the Melo trade is interesting bc the early career team often absorbs a guard’s growing pains and volatility, then the next team gets the peak: Nash, Kidd, Billups, Baron, Arenas, Harden, Dragic, Bibby, Lowry, Hali (kinda), Brunson, etc all had this arc to some degree
A superteam is when you have multiple players doing different things at a level that’s top in the league
Having 2 DPOY candidates, the rebound king, an MVP candidate and most versatile player in the league
..IS FAR MORE HELP than secondary scorers
Bill Russell won 11.
Kareem won 6.
MJ won 6.
Kobe & Tim won 5.
LeBron & Steph won 4.
Gets harder to win multiple titles each era. Will be interesting to see which superstar in this next era gets their second ring first.
@rmarion_allen@twowayshai It’s only been a year since he got traded and it was to a team not built for him at all. No defenders. And this year he was literally injured for the playoffs lol
