Some guys who cover the nba still can't accept that you need a superstar to win a title?

Umm the spurs, Lenoard isn't a superstar and Ducan is well past his prime. Also see Detroit and the Celtics. Great team chemistry, role players willing to sacrifice and stay in their lane and terrific defense.

Two teams in half a century have won a title without a superstar I think that's a large enough sample size
If you walked away from that article thinking that his overall point was that winning a title without a superstar is easy or very plausible then :snoop:

He even suggests that they may have to trade for a bigger piece, or wait until the summer of 2016 to lure a star there with max space

The piece was simply a wrap up of the Hawks season, not some overall reaching theme about winning titles without stars

He understands that not all teams can land a superstar (unless through draft, and less likely via trade), the Hawks are in that boat, but they have no choice but to continue on their path and hope they can find ways to improve

Again, I SERIOUSLY doubt you actually took the time to read through the entire article and actually processed what you just read

Pistons in 04 and the Spurs last year were the only teams that won without a superstar. Kevin Garnett was still a top 5 player when the Celtics won in 08.

How many team really have superstars tho? I can think of Lebron, Steph, Westbrook and Durant, Ad and prolly Harden.

So 27 teams should reload every year since they don't have a superstar. That's basically impossible so yu have to deal with the cards ur dealt with as GM and coach of a team.
