Compared with the past few decades, the NBA players of this era prefer to report teams to play games. Players have control over their career choices. Even so, most retired NBA players think that joining a super team is a bit too much. Lakers famous Shaquille O’Neal is one of them, and he is even more outspoken. In O'Neal's career, he has never really joined any super team.
O'Neill recently said on social platforms: He hates this era, in our era, every player is competing, not as weak as men are now. If I were to play with Tim Duncan and David Robinson after being defeated in the 95 Finals, then I would be a badass. But what I wanted to do at the time was to defeat them, not to join them.
As for modern newspaper group behavior, James is considered the originator. As early as 2010, James teamed up with Wade and Bosh to bring two championships to the Miami Heat. In 2017, Durant joined the super strong team that beat him-Golden State Warriors.
The current super teams in the league are the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets. Both teams are star newspaper groups, and James and Durant are their leaders. If O'Neal joined the Spurs or the Rockets at that time, would the history of the NBA be rewritten?
