the big 3, meanwhile you have former franchise players like lguodala and David west cucking themselves to be bench players for the warriors, as well as KD leaving the team that just lost to the warriors in the WCF to join the voltron too.
