It can be said that kevin garnett invented the concept of super team. Before KG, few major high-level players left the team. If you are an important superstar, you stay with your team. They paid you handsomely. This is a win-win situation for the players, the team and the league, while the team remains relatively competitive.
You can even say Shaq gave up Orlando, but the Orlando-Lakers deal and Shaq didn't form a super team. Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles paid a huge price for betting as a rookie (if he had known that he would be chosen higher, no one would have predicted that he would become as great as him)!
I mean, when LeBron left, Cleveland had great economic consequences.
And then he came back like a hero? He came back because he could form a better super team in Cleveland. It turns out that Cleveland has the best accessories to form his next super team.
Even worse is how this will affect the NBA. Today's stars have left their team and lost their loyalty to anyone and anything.
I don't respect kevin durant either. Without him, GSW is completely fine. Now basically everyone wants to go to CLE, GSW, Nordic Airlines or Latin American Airlines. Because there are a lot of superstars.
It just lost more and more competitiveness. From KG to LeBron's perfection to KD imitation.
