Re: NBA: Gold Medal Super Star Theory
[ QUOTE ]
The pistons won more than one title without anyone who was considered a superduperstar at that point, and I don't think anyone on that roster would even be considered one now. You could also argue that the old bad boy pistons were a bunch of well abover average players... I don't think Thomas qualifies as a super-duper-star by todays standards. Also, most of the teams who have championships in the last two decades that I would actually know something about had a superstar AND an above average supporting cast... there have just been some stacked teams in recent history.

Career averages of 19.2 points(65th highest in NBA history), 1.9 steals(22nd highest average in NBA history) and 9.3 assists(4th highest average in NBA history) aren't bad at all. He was also an 11 time all star.
102,455 and counting
