Of course you're not on a super team now, bron bron.


We're not going to forget about Miami.

What a bitch.

Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4......

When you have a freaking pep rally to celebrate your signing, you play on a super team.

He joined an established star in Wade in Miami and brought in a third in Bosh.

When that super team looked mortal he left to join an up and coming star in Kyrie in Cleveland and brought in a third in KLove.

He's been to 7 straight finals and the entire eastern conference is ready for his arse to decline because it's a 1 team conference (whatever super team Lebron builds).

Just because they aren't as good as the Warriors super team (which was a bit of a perfect storm) doesn't mean they haven't been super teams. Someone else was just better than him at his own game.

i agree with him. Miami was far from unbeatable while he was there. They had that one crazy streak where they won like 20+ games in a row, but they also had stretches where they looked bad for a bunch of games.

GS would've crushed LeBron's Miami teams. Also, any team that considers Kevin Love a major piece on a championship level team is not a super team.

He tried to build one at Miami but much like everything else "LeBron" it was underwhelming.

The idea of "super team" doesn't fly with me as far as GS either because, yeah, that's a stacked team, but they added 1 player. The main of that team had been put together for some time. It's not like they shipped in that starting 5 from all over the league.

He's been on two super teams and still sucks. He thought he could make his super team in Miami and win multiple championships but he was wrong. He ultimately opened the flood gates for the super team model which was his demise. Oh the irony.

i'm not sure that's relevant when you have 4 of the top 15 players in the league and your 6th man has won the finals MVP as a 6th man. it's less mercenary than the Heat or 04 Lakers but GSW is almost unbeatable at present.

On one hand, Lebron is probably the only person who can't complain about what Durant did.

On the other hand, Lebron before Miami, and after Miami has been the opposite of the Durant move.

He'll never do it but the right thing was to say what happened in Miami was a mistake and I was never going to build a legitimate legacy there, in that situation.

Obviously Miami was the first super team. GS is much better though, and was well established before KD arrived. Miami wasn't going back to another Finals with just Wade.

Maybe he has an issue with the term "superteam." It's a stupid term. A team is a team, some are better than others.

There's no listed definition for a "superteam." It's whatever the person using it wants it to be.
