Oscar Robertson proposes double standards to NBA super teams Oscar Robertson puts double standards on NBA super teams: When Boston gets Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, it's a deal for David Stern, and the NBA allows that. Everything was fine... But when LeBron goes to Miami, gosh, how can you do that?

The Boston Celtics in 2008 were an iconic team. Many fans are well aware that there are a lot of great players on their team, and depending on their level of talent, they can be considered a super team. Getting Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen through trades gave them a great squad and, obviously, they could get the championship.

When the Boston Celtics built their super team, there was no backlash against them. For the super team just a few years later, that can't be said, LeBron James joined the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. There's a lot of mean words about LeBron James and the super team as a whole, just because of how good they are perceived. Some even burned LeBron James' jersey after james left the Cavaliers.

NBA legend Oscar Robertson recently used the examples of the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat to call for double standards for super teams.

LeBron James' trip to the Miami Heat is highly controversial, but it definitely makes sense.

At the time, the Cleveland Cavaliers failed to wrap around him with a core that could help him win the championship, but apparently, that was different during his second time at Cleveland.

Kevin Durant had a similar level of hatred when he formed a super team with the Oklahoma City Thunder after failing to win the championship, and there is no doubt that the players will be hated a lot after the super team is formed.

At the end of the day, super teams do increase your chances of winning a championship, and players have the right to make decisions that benefit their careers in the free agent market.
