MJ never beat a super-team but he also never had one so it's moot.. He had to take a bunch of rookies and eventually drag them over a more talented, near-siper-team.

Ultimately, beating a super-team doesn't matter if you have a super-team yourself, so only the non-super-team rings matter - only the rings won without super-teams are worth anything, aka Isiah, Jordan, Kobe in 09/10, Curry, Dirk, Kawhi, Giannis

If beating a superteam doesn't matter if you have one, why would beating a non superteam matter if you have one?

non-super-team rings > super-team rings

because

super-teams are only 1 or 2 teams in the entire league that get a free pass to the Finals... Non-super teams are closer in talent to the other 29 teams and must earn a Finals trip against other comparable opponents - no cake walk to the Finals - parity is always the toughest competitive environment

Lebron had a parity situation in 2010 when guys like Lebron, Hibbert, DeRozan, Wade and Bosh were set to battle for the conference over the next decade - Lebron shattered this parity by taking the conference's top three 1st options and putting them on 1 team.. Then everyone remarkably gave him credit for winning the conference a bunch after that.
