    And again, only the Cavs and Warriors had 3 HOF's in recent years (super-teams), while the Heat were the only super-team from 11-14'.. And lebron's teams always had record payroll..

    so lebron should be knocked for not having dominant favorites or flirting with 70 wins like curry/kawhi did, and instead losing more with consistent underdog status.. but Lebron fans have simply weaponized his losing by seeking sympathy for his underdog status, instead of knocking him for not winning and achieving favorites like his peers
    Ok, it's my turn to try that.

    If a team has 4 All-stars, then they are a superteam.

    LeBron w/o Love and only Kyrie for 2gms swept the 2015 Hawks superteam.

    You forgot the 60 win 4 All-Star Hawks team. I made the rule that, if they have 4 All-stars, then they're a superteam.

    .
    2012 Celtics

    Garnett 35, Pierce 34, Allen 36


    2013 Spurs

    Duncan 36, Ginobili 35, Parker 30


    1991 Pistons

    Isiah 29, Dumars 27, Rodman 27



    And lebron had his own 3-4 HOF teams from 2011-2017, so it's normal competition for him to face similar teams (super-team era), whereas MJ won his first 3 rings with less help (2 HOF team) and his era had superior parity/competitive balance/real, natural competitive environment

    How about those 2014 Spurs with 1 AS in Tony Parker beating Miami's 3 AS's in their prime.... in 5 games no less.

    Those mentioning the Hawks need to take ESL before even dreaming of knowing what perennial means.
