    My hot take: If Jrue Holiday played in the 90s, he'd be seen as arguably the greatest defensive PG of all time by now because the 90s was so much more defense oriented, but because of the offensive heavy era Jrue plays in now, he will be underrated as a defender in the grand scheme of things since it's so much harder these days to play that kind of defense.

E.g. shows graph that starts at 50 so that player with a score of 70 seems to be twice as good as player with the score of 60. He also does a lot of correlation means causation mistakes. In this video he judges a superteam by results when it should be judged by potential.

    More thoughts about the 70s NBA. It started with a bang when a great and charismatic NY team won a ring, and then Los Angeles and New York again. But much of the rest of the decade was smaller markets (Milwaukee, Seattle, Portland, Golden State, Washington). There was no dominant team. Kareem was the best player, but he was media poison and had no serious rival (though he might have if Walton had stayed healthy). Two of the most exciting players (Walton and David Thompson) flamed out early. The style of play was great - culminating in the Celtic-Lakers rivalry in the 80s - but fewer people were watching. Popularity goes in cycles. The Bird-Magic, Lakers-Celtics rivalry, Jordan and the dominant Bulls, and the league and media finding their commercial stride made the difference, not the caliber of players.

    1987-88 featured at least 22 Hall of Fame players: Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Moses Malone, Isiah Thomas, Dominique Wilkins, Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Alex English, Patrick Ewing, Adrian Dantley, Joe Dumars, Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, Reggie Miller.
    It was one of the greatest seasons in NBA history as well: MVP race between MJ, Bird, & Magic; MJ as the first MVP to also win the DPOY, the first DPOY to win the scoring title, and the first player to accumulate 200+ steals w/ 100+ blocks in a season twice; Bird becoming the first player to be in the 50-40-90 club twice; MJ vs 'Nique iconic dunk contest; Bird's legendary 3pt contest threepeat; Bird vs 'Nique Game 7 duel; Isiah's sprained ankle game; Lakers fulfilling Riley's repeat guarantee (ending the league's drought since 1969); Worthy recording the first ever Game 7 triple-double; Stockton finally unleashed from the bench to begin his nine consecutive assists titles along w/ racing MJ & A. Robertson (all-time spg leader) for the steals title; and so on and so forth.
    Basketball in general was also a phenomenon in 1992: The Dream Team, Jordan's shrug game, Magic's last ASG, Bird's epic final triple-double, Rodman's 1530 rebounds, Pat Riley's Knicks vs Phil Jackson's Bulls rivalry begins, Laettner's perfect game w/ famous buzzer beater, Michael Jackson's "Jam" music video, etc...

The way I look at super team is a collection of 3 all star talents with at least one of them being a superstar and the ultimate goal is to win the finals with little to no resistance.

When you take 3 players who were the best player on each of their teams the year before and combine them onto one team, that is a super team. Their plus/minus shows that adding the parts will never match up to the whole once you put them all together, since there is only one ball to share, so it is an arbitrary stat to show how super of a team they are.

    I disagree with the last point. Not because they didn't live up to the hype doesn't mean they were not a super team. Before the Cavs super team, Kevin Love dominated the paint, Kyrie dominated the point, and LeBron dominated the league. They underwhelmed not for lack of talent. So to me the difference between the Heat big 3 and the others is not in the word "super" but in the word "team".

      I don’t think they underachieved. I don’t have them as a super team because unlike Miami, Kyrie & Love didn’t lead their teams to the playoffs. The other difference is Cleveland trading for Kevin Love, so it’s not like they got him for free. They eventually rounded out the team to get Iman & JR which then turned them into a power house, because they were Top Heavy.

    The reason the Cav’s big 3 were “originally” called a super team was because all 3 at the time were 20+ ppg players that came together to form the core of a team, no team had done that since the the Miami Heat I’m 2010 and then before that the 71-72 Lakers(go back and look they were the first real super team with Baylor, Chamberlain, West, and Goodrich) even though I believe Baylor went down even before mid-season even though some believe the old Celtics with Cousy Russell and Havlicek were a bit of a super team…regardless those Cavs initially were thought to be a super team because of stats

      Yup...and Dude's going to say that Khris Middleton is an All-Star - when he gets PICKED by Giannis or Durant - and yet K. Love is a "Fringe" All- Star, when he had FAR better stats than Middleton OR Bosh when he was in Minny AND made 2 All-Star teams in a WC stacked with forwards. You can build a team offense around Irving or Love (whether you'd WANT to is something else entirely) but you can't do that with Middleton. I'll also add that while I like Chris Bosh's game and he was a starter for the EC a couple times BEFORE he went to Miami....if he were out West, he'd have been on the outside looking in during that same period of time with Dirk, KG, Duncan, Melo, Gasol, Z-Bo, & Stoudamaire out there.

It just mean it didn't work the way you wanted to together. Still a superteam. If Kobe, Jordan, and LeBron were to be on the same team it would be a super team as soon as the roster is made.

    I gotta disagree with the superteam take. LeBron has been on two superteams- one of them is the Lakers. A superteam is defined by its construction, not its on-court performance. As currently constructed, the three best players on the lakers are free-agent acquisitions, 2 or 3 of whom were the best players on their previous teams.
    The Bucks' big three are two home-grown talents, and one star free agent. Not a superteam.
    Brooklyn had three superstar free agents as its core. Superteam.
    KD-era warriors had two home-grown superstars, and one superstar free agent. Normally that's not a superteam, but two of those guys (including the free agent) are all-time greats at their peak. Debatable whether that's a superteam. I think it was.

    The difference between superteams is that they HAVE to come together from separate teams. Its players coming together to form a championship caliber team. Home grown teams dont count for this criteria

      superteams dont have to built from players coming from other teams. a superteam is a superteam no matter the condition

      It's true not a hot take just one conference finals appearance he has no Playoff success. Luka already has atleast as much it not more

      The Timberwolves the potential to be a top 4 seed in the regular season, although anything outside of that comes into question, but I see where you are coming from
