1st championship how many stars besides Hakeem did we have???...so miss me with that we need stars CRAP!!!!
Otis Thorpe was an All Star so technically yes he was a star...also Clyde came in 95 and it was history from there.
Thorpe was considered an All-star type player by many. That's why the Blazers wanted him. Hakeem was Lebron like. Unguardable in his prime. It also helped to have some of the best 3 point shooters in clutch with Horry, Kenny and Cassell (Who also became an All-Star eventually. Morey doesn't view Superstars like you do. He considers them the be the best values in the NBA. You don't overpay a Superstar because they. Usually out play their contracts.
The fail in this post is impressive....so yeah give me lbj and a bunch of mid tier players. I'll take take that team.....let us know when we can get him over here and I'll sign on that. Till then multiple stars is the only way to do it in this league.
Lebron James can't win 1 by himself sorry, he's not that good of an offensive player to do that...he has wade, bosh, chalmers, allen etc... Hakeem will get you a champion
