These are so awesome. I always pick up on the “we’re more talented...blah blah blah” as well.
I think they’re equating “talent” with status. Sure, their guys have more star status by most people’s standards. But it doesn’t mean they’re any better, obviously. If you ask me any day of the week, I’d take talented, lesser known guys who 1) play as a team in a system 2) love what they do 3) have team chemistry 4) have a brilliant coach and actually listen to him.
I’ll take that over a bunch of superstar ISO players every time, no question. This is what basketball is supposed to be.
