Wait, what?
After last night’s loss against the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, LeBron James was so distraught that he said something we can’t even comprehend. When asked what he thinks of what the Dubs have done, as far as building a ‘Super Team’ and his own experience with them, he gave the most surprising response.
He said he doesn’t believe in ‘Super Teams,’ nor does he feel like he’s been part of any.
Leaving Cleveland to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami wasn’t a super team, apparently. It’s not like they went to four finals in a row and won two rings or anything. Then coming back to The Land with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love wasn’t a super team either. Because super teams don’t go to the finals three years straight and win championships for their city after a 52 year drought.
You need more people, King James. Literally. Because nobody is beating the Warriors right now.
