I apologize for mixing the years, but how did a guy who averaged 14pts a game win finals MVP If his defense did nothing?
You just mentioned Draymond and Rondo as part of other Superteams core. So my question of all of the players the had or even have now which one of them is as good as Draymond or Rondo was during their championship runs?
I repeat my stance again, which was were we had diverging opinions, if Gasol, Ariza, Bazemore and Howard are your 4th-7th man, you cannot in good conscience call that a Superteam. No matter how panel beat it that is a fact.

He actually averaged 17 pts per game on 61% shooting barely taking 10 shots per game that's how

If you are your team's primary facilitator then you are part of its core. Why are you struggling with such a simple concept. Which means you have no business calling them role players because they were not role players

Any team with Westbrook, AD and Lebron is a Superteam. You can argue till you're blue in the face, that is not my concern. Bronsexual dishonesty didn't start today. There are people who didn't believe the Miami Heatles were a Superteam so what else is new

Khanben:

PS: Kawhi players profile reads
"...Known early in his career primarily as an elite defender and floor spacer, Leonard began taking on a larger offensive responsibility from the..."
And he was 2nd team all defense in that championship year.
He didn't sniff the award his first two years so don't tell me he was a top 5 wing defender without any proof

Dame has been a$$ all through this Olympics. I really don't know why Pop starts Him. He has not been able to get His offense going and His defense is straight up trash. They need to move Jrue to the point, Dev to the 2 and Bring in one of Tatum or Middleton at the SF position.

I agree that the Slovenian have been phenomenal so far in this outing but I believe the Yankee guys have their antidote..

By the way, France is leading Slovenia by 69-59 at the moment

I said they were not a Superteam when all they had was Lebron, AD, Westbrook, Gasol, Ariza, Howard, Wellington and Howard.

PS: I still have the Nets winning it all though if they can stay healthy

I have been complaining about Dame from game one, worsestill, he is a defensive liability. Pop pulled down the hammer by benching him and giving Holiday and Booker extended minutes. Jrue played most of his minutes as a PG and he used his size as an advantage to get a lot of buckets inside.

Truthfully, I will like for Tatum to continue to come from the bench and this is why. Tatum brings in a spark especially offensively when he comes off the bench. He also has length to provide good perimeter defense. Middleton has had sparks of good showings.

It would be interesting to see what Pop does with his starting line up against a tougher and bigger France.

Bob Myers and the Warriors are stressing me. embarassed

Just get Jarrett Allen and let us have peace of mind at least FFS.

Any team with Lebron, Westbrook and AD is a super team. A super team is essentially a core of 3 super star players and that is what that Los Angeles team is.

The worst thing about Dame is how much a liability he his on defense. Australia went at him whenever he was on the floor and he had no answers even lavine that has a reputation of not being good defensively stepped up big time, but Dame has been awful.
No wonder the Blazers has one of the worst defense for some seasons now

Westbrook, AD and Lebron are not a team of superstars? No wahala. That one no weak me. It's LeBron acting like people already the expect worse from the Lakers because they became magically old, past their prime and then asking people to keep the energy narrative that weaks me. Alaye, it's your LeMinions saying your squad is not a superteam o. Saying you guys are old and aren't that good. You're not the underdog. Literally no one is even thinking that but the usual Lebron fashion, play the victim and then act like the underdog.

That Lakers team is top tier. I'm not buying the BS narrative. Barring injuries, anything lower than 2nd seed or Conference finals is a failure IMO.
