After all of the free agent signings and trades, many people out there now think the NBA will soon be made up of a few "super" teams and then everyone else.

Well, I'm here to tell you that this is how sports have been for years.  And quite frankly, I like it that way (and I'm not even a fan of any of these teams)!

First off, the NBA has always been about top heavy.  There have always been “Super teams”.  It’s just more well-known now because we’re all making a big deal about it.  Kareem (Lew Alcindor) went to the Lakers from the Bucks.  Moses Malone left Houston for Philly.  Robert Parrish wasn’t always a Celtic – he was originally in Golden State.  Shaq went to Orlando then the Lakers then Miami.

I don’t know about you, but I’m more into the NBA now then I’ve ever been in my life.  I’m actually planning my night around a NY Knicks game. I’m fired up to watch the Heat/Knicks on Sunday night.  I’ve watched Knicks games, Heat games, Lakers games, Thunder games - I don't even remember saying that in the past.

These moves have been great for the league.  I love it!

This just in: All-Stars have always been playing together on the same team.  It’s the NBA theory of Sinkativity.  You need at least 1 Hall of Famer and a couple of All-Stars around him to win a title.  This has been the case since at least 1980.

Why are teams good?  Because they have good players around them.  It’s like that for any sport.

I've got no issues with these so-called "Super" teams because there's a salary cap in the NBA.  Here’s the beauty of the NBA, unlike baseball – these “super” teams now have to figure out a way to assemble a roster with the remaining money they have under the cap.  That’s why the Heat have the big 3 and then everyone else.  The Nets and Knicks are going to have to have some creative accounting to get another All-Star next year.
