LeBron James says he's never played for a 'super team'



On July 8, 2010, LeBron James altered the NBA's landscape by announcing his decision to take his talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat as a free agent.

He played there for four seasons and won two championships alongside Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh — a three-star super team, in the eyes of most.

On July 11, 2014, James announced he was going to go back to Cleveland, where he joined forces with All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. The Cavaliers have since been to three consecutive Finals, winning one.

But after the Cavs were dethroned as NBA champions by the league's newest super team of Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green on Monday night, James gave an interesting take on his past super team involvement — or lack thereof.

LeBron: “I don’t believe I’ve played for a superteam. I don’t believe in that.”

"I don't believe I've played for a super team. I don't believe in that," James said. "I don't believe we're a super team here (in Cleveland)."

Last week, James defended Durant's decision to join the Warriors, saying he doesn't care if it's fair or not and that he would "try to sign everybody" if he were an owner.

"I think it's great," said James. "It's great for our league. Right now, look at our TV ratings, look at the money our league is pouring in. I mean, guys are loving the game, our fans love the game. Who am I to say if it's fair or not?”

'KUWTK': Khloe Kardashian Opens Up About Starting a Family With Tristan Thompson: 'He Wants to Have Kids Now'

Khloe Kardashian is opening up about looking toward the future with boyfriend Tristan Thompson. Kim Kardashian's longing for a third child became the thrust of yet another episode on Sunday's Keeping Up With the Kardashians season 13 finale, and this time she turned to her younger sister to ask if she'd consider acting as a surrogate. Khloe was hesitant about the idea, but agreed to come with Kim to a fertility specialist.
