A primer on super-team vs organic (for reference purposes)

[3ba11]

Super-teams get Year 1 favorite status, while organic teams become favorite after many years.. That's why organic rings are harder/superior - there's no cheat code to favorite status for organic rings.

Organic teams must develop young teammates and learn championship strategy/brand to achieve favorite status, while super-teams have enough talent to get Year 1 favorite status (the easiest path possible)... And organic stars must adjust their game to fit with teammates and learn championship brand, while super-teams win via talent and usually play suboptimally.

Of course, no super-team conversation is appropriate without mentioning the Godfather of super-teams, Lebron James - team-hopping is his legacy.. He landed on two teams that were Year 1 league favorites (11', 15') and became the league favorite when Duncan joined him in LA, I mean AD.. .

Btw, the 80's had organic super-teams, aka long-term chemistry > short-term collusions.. So the organic super-teams of previous eras would destroy today's short-term collusions due to superior chemistry.

People forget Bron’s first year back in Cleveland, they were actually struggling at first until they picked up Shrumpert and J.R. Smith. Hell he was struggled at first in Miami until Wade gave him the keys to run the team. Just because you got stars doesn’t mean you’re automatically going to win. When he went to L.A. they were garbage. When he went to Cleveland (as a rookie and ‘15) they were garbage before he got there. LeBron adjusted with his teammates especially in his last years in Miami and Cleveland. Remember he went to L.A. for the betterment of his family.

Wrong.

All of LeBron's championships are organic.

Done through free agency, trades, and drafts.

AD was through trade.
Kuzma was through the draft.
LeBRon was through free agency.


As organic as it is. More organic than Jordan's since Jordan joined a 55 win team and free rolled his way to more championships.

No one can make as many adjustments like LeBron and win with anyone


SG, Wade
PG, Kyrie
PF, Davis

Anyone, anytime. LeBron just needs a ball.

It's not a primer if it's literally all you've talked about for the last month

Lebron bronballed in every team that he went to. Turned every teammate into spectators. Lol at adjustment.
