5. Remember, this is the NBA

While basketball will always remain one of the truest team sports in the world, the NBA will forever remain a superstar league.

There are many factors.

More from Cleveland Cavaliers

One is the fact that a single human can provide so much in helping a team win. While most onlookers only look at points and phenomenal cross-overs on the court, the all-around ability of a superstar is where an entire team gets lifted to obscene levels.

Why did Michael Jordan win six titles during the 1990’s, robbing Patrick Ewing and Reggie Miller of a few rings? Because the man had such a brilliant all-around game that lifted an entire organization.

He not only came up bigger than anybody in the clutch moment, but for his career he shot a sensational .497 from the floor during his career as well as chipping in with 5.2 assists and 6.2 rebounds per game.

That type of efficiency is way too often overlooked in this league.

With only 12-roster spots per team, and anywhere from eight to 10 guys in a rotation, it’s only natural.

Anybody other than the Cavs, Spurs or Warriors claiming the 2015 championship this season would be one of the most incredible shockers in NBA history.

Just look through history and see how top heavy teams are with championships. The love is rarely spread around.
