Hakeem speaks out against NBA "superteams"

[jadillac]

Oh so we can brush the turnovers aside like they don't count?

Rust or fatigue didn't play any part in that right?

Unless those turnovers were just Jordan dribbling the ball off his foot, then the defense should get some credit for taking the ball away from him, or making it more difficult

10 turnovers in gms 1 and 2 in 95
11 turnovers the entire series in 96

Against the same exact team...

So we just gon overlook a possible top 7 SG and HOF in Clyde Drexler going to houston and helping the Dream win a ship while averaging 20 and 7 while Hakeem was somewhat in his prime? We gon ignore thie lil "super" team right here right?

Old players and their hypocrisy I swear

Those n!ggas were 10+ years in when they joined the Rockets. Hell, Dream was a decade in when he won his first ring. I just think that the patience us gone from this generation. It's win now and do it where you want to...they really don't have to to work as hard. I think that players should want to be remembered for who they beat to get there.

I think the biggest difference now and the 90s era is that teams had better players 2-12. In Phoenix Chuck had KJ, Majerle, Ainge, Ced "Flow-On", Tom Chambers, Oliver Miller was wasn't a slouch, Socks, AC Green, Danny Manning etc. Glide had Terry Porter, Duckworth, Buck Williams, Clifford Robinson, Ainge, Kersey. To me, that's what makes the league competitive.

Most teams only get one shot at a superstar per generation, and have to make that team competitive. But now it just seems that there is no time, because after first contract, the player is ready to leave. That's my only gripe. If lebron was traded for Wade, cool or even Bosh with others.

This makes no sense.

Lebrons waits 700 days less than the time youre comfortable with a player moving on years its a crime.

Second, Lebron signed a second contract before leaving.

Third, you find it more admirable if GM puts together a trade rather than a player leaving on his own.

All of this sounds suspect. This generation won't wait my ass. These dudes are smarter
