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.

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.

Kevin Durant is their best player. He missed 20 games in the regular season and 1 game in the Finals. He only played in about 52% of the regular season minutes and 64% of the postseason minutes. When Durant was off the floor, they were +7.4 in the regular season and +11.2 in the postseason. They were obviously even better with him in the court (+15.6 & +15.2), but when you can take off your best player and still be 8 to 10 point better than your competition, then they are a super team, like we've never seen before.

since when does a team have to sign superstars instead of draft them to be a superteam?

3 HoFs or more make you a super team. 80s Lakers and Celtics were super teams. The Spurs were a super team. The Celtics with Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, and KG were a super team.
