Team Play Always Beats Superstars

Too bad the thread title is false.

 

I can't access the video. Not everyone can. How does one series prove anything?

 

There were a lot of big names on that No-name team...

 

Hawks will beat celtics

 

Wow, that's a bold statement. I hope it is true though.

 

might be true to an extend, like team play can beat superstars sometimes, but lose most of the time, like how most international team play great team ball, but when US gets too heavily loaded with superstars(like this past year), there's just no way to beat a team with vast superior talent

 

The title is false. I will make it true.
Team Play Always Beats Superstars... in college

 

the thread title is laughable, since the its the biggest stars who always win it.

the only argument you can make in recent history is the pistons, but even then the team started 4 all-stars.....

 

Team Play with at least a Superstar Always Beats Superstars

Fix'd

 

2004 Detroit Pistons

1979 Seattle Supersonics

1999 New York Knicks

Those teams had all-stars, not superstars.

 

When you have All-Stars or borderline All-Stars at every position I think that works too.

 

Lenny Wilkens is a top 50 all time player

 

Iono.. did the Rockets have any superstars when we won? I can only think of Cassell and Horry.

 

I think the word "superstar" needs to be replaced with "talent."

Talent beats No-Talent.

Yes, team play does make up for lesser talent to a certain extent. But not as much as many like to think... especially with NBA rules.

 

If I were owner of a team, I would never pay any player superstar salary. Basketball is a team sport, so no player should be getting paid like a third of the payroll.

What is the difference between a superstar and an all star anyways? Is a superstar who's an all star but also a leader of his team or a superstar is just someone who's really popular? Say for the Celtics, who's the superstar? or all of the Big Three are superstars? I don't know, the term "superstar" sounds kinda cheesy. I mean, what would Jordan be? Ultrastar?

 

Superstar is just a tier up. Multi year allstar so to speak. Their are people like Kirilenko and Brand etc.... who have made all star games and our all stars but wouldn't consider then Superstars.

 

And those teams rarely win - which is why you have 2 examples from the last 30 years (the 1999 Knicks didn't win a title). Far more often, the NBA champion has one of the 3 or 4 best players in the league on it.

Certainly since 1991, all the NBA champions except the Pistons have had Jordan, Shaq, Duncan, or Olajuwon on them.
