How would Jordan or anybody form superteams back in the day with CBA they had? Their werent maximum contracts back then. Jordan to this day still holds the record for the highest salary ever at 33 million per year, and the cap was 26 million. The rules just allowed them to pay him because you could pay your own players what you wanted to keep them. No one could have joined that team for any kind of decent money even if they wanted too, and Jordan wasnt going to join any other teams because they all faced the same restrictions, and he was the best player. The fact that they didnt have max contracts made it very hard if not impossible for superstars to team up. Now they can.
Today, players face a whole new set of rules. Superteams can be formed much easier. The Celtics did it, then Lebron did it. KD didnt set the precedent. This is just the landscape of the NBA, and this is how you win championships now. Players are on the move to greener pastures all the time now.
People just mad because Durant did it better than everyone else.
