NBA: Most disappointing "super" teams of all time

[DMC]

wow....the standards for being a super team sure have fallen.......

When Allan Houston and Spree are mentioned, you bet.

Super teams are comprised of "face of the franchise" level players who were actually just that elsewhere.

Pau comes to mind, so does Howard and Steve Nash. If that team wasn't a super team there has never been one.

They are all disappointing though.

As for primes. Shaq was still there. Not 2001 prime but he was still top 2 or 3 player that year. Kobes prime is hard to define. He's the best 05 to 07 but the best version and most productive version of Kobe was 2002.

Probably should have said peak but it doesnt really matter the point stands.
All the teams listed were disappointments for various reasons but 2004 and 1984 Are the Laker teams I was most "sure of" that failed to ring ...if we are basing it off confidence going in to the season.

The Rox were aged and not the favorites but definitely warrant mentioning.
I dont remember all the disharmony but I do recall Pippen criticizing Chuck for being out of shape and lazy on defense. Which did not seem unfair at the time. I do think Pippen's ego was something that he does not get criticized for outside of the Kukoc incident.

06 Spurs

The bench was supposed to be better than other team's starters.

where do the LeBron/Kawhi/Paul George/Anthony Davis LAvengers rank?

Too lazy to watch but the Rockets with barkley, drexler, and olajuwon and then later barkley, pippen, and olajuwon are hopefully in that video.

FYI Pippen only played 54 games including playoffs with the Rockets. They lost 1-3 to the Lakers in the 1st Round

Shaq averaged 29.5 & 10.3
vs
Hakeem averaged 13.3 & 7.3


The following season Hakeem only played 44 games and barely averaged over 10 PPG

That Barkley Pippen dream Clyde rockets have to be there somewhere.

Not really most of them were washed up

[Chucho]

04 Mavs were disappointing AF considering they were close to the Finals in 03.

Antawn Jamison
Antoine Walker
Finding
Nash
Dirk

That's stacked.
