These guys colluded and structured their contracts years in advance to win bc apparently they knew they couldn't hack it apart from each other. The year bf they came together, Wade, Lebron, and Bosh were ALL top 5 in PER. How is winning, then, that big of a deal?

I know other championship teams had talent as well, but that was usually the result of the teams working the market, GMs fighting for trades, drafts, etc.

That's different than what happened in Miami. These guys planned this all out despite what other teams did.

It's like forcing trades on NBA Live, creating an all-star team, then winning the game.

Yay for 22?

Except it's not like that at all. Just because people think LeBron is better than Kobe doesn't mean you have to hate him.



I'm beginning to think you have a lot in common with this guy

Doesn't seem like you can complain about collusion as a fan of a team who acquired the league's best center for a couple of dirty nickels.

Boston did the same thing.

OKC had Durant, Westbrook, and Harden.

SA has Parker, Duncan and Ginobili.

LA has Bryant and Howard.

LA has Griffin and Paul.

It's more impressive than An awesome player winning 3 titles in a row with a prime Shaquille O'Neal and the greatest coach of all time.

Except that LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh are actual human beings who are really good at basketball


and are playing really really really well together.

Every example you provided fails to meet what happened in MIA.

Those guys met years before at the Olympics and PLANNED this out with Riley and structured their contracts so they could dominate the league.

None of those examples did that. Many of those trades, signings, drafts were happenstances, or the players not having COMPLETE control.

What does any of this have to do with people being impressed when we actually watch them play basketball together?

Who cares?

Good teams have multiple good players.

Deal with it.
