While today's NBA league players are teaming up with each other to attack the championship, the so-called "huddle culture", "super team" and other topics have also set off heated discussions.
Many people believe that LeBron James, the current king of the Lakers, is the source of all this, and it is bluntly said that it was when he went to the Miami Heat and formed a super team to complete the second consecutive hegemony, which made the entire league begin to change;Retired legend Carmelo Anthony doesn't think so. Anthony believes that even the Heat, who welcome James, Wade and Bosh, are not qualified to be called a superteam;In his definition, the so-called super team, in addition to the U.S. national team, should have at least four stars like the Lakers in '04 or the Celtics in '08. Whether it's the Lakers in '04 with Kobe, O'Neal Payton and Karl Malone, or the Celtics in '08 with Paul Pearce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo, for Anthony, any team with more than three stars is called a superteam, regardless of whether the team is ultimately successful or not.
In Anthony's view, although the Heat of that year wrote a second consecutive victory, it can still only be defined as a great team;When it comes to this season, Anthony admitted that the Clippers are the only super team this season. However, he also stressed that from past experience, super teams are usually beaten by great teams.
Speaking of the Clippers who now have Leonard, Paul George, Westbrook and Harden, Anthony pointed out the poor situation in the early days, bluntly saying that the stars need to be willing to do coolies and take the initiative to ask the coach what they need to do, and he thinks that Westbrook's current situation is just like when he (Anthony) played in the Thunder.
