@DrAc0niXz You will have to elaborate. In my first comment I think I was clear about how it correlates to Jxmmy's content. Second comment is response to Chris who apparently deleted his comment.
@Chris If you are judging a team to be a superteam by it's success then every winner is a superteam. Superteam is a stacked team that is expected to do great things. Superteams are declared before you see them play, not after. That's why Nets are currently considered a failed superteam - a superteam that failed to produce.
I like your takes, except on the super teams. Super teams are based off the perception of the players involved, not looking at their combined +/- in hindsight. If that were the case, super teams could never fail because you would only consider a team super if 3 players reached a certain +/-.
i like that and agree 100 percent. it reminds me the lakers with shaq, kobe, the mailman, and the glove. yea karl and gary were older, but thats still a super team lol and they made the finals. they lost and i guess in hindsight, based off jimmys take in this video, they arent a superteam. but they absolutely are. just like barkley, drexler, and hakeem. kyrie was the first overall pick in the draft, lebron was a former first pick, and love was a first round pick. all 3 all stars, and all 3 meeting up on one team. it wasnt like they were all drafted by the same team, stayed on the same team, and became great together. and that shit with the lakers with ad, russ, lebron, etc etc. yea that was created to be a super team. it just didnt pan out that way lol
I low-key think if you give Prime Ben Simmons (2018-19 Simmons) Curry shooting, he would be hands down the greatest player to ever play ball. And minus the fact that he is more loyal to FaZe than the NBA. He could do everything except shoot threes. Dunking, Defense, Playmaking, he had it all. The only thing he was missing was that dime. Give him Curry's shooting, easy best player ever. Even with Ray Allens shooting he'd still be the best. Change my mind.
@Bill Blaski lmao i just watched that video, and people were saying the same shit in the comments of that video. i was thinking like yeaa it was a good video like always, but it wasnt like jimmy spent the last month making some masterpiece, and it was about travels and carries
@CactusTTP _ lol a video about how everyone travels and carries isn't exactly the "craziest video the world has ever seen" lol still a good video cus it was 100% accurate and we all kinda forget about it cus it does make NBA more exciting
@Rajerdot No problem, just open any video of Jxmy with a title similar to this and if it has the same music with takes or the Hot Takes intro, part of the series
Hey Jimmy, I don’t know if you’ve seen OTE but they’re starting to make a lot of noise could you make a video on what their team means for highschool. It’s practically a super team they’ve built which I honestly think could beat a d1 school

More thoughts about the 70s NBA. It started with a bang when a great and charismatic NY team won a ring, and then Los Angeles and New York again. But much of the rest of the decade was smaller markets (Milwaukee, Seattle, Portland, Golden State, Washington). There was no dominant team. Kareem was the best player, but he was media poison and had no serious rival (though he might have if Walton had stayed healthy). Two of the most exciting players (Walton and David Thompson) flamed out early. The style of play was great - culminating in the Celtic-Lakers rivalry in the 80s - but fewer people were watching. Popularity goes in cycles. The Bird-Magic, Lakers-Celtics rivalry, Jordan and the dominant Bulls, and the league and media finding their commercial stride made the difference, not the caliber of players.
My hot take is: a super team is a team constructed through free agency/Sign and trade to bring multiple time all stars/MVPs/Finals MVP’s together from different teams to chase a ring. a super team, is not a team that has the same core pieces that develop together over time. Lebron has been on 3 super teams, just because they didn’t perform doesn’t mean that their artificial make up doesn’t get them the title: “Super Team”
My hot take: If Jrue Holiday played in the 90s, he'd be seen as arguably the greatest defensive PG of all time by now because the 90s was so much more defense oriented, but because of the offensive heavy era Jrue plays in now, he will be underrated as a defender in the grand scheme of things since it's so much harder these days to play that kind of defense.
@Homo Habilis I agree. Just give him any jumpshot over 6/10 rating and he is automatically the best player ever. he just needs a dime that's all. He's the perfect player if he had shooting ability.
Hot take: lebron is behind mj Bird magic Kareem shaq Kobe Duncan steph and maybe even pippen and hakeem. Lebrons Great but he doesn’t need to be the goat. He hurt his legacy by getting swept in the finals joining the super team heat flopping and having said he was the goat himself

@fiix_ii a ton of players would be the greatest of all time if they had Curry’s shooting on top of their existing skill set bro, that’s not saying much
I low-key think if you give Prime Ben Simmons (2018-19 Simmons) Curry shooting, he would be hands down the greatest player to ever play ball. And minus the fact that he is more loyal to FaZe than the NBA. He could do everything except shoot threes. Dunking, Defense, Playmaking, he had it all. The only thing he was missing was that dime.

Im gonna have to heavily disagree with your reasoning in the last take with superteams because if you ask me the actual definition of what a "superteam" is has started to change as bigger and more loaded teams have been formed. I think most people would have called the Lebron, kyrie and love cavs in 2015 till about 2017 a superteam. But after the Warriors signed KD in the 2016 offseason and signed boogie in the 2017 offseason that sort of superteam standard has just risen. Just my opinion tho
this video made it very clear that Jimmy doesn't know what the term "superteam" means. it doesn't mean they perfmormed well looking back, it's a team that consists of multiple high caliber players and is assembled by trading and free agencies. the EXPECTATIONS are high obviously but it doesn't mean that it will work out. the term is coming from the music industry where a superband is formed by multiple well known musicians. they might be good musicians in their own right, maybe they had good albums solo or with other bands but that doesn't mean it will work out for their superband.
If there was one duo that would be scary to come up against it would've been Barkley and MJ on the same side. Those two would never lose and get inside the opponents heads. What a nasty combo that would've been.
Nice to see Peja up high on that graph. I feel like he’s already being forgotten as one of the greatest shooters ever. He once scored his teams first 20 points in the game without missing a shot. And that was AFTER he was traded from the kings.
my hot take: half of LeBron finals should not be used against him. for example, 2018 final, no one is beating the warriors. LeBron literally carried bench players to the final and people have the audacity to use this against him
That’s not a hot take that’s a fact, it’s a sad thing that braindead warriors fans and casuals will regardless use this to say that Jordan’s better than Lebron
@Mr. Miles no bro stop. I promise you they wouldn't have stood a chance. They would have had no idea how to defend golden state at all. Not even the 96 team was guarding that offense bro I promise you. If you disagree you have not watched both team play games enough. Golden states 2017 and 2018 offense is unstoppable.
I don't know, 96 was more stacked than given credit for here. It also had Shaq, Scottie Pippen, Penny Hardaway, Dennis Rodman, Grant Hill, and Dikembe Mutombo. Take away injuries from Penny and Grant Hill, and they would've almost certainly been all-time greats too, so injury-free in their prime, that's a dangerous line up.
Good analysis on all fronts addressed in your video. I 100% agree that LeBron has only been part of one super-team, the Heat, and the answer to that question is obvious in the fact that they one two NBA championships, instead of one. Though, that got me thinking about the meaning of winning two NBA championships without a super-team in Cleveland and LA. It just seems even more incredible a feat. Especially given the fact that both the Cavs and Lakers were bad teams when he joined them. Has anyone else win a championship, in their second year, with each team they joined, as their best player? While, I believe that MJ is the GOAT, this accomplishment by LeBron, seems quite incredible. (outside of Miami, which I expected would wine championships).
What a cherry-picked stat. Yeah, that's cool that he won after joining teams. Micheal jordan stayed on the team that drafted him and turned them into the best dynasty the nba would see till the golden state warriors. i personally think the Lakers is a superteam, i mean, yall love to hype up lebron and AD, plus a pretty good russel that's 3 top 30 players of all time. I wonder how many rings he could win if he stayed with the team that drafted him.
The last take is definitely quite skewed in categorization. When the Nets were assembled they were definitely considered a super team. D-Mitch and D-Book are also generally not considered superstars.
@Bach Nguyen Viet I disagree. You have to remember how good Kevin Love was when he had no other talent in Minnesota. They blamed management for his lack of success. Kyrie was the biggest rising star at point. They were easily favored to win it all at the time. Kevin Love was at least on par with Chris Bosh in Toronto. Dwyane Wade was already beginning to decline. That's why the Heat didn't win year 1. Cavs were a super team.
@We The Deplorables they were super teams by intent and design just not the results. "We sucked! Told you we didn't go all out by giving away young players and draft picks, firing and hiring coaches and influencing team decisions to build a super team!"
Dbook was considered a superstar. Maybe not anymore given we've seen him under-perform and choke 2 post seasons in a row. Donovan Mitchell probably not but close to it.
@Jean-Patrice Paluku well no shit they were on shitty teams before joining a superteam with Lebron. Steph also didn't make the playoffs the year he was surrounded by a bad supporting cast (2020), is he a bad player now? Too bad Lebron can't win without a superteam though. 😢

The Cavs were a super team. "Fringe All Star" Kevin Love started in the all star game the year before he was traded to Cleveland. Lebron and Kyrie started too and Kyrie won the All Star Game MVP. His numbers declined because he was the chris bosh on the Cavs
@BATBR0 Look up the definition of the word perennial. Russ had 9 AS appearances prior to that season and averaged .1 Rebounds off a triple double. Russ missed one all star game in 7 seasons, that's what one defines as a "perennial all star" my guy.
@FireflyExotica westbrook wasnt an all star when he came to the lakers... So they cant be a super team regardless of Ad and lebron being in their prime. its 1 super star and 2 perennial all stars. Lakers had the super start and all star in AD thats it.

@FGPT Flat_top_king12 Like I get you don't want to say Lebron's in his prime because he's 37 years old but come on man, he just had a 30/8/6 season. Semantics is useless when a guy has that kind of season. And it isn't like this is the outlier for his older years.
Patrick Ewing was one of the best jump shooting centers of all time as well. He was ahead of his time in that regard, and would probably have developed a three, if he was playing today. He got a lot of flack at the time, because back then, they discouraged centers from being away from the basket, but as he got older, he evolved his game to include a consistent jump shot which became an important aspect of his arsenal.
@Mohammad Al Fattal how can you consider the 2022 lakers a superteam? westbrook had not made the all star team in a weak east. they have a super star an all star and thats it.
@Mike.Cdn7 still a superteam.. just a failed superteam.. Russ can still ball out and be an all-nba player.. he did average 22/11/11 in 2021 in Washington, rebounds and assists were career high averages.. He had a subpar first half of the season but played Russ ball in the latter half.. think they went 17/4 at the end to make the playoffs.. 5 HOF is a superteam.

IMO '89 was more impressive, Bird, Jordan, Magic, Barkley, Hakeem, Ewing, Stockton, Malone although Bird was hurt for a portion of the year, you still had Isaiah, Robinson, Drexler. Malone and Kareem were on their last legs in '88.
When saying that this has the most loaded talent of all time, it means that each and every player is good, but when looking relatively, they look bad. If we put a player in a time machine and but them in the 80’s they would likely be able to be a star in the NBA. There is a wider net of insane talent today, while there was a small few that fit that back then
@Anders Olson I low-key think if you give Prime Ben Simmons (2018-19 Simmons) Curry shooting, he would be hands down the greatest player to ever play ball. And minus the fact that he is more loyal to FaZe than the NBA. He could do everything except shoot threes. Dunking, Defense, Playmaking, he had it all. The only thing he was missing was that dime. Give him Curry's shooting, easy best player ever. Even with Ray Allens shooting he'd still be the best. Change my mind.

@Anders Olson Most people don’t understand that with time, athletes get better. It’s easy to see in running, swimming and other timed sports. But it’s just harder to understand with basketball. Basketball has become a globalized sport these days, a much wider range of talent to choose from. The players in the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s were nearly 100% American. Nowadays Luka, Embiid, Giannas, Jokic etc are all non-american. This wider range of talent allows for guys like this to exist. People simply look back in time with rose tinted glasses.
If you were to take a player from that era and placed them today, with the exception of a couple guys on that list, they would likely be mid players. I’ll likely get a lot of flak if anyone sees this, but Larry bird would not be looked at in the same light if he were to play today
I’d still argue LeBron’s Cavs were a super team. Look at what Kevin Love was doing right before he got to Cleveland. He was a bonafide star. Just because he didn’t fit in properly with the Cavs and didn’t retain that star status moving forward doesn’t mean it wasn’t a super team. Compare that with Russ before coming to the Lakers. His efficiency numbers with the Wizards were terrible. He wasn’t still a star player when he was traded to the Lakers. Star in name only, not by play.

My hot take : if it is easier to score for euro players coming to the nba ( as Luka said, which i agree with) then it is harder for nba great defenders to defend (also I believe that nba rules make it easier for the offensive side). That's why I would love to see an all-defense nba team try their hand in a fiba match, where the rules make defense tougher.
I think it’s actually a lot more even between the ‘88 group and the ‘22 group. Kareem had a better career but if we’re comparing single seasons then 2022 Embiid smokes his 1988 season (under 15ppg). If we’re doing it the other way around and basing it off peaks then I think Kawhi had a higher peak than Karl Malone so you can add one to the ‘22 list either way. Moses Malone in 1988 averaged 20 and 11, Jokic is currently averaging 24, 11 and 10 on 63% shooting. I can understand having Jordan edge out Lebron but Lebron edges out almost every other player on the ‘88 list. Maybe you could argue that ‘88 was more top heavy with quality (Bird, Magic, Jordan) but I think the ‘22 list is a lot deeper, or at the very least equal.
9:10 i kinda hate how Jimmy forgot about Grant Hill (3rd in MVP votings) and Tim Hardaway (4th in MVP votings). I'd take one of them over Gary Payton any day. that being said, if you go to top 10 or top 15 it gets even clearer that the 90s were the best era of basketball.
The Nets take is a little disingenuous. Before the rule change James Harden was still considered a bonafide superstar & everybody called that team a super team. In hindsight trying to say they weren't one only after they failed doesn't track. That was a super team.
@HAL 9000 Was Karl Malone a superstar? Steve Nash? John Stockton? Allen Iverson? Charles Barkley? Patrick Ewing? Come back with something better than that.
@FireflyExotica Except Harden has not won shit ever, and he will retire without a ring. Only thing consistent in his gameplay is guarantee that he DOES not win a chip.
So you’re saying that ‘21 nets was not a super team? @11:51. That’s literally 3 undeniable all-stars and arguably top 25 players of this era. Definitely formidable, they just did not work out in the end with all the factors against them. (I don’t like the Nets whatsoever but that was just a wrong take)

I agree with everything apart of the big 3. The fact that at certain season a team doesn't deliver doesn't mean it's not a super team. And yes, I consider all of the teams mentioned as superteams. You must know nothing about basketball to not recognize the amount of talent.

It’s relativity too. Scalabrine looks like a YMCA guy who plays in the NBA but watching him play against top HS and college players hes actually pretty strong, athletic, and quick. Ive seen guys that are 6’8” and they move like snails because its really hard to be that size so NBA guys are freaks of nature literally
2018, the Rockets 🚀 would've beat GS undoubtedly that year. all it took was one hamstring to get injured that ultimately gave them a easy ride to a ring. that year was the Rockets year. not GS. that ring will always be one of the least respected rings to me. but a ring is a ring 💁🏾♂️..it should've been the Rockets. thats all
When it comes to “The road you must take to the finals!” When it comes to “Quality of opposition!” Isaiah Thomas is a top 5 player all time!!! I said it!

I LOVE your videos and analysis. You seem extremely objective. But your super team argument is structurally Flawed. Super team is not about performance, it's about PAST performance. Sometimes superstars don't play well together for a myriad of reasons..so the better statistical analysis would be a comparison of how those players performed the year(s) previous to joining one another, not what they actually did together.
just the first 28 seconds of the intro are worth of a standalone clip. And full credits for the director, producer, cinematographer, extras, mj, stuff, drama, extras, etc.
The 2021 Nets were 100% a superteam. Their "All-Star," James Harden, was their MVP. He was the best performer in the entire first round of the 2021 playoffs. And people still (for whatever reason) considered him their third best player. That was a superteam.
@Lee H no need to be rude man, you have your opinion as well as all other people. But hey, if you want to ne that way who am I to stop you, but I dont have to talk to you anymore, was rrying to have nice debate Wish you all tje best with your "factual opinions" but please skip me with tjem from now
@DK101 lol - you need to go argue with third graders. Your reading comprehension sucks. Go back and read what I said. If you can't figure it out, I can live with that.
@NBA ssasin Nobody who has any shred of a brain and basketball knowledge, and certainly not 'most people', will call that Nets team a "super-team" in five years. Everybody gets on a bandwagon, but at the end of the day they'll be remembered as a failed experiment. That's it. They were a super-failure.
@Lee H 2019 warriors arent a superteam then? same team that went 73-9 though and won 2 years in a row? injuries are inevitable and in that case the bucks basically i could almost say purposefully injured them. they didnt stand a chance regardless. 2019 warriors arent as good as 2017 or 2018 when its the same "superteam" roster because of an injury?
@Lee H fam you are allowed to have your opinion what is a super team I just gave you an example how winning does not decide what super team is No one decides that actually it is a fan made term which you use however you like but majority of people (look anywhere on the internet, even here in comments) would call that Nets team a superteam You are right about them not doing crap but for most people that is not the condition of a team being a superteam, but the players that were on that team This next season clippers team is in most people books a superteam for example and will be even if they dont win anything (which in my opinion they wont but that is another topic)
To anyone who thinks this is the best era of collective talent playing at once, let me remind you, every member of the 92 dream team were playing in the NBA at the same time. Let that sink in.
One thing about the KAT take: those graphs fail to account for the difficulty of the shots taken. KATs ability to create a 3pt shot for himself is way better than a lot of the guys above him which factors into being a good shooter.
The Nets are a superteam on paper. certainly heading into the first year. Prime KD, nearly a prime playmaking Harden (or so we all thought), and a third-team all-nba type guy in Kyrie. plenty of smart people thought this was just as much top end talent as we've ever seen on a single team

@A. Fields fr, it's like they just started watching last year. It's obvious that some of these people only look at the news and espn but don't watch live games
On paper? Boston and Bucks were getting destroyed. It wasn't until Harden and Kyrie both got injured during the playoffs. Harden was forced to play again when Kyrie was out due to an injury. The rest is history when Kd stepped on the line with that 3.

Dude, I love your stats and takes. I genuinely believe you could replace Skip the most BIASED sports commentator in my opinion. You and Shannon would be must see TV.
The Cavs "superteam" evaluation is a bit unfair. If you're talking about the top 3 players, i'd say its nearly identical to the Heat. Love even took the same role as Bosh and everyone aside from Lebron made statistical and role sacrifices. The difference was in the depth. Those Heat teams were ridiculously stacked and IMO, won both of those titles for the "big 3". This is kind of interesting... a bit interesting, not super interesting but a bit.... actually not really that interesting. Anyway, what makes a "superteam"? Results or intent and original construction or construction and perception? What is it that excludes the Lakers from having a "superteam"? Can superteams be a superteam and fail? I feel like that's a bit of an unfair standard. Unless its results, i cant see any reason to exclude the Lakers from being considered a superteam. Even a declined Russ is still putting up nearly a triple double.
There is some crazy revisionist history going on here. The 2021 Nets and 2022 Lakers were definitely superteams. They may have been failed superteams but superteams nonetheless. The Nets had 2 MVP winners and a perennial All-Star. The Lakers had 2 of the top 10 players in the league and Westbrook who at the time was still seen as an All-Star caliber player.
@Ryan Mitchell OK. Why are you interpreting it as me hating on LeBron? It's not hating on LeBron to call a team with AD, LeBron, and Westbrook a superteam even though it was a failure.
@you scare me so it doesn’t matter if their good playing with lebron… it only matters if they were all stars in the past??? lmao what did lebron do to you
@you scare me so it doesn’t matter if their good playing with lebron… it only matters if they were all stars in the past??? lmao what did lebron do to you
Yea but what you didn't mention was when LeBron made the Miami heat team and even the Cleveland cavaliers after there were no other teams with three stars on it like that during that time. So they were a super team. Nowadays, almost every basketball team has three superstars on it, so it's the norm now so they aren't in super teams anymore because it's the norm.
my hot take: I think that steph curry will easily be the best point guard of all time when he retires and he is already a top 15, possible even top 10, player of all time
I think on sheer talent alone, the Nets were absolutely a super team. Injuries and "free thinking" derailed them.
Steve Nash derailed them💀
@Finance Guy Flies 612AB oh i thought you meant an American that just so happens to have darker skin got off the bolshevik plantation
@Based Nbearded just to be clear…
By “free thinking” we’re talking about ppl who think they’re on the management team but they’re actually a player who didn’t get their contract extended? 😂
How dare those damn black people think for themselves I'm with you brother
@Cliii iiq He’s also comically bad at catching passes
Steph Curry is extremely athletic even for NBA standards. Dude's body coordination and change of direction is literally elite .
Right his stamina is off the charts
His movement was HOF
Micheal Jorbum I’m dead😂😂😂
“Retired because no more plumbers to beat” was the funniest one
That guy was definitely a LeFlop fan. 😂
Nah zions ass is bigger than lowrys😂😂

Thanks jxmy, for consistently putting out the best nba content on PLclip. Every time you release a video I’m absolutely pumped
@Juicy Chicken Nobody pumps with Jesus
I low-key think if you give Prime Ben Simmons (2018-19 Simmons) Curry shooting, he would be hands down the greatest player to ever play ball. And minus the fact that he is more loyal to FaZe than the NBA. He could do everything except shoot threes. Dunking, Defense, Playmaking, he had it all. The only thing he was missing was that dime. Give him Curry's shooting, easy best player ever. Even with Ray Allens shooting he'd still be the best. Change my mind.
@Juicy Chicken well, I am. I follow Jesus and I love Him. But it's not a problem to enjoy good videos like these ones lol
U should be pumped for Jesus..
I've gotta say the same! I discovered this YT channel some weeks ago and I'm absolutely addicted to it!
Steph deserves more credit for his manual dexterity, and (nowadays) infinite stamina. Those are athletic traits, too.
jimmy hasn't posted a video in over a month, i almost guarantee hes about to make the craziest basketball video the world has ever seen
You called it mate
@Bill Blaski lmao i just watched that video, and people were saying the same shit in the comments of that video. i was thinking like yeaa it was a good video like always, but it wasnt like jimmy spent the last month making some masterpiece, and it was about travels and carries
@Bill Blaski lol yeh they b meat ridin 😂
@CactusTTP _ lol a video about how everyone travels and carries isn't exactly the "craziest video the world has ever seen" lol still a good video cus it was 100% accurate and we all kinda forget about it cus it does make NBA more exciting
You were kinda right
Hot take: If Allen Iverson was 6’6, he would be a top 10 all time player.
He wouldn’t have been as fast
My hot take: curry is not going to be in the top ten for the MVP
This episode should be a series. Keep it up! :)
@Rajerdot No problem, just open any video of Jxmy with a title similar to this and if it has the same music with takes or the Hot Takes intro, part of the series
@PhoeNiX Nice! I didn't realize that. Thanks for the heads-up. Good Job!
It is a series the hot takes series
Hey Jimmy, I don’t know if you’ve seen OTE but they’re starting to make a lot of noise could you make a video on what their team means for highschool. It’s practically a super team they’ve built which I honestly think could beat a d1 school
I low-key think if you give Prime Ben Simmons (2018-19 Simmons) Curry shooting, he would be hands down the greatest player to ever play ball. And minus the fact that he is more loyal to FaZe than the NBA. He could do everything except shoot threes. Dunking, Defense, Playmaking, he had it all. The only thing he was missing was that dime. Give him Curry's shooting, easy best player ever. Even with Ray Allens shooting he'd still be the best. Change my mind.
The Zion and Kyle Lowry one had me crying.
Bro it had me in tears lol
@GoldLion90 🤣🤣🤣
The only NBA debate that matters
Zion’s just big. Lowry is small sporting that absolute PEACH bro it is not an argument.
Kyles dumpy is untouchable. Should be jimmys next vid
He tried to make superteams tho. That he just didnt succeed is not a great argument imo.
More thoughts about the 70s NBA. It started with a bang when a great and charismatic NY team won a ring, and then Los Angeles and New York again. But much of the rest of the decade was smaller markets (Milwaukee, Seattle, Portland, Golden State, Washington). There was no dominant team. Kareem was the best player, but he was media poison and had no serious rival (though he might have if Walton had stayed healthy). Two of the most exciting players (Walton and David Thompson) flamed out early. The style of play was great - culminating in the Celtic-Lakers rivalry in the 80s - but fewer people were watching. Popularity goes in cycles. The Bird-Magic, Lakers-Celtics rivalry, Jordan and the dominant Bulls, and the league and media finding their commercial stride made the difference, not the caliber of players.
Great summary of the decade 👍
My hot take is: a super team is a team constructed through free agency/Sign and trade to bring multiple time all stars/MVPs/Finals MVP’s together from different teams to chase a ring. a super team, is not a team that has the same core pieces that develop together over time. Lebron has been on 3 super teams, just because they didn’t perform doesn’t mean that their artificial make up doesn’t get them the title: “Super Team”
facts ...him using bc they failed as an excuse is a reach
I like these hot take episodes. Keep them up!
My hot take: If Jrue Holiday played in the 90s, he'd be seen as arguably the greatest defensive PG of all time by now because the 90s was so much more defense oriented, but because of the offensive heavy era Jrue plays in now, he will be underrated as a defender in the grand scheme of things since it's so much harder these days to play that kind of defense.
Would've given mj a tough time.
That's a great take and I always said Jrue was underrated
@Solo Plus they don't get traveling calls now like they did back then. However, I think being able to play zone helps the defense.
@Homo Habilis I agree. Just give him any jumpshot over 6/10 rating and he is automatically the best player ever. he just needs a dime that's all. He's the perfect player if he had shooting ability.
@fiix_ii Ben Simmons doesn’t even need curry level shooting. Give him D Wade level shooting and he’s the best player in the league
I just wanted to say your content is amazing
You deserve every penny you get from PLclip
Better than 99% of the content on ESPN
I agree with you on all takes other than the last, calling kevin love a “fringe all star” is just disrespectful
Hot take: lebron is behind mj Bird magic Kareem shaq Kobe Duncan steph and maybe even pippen and hakeem. Lebrons Great but he doesn’t need to be the goat. He hurt his legacy by getting swept in the finals joining the super team heat flopping and having said he was the goat himself
A lot of people wondering where and how is Jimmy, I wonder if he’s just taking a break for his mental and overall health. Hope you’re ok too

What's up with these direct massages? There's a bunch of channels with this?
Lebron and Zion Williams are related 😎
The Ben Simmons one actually made me burst out laughing.
@Zach Cate or even d Wade would fix him
@fiix_ii a ton of players would be the greatest of all time if they had Curry’s shooting on top of their existing skill set bro, that’s not saying much
@fiix_ii ifs are a dime a dozen.

Is it bad that i lowkey disagree with it 😭😭😭 idk maybe im off crack
Who actually thinks that curry is unathletic though 😭 this man runs around the court and gets back to defense on time on most plays
@Picket Fence even then, Steph is still really athletic.
@Abby Joe and that is explosive power not athleticism
He not athletic can't jump is slow is not strong is not lengthy
I feel like people think muscular is synonymous with athleticism when in reality athletes at the highest level are leaned out
Sports science says he runs twice the distance of the average NFL Wide receiver
Im gonna have to heavily disagree with your reasoning in the last take with superteams because if you ask me the actual definition of what a "superteam" is has started to change as bigger and more loaded teams have been formed. I think most people would have called the Lebron, kyrie and love cavs in 2015 till about 2017 a superteam. But after the Warriors signed KD in the 2016 offseason and signed boogie in the 2017 offseason that sort of superteam standard has just risen. Just my opinion tho
this video made it very clear that Jimmy doesn't know what the term "superteam" means. it doesn't mean they perfmormed well looking back, it's a team that consists of multiple high caliber players and is assembled by trading and free agencies. the EXPECTATIONS are high obviously but it doesn't mean that it will work out. the term is coming from the music industry where a superband is formed by multiple well known musicians. they might be good musicians in their own right, maybe they had good albums solo or with other bands but that doesn't mean it will work out for their superband.
勇士簽下KD ,不是為了要抵抗2016的裁判不公平嗎?
If there was one duo that would be scary to come up against it would've been Barkley and MJ on the same side. Those two would never lose and get inside the opponents heads. What a nasty combo that would've been.
Nice to see Peja up high on that graph. I feel like he’s already being forgotten as one of the greatest shooters ever. He once scored his teams first 20 points in the game without missing a shot. And that was AFTER he was traded from the kings.

Hope ur okay. You should update everyone on the community posts if you wanna take a break. I hope ur fine
my hot take: half of LeBron finals should not be used against him. for example, 2018 final, no one is beating the warriors. LeBron literally carried bench players to the final and people have the audacity to use this against him
That’s not a hot take that’s a fact, it’s a sad thing that braindead warriors fans and casuals will regardless use this to say that Jordan’s better than Lebron
But if LeBron only went to the finals 4 times, people would use that against him more
@Shadow Rasengan The 2017 team was better than the 2016 team that beat Golden state. Shows you how much better the warriors were with KD.
@Mr. Miles no bro stop. I promise you they wouldn't have stood a chance. They would have had no idea how to defend golden state at all. Not even the 96 team was guarding that offense bro I promise you. If you disagree you have not watched both team play games enough. Golden states 2017 and 2018 offense is unstoppable.
If you put mj on that team they’re winning 🏆 the championship
I don't know, 96 was more stacked than given credit for here. It also had Shaq, Scottie Pippen, Penny Hardaway, Dennis Rodman, Grant Hill, and Dikembe Mutombo. Take away injuries from Penny and Grant Hill, and they would've almost certainly been all-time greats too, so injury-free in their prime, that's a dangerous line up.
We miss you g! Hope the family is good❤️‼️
With all the good young players I'm sure years later we will see this as one of the best eras of basketball ever seen.
100%
Nope
Good analysis on all fronts addressed in your video. I 100% agree that LeBron has only been part of one super-team, the Heat, and the answer to that question is obvious in the fact that they one two NBA championships, instead of one. Though, that got me thinking about the meaning of winning two NBA championships without a super-team in Cleveland and LA. It just seems even more incredible a feat. Especially given the fact that both the Cavs and Lakers were bad teams when he joined them. Has anyone else win a championship, in their second year, with each team they joined, as their best player? While, I believe that MJ is the GOAT, this accomplishment by LeBron, seems quite incredible. (outside of Miami, which I expected would wine championships).
What a cherry-picked stat. Yeah, that's cool that he won after joining teams. Micheal jordan stayed on the team that drafted him and turned them into the best dynasty the nba would see till the golden state warriors. i personally think the Lakers is a superteam, i mean, yall love to hype up lebron and AD, plus a pretty good russel that's 3 top 30 players of all time. I wonder how many rings he could win if he stayed with the team that drafted him.
The last take is definitely quite skewed in categorization. When the Nets were assembled they were definitely considered a super team. D-Mitch and D-Book are also generally not considered superstars.
@itsKarlDesigns I literally said not every Allstar is the same and neither is every fringe all star. You just restated my point
@Bach Nguyen Viet I disagree. You have to remember how good Kevin Love was when he had no other talent in Minnesota. They blamed management for his lack of success. Kyrie was the biggest rising star at point. They were easily favored to win it all at the time. Kevin Love was at least on par with Chris Bosh in Toronto. Dwyane Wade was already beginning to decline. That's why the Heat didn't win year 1. Cavs were a super team.
@We The Deplorables they were super teams by intent and design just not the results. "We sucked! Told you we didn't go all out by giving away young players and draft picks, firing and hiring coaches and influencing team decisions to build a super team!"
Dbook was considered a superstar. Maybe not anymore given we've seen him under-perform and choke 2 post seasons in a row. Donovan Mitchell probably not but close to it.
@Jean-Patrice Paluku well no shit they were on shitty teams before joining a superteam with Lebron. Steph also didn't make the playoffs the year he was surrounded by a bad supporting cast (2020), is he a bad player now?
Too bad Lebron can't win without a superteam though. 😢
This seasons top 8 is actually so interesting. The throne is kinda up for the taking for a lot of guys rn.

The thing that made the cavs a super team in 2014-2017 was that cleveland lebron was nuts and would win every game for them
The Zion and Kyle Lowry take got me 🤣🤣🤣

The Cavs were a super team. "Fringe All Star" Kevin Love started in the all star game the year before he was traded to Cleveland. Lebron and Kyrie started too and Kyrie won the All Star Game MVP. His numbers declined because he was the chris bosh on the Cavs
What were all of the teams that were considered “super” teams and who really had the best squad?
“If this was the criteria for a super team, then this means the 2021 Nets were a super team.”
Yeah, they were Jimmy.
@BATBR0 Look up the definition of the word perennial. Russ had 9 AS appearances prior to that season and averaged .1 Rebounds off a triple double. Russ missed one all star game in 7 seasons, that's what one defines as a "perennial all star" my guy.
@FireflyExotica westbrook wasnt an all star when he came to the lakers... So they cant be a super team regardless of Ad and lebron being in their prime. its 1 super star and 2 perennial all stars. Lakers had the super start and all star in AD thats it.
@Burn Sanchez yeah, he makes very well narrated and researched content but you do find that one flaw that's hard to overlook here and there
Yo fam I’m a small content creator, and I make a variety of entertaining reactions, vlogs, and a range of other content and I’m still working on quality but I guarantee you will find something you will enjoy!🏀🏀🏀
@FGPT Flat_top_king12 Like I get you don't want to say Lebron's in his prime because he's 37 years old but come on man, he just had a 30/8/6 season.
Semantics is useless when a guy has that kind of season. And it isn't like this is the outlier for his older years.
Patrick Ewing was one of the best jump shooting centers of all time as well. He was ahead of his time in that regard, and would probably have developed a three, if he was playing today. He got a lot of flack at the time, because back then, they discouraged centers from being away from the basket, but as he got older, he evolved his game to include a consistent jump shot which became an important aspect of his arsenal.
"If you took away his passing Ben Simmons would be a 6'10 Patrick Beverley" 😂😂😂
To say that Moses and kareem were top 10 in 1988 is Like saying Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki were top 10 in 2019

I believe a super team is determined when it is formed, not after we see how it has worked out.
@Mohammad Al Fattal how can you consider the 2022 lakers a superteam? westbrook had not made the all star team in a weak east. they have a super star an all star and thats it.
@Mike.Cdn7 still a superteam.. just a failed superteam.. Russ can still ball out and be an all-nba player.. he did average 22/11/11 in 2021 in Washington, rebounds and assists were career high averages.. He had a subpar first half of the season but played Russ ball in the latter half.. think they went 17/4 at the end to make the playoffs.. 5 HOF is a superteam.
Except Carmelo and Westbrook hasn't made any All-NBA or allstar appearances for a quite a few years, so no the Lakers are not considered a superteam.

@Boosie448 Who me🤔? Klay would b a HOF candidate for me!!!!
IMO '89 was more impressive, Bird, Jordan, Magic, Barkley, Hakeem, Ewing, Stockton, Malone although Bird was hurt for a portion of the year, you still had Isaiah, Robinson, Drexler. Malone and Kareem were on their last legs in '88.
When saying that this has the most loaded talent of all time, it means that each and every player is good, but when looking relatively, they look bad. If we put a player in a time machine and but them in the 80’s they would likely be able to be a star in the NBA. There is a wider net of insane talent today, while there was a small few that fit that back then
@Anders Olson I low-key think if you give Prime Ben Simmons (2018-19 Simmons) Curry shooting, he would be hands down the greatest player to ever play ball. And minus the fact that he is more loyal to FaZe than the NBA. He could do everything except shoot threes. Dunking, Defense, Playmaking, he had it all. The only thing he was missing was that dime. Give him Curry's shooting, easy best player ever. Even with Ray Allens shooting he'd still be the best. Change my mind.
@Aidan Murphy I low-key think if you give Prime Ben Simmons (2018-19 Simmons) Curry shooting, he would be hands down the greatest player to ever play ball. And minus the fact that he is more loyal to FaZe than the NBA. He could do everything except shoot threes. Dunking, Defense, Playmaking, he had it all. The only thing he was missing was that dime. Give him Curry's shooting, easy best player ever. Even with Ray Allens shooting he'd still be the best. Change my mind.
@Anders Olson Most people don’t understand that with time, athletes get better. It’s easy to see in running, swimming and other timed sports. But it’s just harder to understand with basketball. Basketball has become a globalized sport these days, a much wider range of talent to choose from. The players in the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s were nearly 100% American. Nowadays Luka, Embiid, Giannas, Jokic etc are all non-american. This wider range of talent allows for guys like this to exist. People simply look back in time with rose tinted glasses.
If you were to take a player from that era and placed them today, with the exception of a couple guys on that list, they would likely be mid players. I’ll likely get a lot of flak if anyone sees this, but Larry bird would not be looked at in the same light if he were to play today
I’d still argue LeBron’s Cavs were a super team. Look at what Kevin Love was doing right before he got to Cleveland. He was a bonafide star. Just because he didn’t fit in properly with the Cavs and didn’t retain that star status moving forward doesn’t mean it wasn’t a super team. Compare that with Russ before coming to the Lakers. His efficiency numbers with the Wizards were terrible. He wasn’t still a star player when he was traded to the Lakers. Star in name only, not by play.
@fiix_ii dude what

My hot take : if it is easier to score for euro players coming to the nba ( as Luka said, which i agree with) then it is harder for nba great defenders to defend (also I believe that nba rules make it easier for the offensive side). That's why I would love to see an all-defense nba team try their hand in a fiba match, where the rules make defense tougher.

Once i heard the premise, I thought "this video could be 30-40 minutes long." Soo many bad takes out there this offseason lol.
great vid, couldve add a comparison at last take of the box plus of 2017 gsw and the miami heat, with other teams for comparison. love u jimmy
I think it’s actually a lot more even between the ‘88 group and the ‘22 group. Kareem had a better career but if we’re comparing single seasons then 2022 Embiid smokes his 1988 season (under 15ppg). If we’re doing it the other way around and basing it off peaks then I think Kawhi had a higher peak than Karl Malone so you can add one to the ‘22 list either way. Moses Malone in 1988 averaged 20 and 11, Jokic is currently averaging 24, 11 and 10 on 63% shooting. I can understand having Jordan edge out Lebron but Lebron edges out almost every other player on the ‘88 list. Maybe you could argue that ‘88 was more top heavy with quality (Bird, Magic, Jordan) but I think the ‘22 list is a lot deeper, or at the very least equal.
9:10 i kinda hate how Jimmy forgot about Grant Hill (3rd in MVP votings) and Tim Hardaway (4th in MVP votings). I'd take one of them over Gary Payton any day. that being said, if you go to top 10 or top 15 it gets even clearer that the 90s were the best era of basketball.
The Nets take is a little disingenuous. Before the rule change James Harden was still considered a bonafide superstar & everybody called that team a super team. In hindsight trying to say they weren't one only after they failed doesn't track. That was a super team.
@Troy So two instances make a"superstar"🤔, not being consistent yr in & yr out?
@the OCTAHEDRON the 60 point triple double and the MVP
@HAL 9000 Was Karl Malone a superstar? Steve Nash? John Stockton? Allen Iverson? Charles Barkley? Patrick Ewing?
Come back with something better than that.
@FireflyExotica Except Harden has not won shit ever, and he will retire without a ring. Only thing consistent in his gameplay is guarantee that he DOES not win a chip.
@Let’s B Real Harden was always garbage, apart from his flopping he brings NOTHING. There are many players who do his job better than him.

Beverly picking those 'scrubs' off the mat and dragging them to a chip whether they like it or not 😂
So you’re saying that ‘21 nets was not a super team? @11:51. That’s literally 3 undeniable all-stars and arguably top 25 players of this era. Definitely formidable, they just did not work out in the end with all the factors against them. (I don’t like the Nets whatsoever but that was just a wrong take)
You are right
hot take: if Curry wins 3 more rings and 2 finals MVPs, maybe a reg. season MVP along with that.. he's the goat
11:50 You're right about all the others, but the 2021 Nets were definitely a super team. They just didn't perform like people expected.
I low-key think if you give Prime Ben Simmons (2018-19 Simmons) Curry shooting, he would be hands down the greatest player to ever play ball. And minus the fact that he is more loyal to FaZe than the NBA. He could do everything except shoot threes. Dunking, Defense, Playmaking, he had it all. The only thing he was missing was that dime.

@Basetornado any team that has KD on 2k is broken lol
his point was if they WERE a superteam not if they could have been.
Jxmy what I got from your last take is that there wasn’t a lot of super teams and I’ll say that 17’ Warriors 🤷🏿♂️is the only one
Shouts out Barry making it in the hot takes though🔥
When man made the D-book, Simmons comparison I went, 'Man, i love this guy'.
I agree with everything apart of the big 3. The fact that at certain season a team doesn't deliver doesn't mean it's not a super team. And yes, I consider all of the teams mentioned as superteams. You must know nothing about basketball to not recognize the amount of talent.
That 1st hot take reminds me of this quote:
"I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me" - Brian Scalabrine

@Vladirack Pubama 10 hours 0 likes = LAME so jokes on u I guess..... Goofy ahh😂
It’s relativity too. Scalabrine looks like a YMCA guy who plays in the NBA but watching him play against top HS and college players hes actually pretty strong, athletic, and quick. Ive seen guys that are 6’8” and they move like snails because its really hard to be that size so NBA guys are freaks of nature literally
Its one of my all time favorite sports quotes. People really have no clue how far off they are.
@Joe 7374 youre the goofy one🤣🤣
Tf curry is 6'3??? Dayum
2018, the Rockets 🚀 would've beat GS undoubtedly that year. all it took was one hamstring to get injured that ultimately gave them a easy ride to a ring. that year was the Rockets year. not GS. that ring will always be one of the least respected rings to me. but a ring is a ring 💁🏾♂️..it should've been the Rockets. thats all
Hot take: Ben Simmons is not only overhoated but also getting underrated at this point, the man still has the potential to be a amazing player
When it comes to “The road you must take to the finals!” When it comes to “Quality of opposition!” Isaiah Thomas is a top 5 player all time!!! I said it!

LOL , especially when he includes the "get help" LMAO
Jxmy puts sentences together so nicely
My hot take: Charles Barkley was the best ‘bad’ 3 point shooter. It seemed like he made a three every other play. But my man Chuck shot like 1000 threes and only made 50-100

@BMT Highlights really?
Great video as always HOWEVER the nets were a super team💀
I LOVE your videos and analysis. You seem extremely objective. But your super team argument is structurally Flawed. Super team is not about performance, it's about PAST performance. Sometimes superstars don't play well together for a myriad of reasons..so the better statistical analysis would be a comparison of how those players performed the year(s) previous to joining one another, not what they actually did together.
i wouldn't even mind if jimmy only did this kind of hot takes videos from now on, entertaining af!
just the first 28 seconds of the intro are worth of a standalone clip. And full credits for the director, producer, cinematographer, extras, mj, stuff, drama, extras, etc.
The 2021 Nets were 100% a superteam. Their "All-Star," James Harden, was their MVP. He was the best performer in the entire first round of the 2021 playoffs. And people still (for whatever reason) considered him their third best player. That was a superteam.
@Lee H no need to be rude man, you have your opinion as well as all other people. But hey, if you want to ne that way who am I to stop you, but I dont have to talk to you anymore, was rrying to have nice debate
Wish you all tje best with your "factual opinions" but please skip me with tjem from now
@DK101 lol - you need to go argue with third graders. Your reading comprehension sucks. Go back and read what I said. If you can't figure it out, I can live with that.
@NBA ssasin Nobody who has any shred of a brain and basketball knowledge, and certainly not 'most people', will call that Nets team a "super-team" in five years. Everybody gets on a bandwagon, but at the end of the day they'll be remembered as a failed experiment. That's it. They were a super-failure.
@Lee H 2019 warriors arent a superteam then? same team that went 73-9 though and won 2 years in a row? injuries are inevitable and in that case the bucks basically i could almost say purposefully injured them. they didnt stand a chance regardless. 2019 warriors arent as good as 2017 or 2018 when its the same "superteam" roster because of an injury?
@Lee H fam you are allowed to have your opinion what is a super team I just gave you an example how winning does not decide what super team is
No one decides that actually it is a fan made term which you use however you like but majority of people (look anywhere on the internet, even here in comments) would call that Nets team a superteam
You are right about them not doing crap but for most people that is not the condition of a team being a superteam, but the players that were on that team
This next season clippers team is in most people books a superteam for example and will be even if they dont win anything (which in my opinion they wont but that is another topic)
Im just satisfied I saw James play alongside Curry in the all star game
To anyone who thinks this is the best era of collective talent playing at once, let me remind you, every member of the 92 dream team were playing in the NBA at the same time. Let that sink in.
"Michael jordan was carried by the bulls" while averaging 40 ppg every year in the playoffs lmao
One thing about the KAT take: those graphs fail to account for the difficulty of the shots taken. KATs ability to create a 3pt shot for himself is way better than a lot of the guys above him which factors into being a good shooter.
The Nets are a superteam on paper. certainly heading into the first year. Prime KD, nearly a prime playmaking Harden (or so we all thought), and a third-team all-nba type guy in Kyrie. plenty of smart people thought this was just as much top end talent as we've ever seen on a single team
Yo fam I’m a small content creator, and I make a variety of entertaining reactions, vlogs, and a range of other content and I’m still working on quality but I guarantee you will find something you will enjoy!🏀🏀🏀
@A. Fields fr, it's like they just started watching last year. It's obvious that some of these people only look at the news and espn but don't watch live games
Calling Kyrie a 3rd team guy is insane ngl
3rd team kyrie is selling him short. its not like the guy had two 50 point games right after becoming a net
On paper? Boston and Bucks were getting destroyed. It wasn't until Harden and Kyrie both got injured during the playoffs. Harden was forced to play again when Kyrie was out due to an injury. The rest is history when Kd stepped on the line with that 3.
Kevin Love Averaged 26 and 12 before he went to Cleveland. Kyrie averaged 26 of his own and Lebron is Lebron. That’s a super team

Congratulations on your big winning! Now, I know you had ran from the casino to enjoy your winnings, right? Good luck to you and to everybody out there!
Dude, I love your stats and takes. I genuinely believe you could replace Skip the most BIASED sports commentator in my opinion. You and Shannon would be must see TV.
The Cavs "superteam" evaluation is a bit unfair.
If you're talking about the top 3 players, i'd say its nearly identical to the Heat. Love even took the same role as Bosh and everyone aside from Lebron made statistical and role sacrifices.
The difference was in the depth. Those Heat teams were ridiculously stacked and IMO, won both of those titles for the "big 3".
This is kind of interesting... a bit interesting, not super interesting but a bit.... actually not really that interesting.
Anyway, what makes a "superteam"? Results or intent and original construction or construction and perception? What is it that excludes the Lakers from having a "superteam"? Can superteams be a superteam and fail? I feel like that's a bit of an unfair standard.
Unless its results, i cant see any reason to exclude the Lakers from being considered a superteam. Even a declined Russ is still putting up nearly a triple double.
There is some crazy revisionist history going on here. The 2021 Nets and 2022 Lakers were definitely superteams. They may have been failed superteams but superteams nonetheless. The Nets had 2 MVP winners and a perennial All-Star. The Lakers had 2 of the top 10 players in the league and Westbrook who at the time was still seen as an All-Star caliber player.
@Ryan Mitchell OK. Why are you interpreting it as me hating on LeBron? It's not hating on LeBron to call a team with AD, LeBron, and Westbrook a superteam even though it was a failure.
@you scare me so it doesn’t matter if their good playing with lebron… it only matters if they were all stars in the past??? lmao what did lebron do to you

@CFL Jimmy's the one making the terrible takes in this reacting to terrible nba takes video.
@Golden State Warriors not a superteam
Yea but what you didn't mention was when LeBron made the Miami heat team and even the Cleveland cavaliers after there were no other teams with three stars on it like that during that time. So they were a super team. Nowadays, almost every basketball team has three superstars on it, so it's the norm now so they aren't in super teams anymore because it's the norm.

my hot take: I think that steph curry will easily be the best point guard of all time when he retires and he is already a top 15, possible even top 10, player of all time
