Hakeem speaks out against NBA "superteams"

[DoubleClutch]

I think there was a pretty good tread on this even before all the Laker trades but anyways the Dream just spoke out:

"That's the dilemma the league has to balance to make sure each team at least has the opportunity to have a superstar and has the opportunity to be a championship contender. That's the goal of every team, but now the quality of players, true franchise players, is less than what it was."

So does this mean he won't help Dwight anymore?

Like Dream didn't think he was making a "Superteam" when Pippen and Chuck came into Houston...

Excellent point, and even though he won on his own, his team was one trade away from having Michael Jordan and Clyde Drexler.

he ain't wrong.

That's my GOAT center

And when he had his "superteam" Scottie and especially Chuck were flabby and sick. These nikkaz are in their primes

Imagines if dream had a superteam in his prime

This is the same nikka who beat the 86' Lakers his second year in the league with The Rockets

If we're talking about the Lakers superteam, the only player in his prime is Dwight.

Kobe fans would argue that he's still in his prime......

the only one that thought about a superteam was barkley, and hakeem surely didn't need that loser.

smh @ hakeem being given washed up stars.

ain't stop him from winning tho

 

[mastermind]

old athletes in being hypocrites shocker

 

[ThugLife]

I like these superteams

Makes the game exciting

 

[Primetime21]

he ain't wrong.

he aint right either. it's not the league's job to make sure every team has the opportunity to get a superstar. There's only 4 or 5 superstars in the game

Dream salty

That team would have been

 

[DoubleClutch]

but don't we all love seeing franchise players succeed and carry a team to a title....or try to at least? That's what the games missing. Rose might be the only one left, and he's not in a position to win anytime soon.

That team would have been

Rockets turned down the Blazers offer which was 2nd pick + Clyde for Sampson.

They could have taken Jordan or Chuck second
