It was refreshing watching Giannis win by staying, but Lebron didn't really start the super team movement.

You really have to look at the Garnet, Pierce, and Allen big 3 as the group that started it all.


100%...One could even argue it was Detroit and San Antonio before them. Billups/Hamilton/Prince and Robinson/Duncan/Ginobili/Parker

Neither of those were super teams.

A team built organically or thru drafts has never been called a super teams.

Super team refers to the way a team is formed. It’s when guys who are already all stars get together and team up.

Pretty sure the Spurs drafted all these guys; they didn't collude in the offseason to time their contracts and such.

Mostly home grown as well.

I do agree the Celtics big 3 was more of a super team trend before LeBron joined Miami.

The term ‘super team’ doesn’t just refer to a stacked lineup. It’s referring to how said lineup was formed. Nobody would ever call the Spurs a ‘super team’ based on that definition. That is reserved for the Heat, Durant-Warriors, Lakers when they added Malone and Payton, Celtics Big 3, and current Nets.
