Durant + Harden + Kyrie
Kobe + Pau + Dwight
Shaq + Kobe + Malone + Payton
Hakeem + Barkley + Drexler
Aside from LeBron's teams, who have won every time he came to a new team, the only time the so-called "easy way" has ever worked were the 2007-08 Boston Celtics, who managed to squeeze out 1 championship.
And no, Durant on the Warriors does not count. That was on another level. Durant didn't join the Warriors to form a Super Team. He came to a team that was already a Super Team and stacked himself on top of it.

KD, Harden, and Kyrie didn't win a chip? WTF? What about a Finals appearance? From the weak East?
Not even that? An ECF Appearance? A 2nd round win???

Whereas Levirgin can’t even make it wit the play in with his super stacked all star team
Imagine a team with prime AD Westbrook Lebron DH melo etc and still miss the playoff :lol

ISO-heavy super teams dominate lesser inferior teams in the regular season or the Olympics (1992 dream team was the original super team) , but they have a hard time winning against the elite, diverse-skill-set (all players being able to shoot pass and drive, and defend multiple positions), efficient teams both in the NBA Playoffs, and recent Olympics over the past 10-15 years.

Kyrie got hurt then Harden played hurt in the Bucks series.
Dwight was coming off back surgery and Kobe got a career changing injury.
Imo, the Lakers should have won in 2004. Not enough passing to Shaq. But internal off the court issues between Malone and Kobe. Laker contract issues with Shaq leading to post-season trade. Malone and Payton out of prime.
Injuries, out of prime.

So you only want context to be used when it doesn't have to do with LeBron??

Compare that with this:
Lebron - Davis- Westbrook - Carmelo - Dwight - Rondo
6 HOF
4 TOP 75 (Actually must be 5, one is robbed)
But not even reaching playin tournament.
Biggest failure of the sports history, not only NBA.
