Nearly seven years after forming what was considered by many as the first super-team, LeBron James is now staring at his the prospects of being swept out of the Finals for the second time in his career. But the concept of a super-team that James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh created in 2010 has been taken to another level by this year’s Golden State Warriors, who is one win from completing an unprecedented 16-0 playoff run.
Much of Golden State’s dominance is credited to its signing of Kevin Durant last summer, adding a four-time scoring champ to a team that had won a record 73 regular-season games.
