    The pistons have to get a bit of love here, they went through magic bird and Jordan for 1 of those title runs. That's impressive
    I give the edge to Hakeem for these couple reasons
    1. Dirk didn't get the heats best shot. If LeBron just plays normal they win that series. Props to Dallas but the heat specifically LeBron did more to lose that series then Dallas did to win it. That was just a LeBron choker special
    1. A couple of those games in that finals Dirk played pretty badly. Jason Terry and JJ barea and deshawn Stevenson and Jason kidd got a couple of those wins. Dirk played great overall but he had 1 game he nearly shot Dallas out the game and the reserves had to save the day.
    Can't say that about Hakeem. He got everyone's best shot and played consistently great. So I go with Hakeem.

      Celtics didn't have Bird the entire series and the Bucks didn't have Terry Cummings for all but part of one game. the Lakers didn't have Magic for more than half the series and he played the entire series with a strained hamstring suffered during a 3 day mini-camp before the Finals, that he tore worse in Game 2. they also didn't have Byron Scott (also tore hamstring in that mini-camp) for the entire series and Kareem was 42 years old lol. even the Bulls didn't have Pippen in Game 6 because Laimbeer knocked him out dirty in the very first play. they played 40 some win teams (that were missing star players) in the first 3 rounds and a 57 win depleted Lakers in the Finals. The 89 Pistons had an easier run than the 2024 Celtics lol, but Isiah still likes to brag about this postseason saying he beat Magic, "Bird" and Michael in their primes lol. only MJ was in his prime with a couple sophomores as his supporting cast, Magic was gimped up from the beginning and Bird was invisible lol...

    @wizmanballin8498 4 дня назад +1

    Mel, your panel is going to stop blind shading for Lebron (lol) because that 2008 Boston Celtics squad was NOT a superteam. Let me get on my bully pulpit right quick:
    Kevin Garnett - 5th pick in his draft class (1995)
    Ray Allen - 5th pick in the draft (1996)
    Paul Pierce - 10th pick in his draft. (1998)
    Lebron formed a team that had 3 Top 5 draft picks in the same draft class. It was NEVER done before him! He was the VERY first superteam creator.
    Lebron James - 1st pick in the draft (2003)
    Chris Bosh - 4th pick in the draft (2003)
    Dwayne Wade - 5th pick in the draft (2003)
    AND on top of that, he wanted Melo, the 4th pick in that same draft class, to play with them in Miami. Sad...(I know I'm only stating the obvious here, but bear with me)
    It's been established a superteam consists of multiple Top 1-5 players originally set up to lead their own respective NBA franchise. Don't mistaken Paul Pierce's come-up as an excuse to call them that because when Paul was drafted, he came to a team that had Antoine Walker already taking the reigns of that franchise with multiple veterans already playing above Paul Pierce's level. He was NOT the guy running the Celtics, unlike Bosh, Wade and Lebron from Day 1...who ALL had their own teams. Not even Golden State technically could be considered a superteam WITH KD!! And let's look at their draft selections:
    Steph Curry - 7th pick in the draft (2009)
    Klay Thompson - 11th pick in the draft (2011)
    Draymond Green - 35th pick in the draft (2012)
    If that was their Big 3, where is the "SUPER" in this line-up? KD came out of the 2007 draft at #2 so he was the only Top 5 player Golden State even had since drafting Curry. As a matter of fact, Curry and Harrison Barnes were both drafted as 7th picks. They were the only 2 to have that success together as teammates. So whoever calls them a superteam is being funny.
    So, the argument can only be one or the other:
    Draft position (players anointed to LEAD an NBA team from the beginning of their careers or slides into that spot after Season 1 based on performance)
    or
    All-Star Appearances before team creation (level of stardom acquired to before said team is created)
    Either or, people will constantly move the goalpost to make their arguments for what a superteam is. They ain't fooling me Mel...nope, nope, nope...lol
