Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) * Standardize

This entire article is biased anti-LeBron James propaganda written from a fan perspective and should be deleted. "Superteams" or teams with multiple "All-Star level" basketball players have always existed in the NBA. I have proposed this article for deletion. 19:42, 28 March 2021 (UTC) — Preceding

As ridiculous as it seems to suggest, this article really is written by somebody with an extremely transparent anti-LeBron slant. The criteria they use to define the 2010 Heat as a Superteam is entirely applicable to the 2008 Celtics, but the author deflects from that by saying those who disagree are "notably LeBron James fans". This article has the unmistakably inconsistent writing style of a hot take enthusiast.

The 10-14 Heat should not be in the "failed superteams" section since they were able to win two championships in the 4 years that they played. Failed superteams should only apply to teams that failed to win a single title with their cores.

Definition
A superteam in the National Basketball Association (NBA) is a franchise which has three or more Hall of Fame-caliber players who decided to join together in pursuit of a league championship.
The lead sentence is not consistent with the current content of the rest of the page. "three or more Hall of Fame-caliber players who decided to join together" would point to James, Bosh, and Wade all signing as free agents. Or the Warriors stars all going to the Hamptons to recruit Durant. If superteam just refer to having any "Big 3", then "decided to join together" should be struck, and there's a lot of examples missing. At any rate, this needs a lot of cleanup to make it anything but a bloggy,
WP:OR writeup.—

I have added a section discussing the varying definitions NBA fans have for a "superteam". The previous version of the article had a specific definition and failed to withhold that definiton throughout the article. Hopefully this helps keep the article more consistent. It still needs a lot of work, and I intend to work on it more in the future. I was honestly surprised that there was a Wikipedia article about superteams in the first place, as it is a very subjective term to begin with. For instance, the article mentions the 1977 Sixers as a failed superteam, but I have never heard anyone call that team a superteam.

This article talks about Boston's Pierce/Garnett/Allen being a superteam because they build via trade, which is different than a bunch of free agents deciding to team up.—

This article is horribly unsourced, especially regarding the "current" and "failed" superteams. I see no citations that suggest these were considered superteams, nor that they "failed" - just lots of
original research. I'm going to start clearing this in the next week or so of all unsourced content. --

Once again, we cannot just provide commentary on teams with lots of stars who might or might not have been successful. We have
WP:SYNTH and
WP:NOR policies to adhere to. Teams must have
WP:RS that indicate they are "superteams", and this is especially true for any commentary about whether they have "failed". --

I mean, they have 2 of the best players in the league(Tatum and Brown) an underrated big(Porzingis) and an all star capable PG(Jrue) and it shows as they are first in the east

I mean, they just won a championship and people are considering this team as one of the best of all time, and the bot who got rid of them said there were no all nba players. Tatum made 1st team all-nba, Derrick white and Jrue Holiday, who both joined the Celtics, got 2nd team all defensive. Brown was snubbed of 3rd team all nba, and Porzingis very well could've got a defensive team.
