    Default Lets discuss: Are super teams really bad for the NBA?

    I actually think it's better for the NBA...makes it way way more interesting IMO. The NBA is more fun when there's a villain.

    Ain't no fun when there's no competition. What good is having a super team if there are hardly any teams to challenge them?

    Right now, there's Golden State and Cleveland. That's it. The East has been weak for years, and now the West is joining the East.

    Superteams aren't bad as long as there is actual competition.

    East is finally improving and actual beat out the Western conference in more winning teams for playoffs. But, West is getting worse.

    One thing for certain, it's not fun knowing that there's a high chance we will see Warriors and Cleveland again.

    Superteams arent bad for short period of time, but not long.
    Something like Miami Heat was good for league, for 4 years. But not extended period of 7 - 8 years.. Same team winning.

    I think the league is in good position. Since 2010, 7 championships 6 teams different won.

    of course it's bad, cause why the hell would you put up a 30 team league then collude most of the superstars into 4 teams? No one would care on those poor leftover teams that got taken off.

    how is the current era any different from the 80's or 90's which was considered the "golden era" of basketball?

    THERE is nothing literally to stop superteams forming.the situation in NBA is far better then other sports, just take a look at european soccer and some of piss poor leagues ( seriea , la liga, ligue 1 bundesliga..). You have a team like Barcelona with 4 of best 10 players with them.

    Magic was a teammate with Kareem, two top 10 all time players on same team.

    Bird's celtics weren't a super team?
    the show time lakers weren't a super team?
    MJ's bulls weren't a super team?

    i'm not debating if KD's move was a bitch move because that's pretty obvious

    he should've said 80's but pretty much only 3 of those teams you listed came from the 80's. That's pretty similar to what next year will look like. 90's was really competitive but then again some will say there weren't many super teams that decade. Anyway our era is fine now.

    In just this decade we have Warriors, Cavs, Miami(11-14), Spurs, Lakers, Celtics, Thunder, Clippers, Howard's Magic, Memphis, Rose's Bulls, George's Pacers, Harden's Rockets, Aldridge and Lillard's Blazers etc. Yes some of those teams I listed weren't really contenders but same is true for your list(Zo's Hornets come on now, should've gone with Zo Hardaway Heat).

    All star game should be once a year thing. You can have all star team for 82 games. It's not allowed.

    those weren't colluded teams, most of them were drafted by the their own team

    You combined 20 years of NBA to make a good list. I'm sure if we combined the previous 20 years (1996 - 2016) we'd make a damn good list too.
