The Boston Celtics of 2008 were a very iconic super team, and they are also known to many fans. Because they have a lot of very good and talented players in the team, they are a great super team based on the level of talent in their squad. They also succeeded in building a super team through trades for Garnett and Ray Allen, who won the championship in 2008.
When the Boston Celtics built their own super team, fans didn't criticize them too much. That's clearly unfair to a super team that was formed a few years later, especially when James joined the Miami Heat in 2010 to team up with Wade Bosh to complete the feat of reaching four finals and winning two championships. But there's been a lot of bitter criticism of James and the Heat super team, all because they were so good that they chose to play together for more success. Someone even burned James' jersey after he left the Cavaliers.
But recently NBA star Oscar Robertson came out and offered his opinion on super teams, arguing that super teams should not have double standards, citing the examples of the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat.
"When Boston got Garnett and Ray Allen, it was a trade for David Stern and the NBA allowed that as well. Everything was fine,... But when LeBron goes to Miami, oh man, how can you do that? ”
James' move to the Miami Heat is indeed very controversial, but it is not wrong for him personally to make this choice. At that time, the Cleveland Cavaliers did not find him a core player who could help him win the championship, or the Cleveland Cavaliers were also powerless, as a small-ball city team, it is difficult for any star to join such a team, more is that some veterans are willing to shoot.
When James returned to the Cavaliers, things changed. After losing to the Warriors in 2016, Durant directly joined the team that beat himself and built a super team, which also made Durant's shirt burned after leaving, and also suffered a lot of criticism, but obviously not as much criticism as James.
Once a player in the NBA chooses to build a super team to win the championship, they are accompanied by endless criticism and hatred from fans. This is just the basketball atmosphere that NBA fans and netizens hope that basketball can be purer, and hope that one person and one city will lead the team to compete for the deer. Of course, players have the right to make choices that are beneficial to themselves, but fans still want to have fewer super teams, because this can also be better for small-ball city teams.
