SUPER TEAMS on NBA became a common thing now.

The current Brooklyn Nets, the 2017-2019 Golden State Warriors, the 2015-2017 Cavaliers and the current Los Angeles Lakers team.

NBA superstars has been teaming up in order for them to win an NBA ring.

Many NBA fans, analysts and personalities doesn't like the fact that it has now become a trend.


Charles Barkley is one example. Barkley has recently used the super teams against LeBron in GOAT conversation.

SportsCenter uploaded a photo of Barkley's statements on Instagram.


LeBron is amazing. What he's done in the community is amazing. In fairness, I wouldn't even put LeBron past Kobe, let's get that out of the way. I want to be fair. The reason I put Michael up there, above those other guys. LeBron has stacked his teams, let's be realistic.

James former teammate and 2016 NBA champion and now ESPN's analyst Richard Jefferson responds to Barkley's statements against James.

«In all fairness Chuck is right. LeBron didn't get drafted to a team with Shaq like Kobe. Cavs never found the Pippen in Bron's first 8 years because he was too good they never drafted that high. Ps Charles got drafted to a team with Dr.J, Moses Malone and 2 other Hall of Famers. I see his point though.»

Jefferson was emphasizing that super teams didn't start with LeBron. NBA superstars from 80s, 90s and early 2000s had super teams and have won titles with it.

Michael Jordan had Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. Magic Johnson had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy. Tim Duncan had Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. Kevin Garnett played with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen while Kobe Bryant had Shaq.

Tho Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan's teams were built and not bought. Still, their teams should be considered a super team.
