Last summer, some were flabbergasted to hear that NBA star Kevin Durant was joining the Golden State Warriors. But for the rest of the world, we knew it was coming. KD was looking for a championship ring and was getting frustrated with the lack of help he had in Oklahoma City, even though Russell Westbrook is one of the best players in the league.

Talented athletes leaving the city that gave them their big break to a team that will win them a championship isn’t uncommon; it is actually becoming more of a trend. LeBron James left the Cavaliers to win two rings with Miami and came back to Cleveland after the team became stacked. And KD left Westbrook to fend for himself. With championship dreams polluting their minds, they left to join a super team.

While I will admit  at times it is fun to watch James and the Cavs or Steph Curry and the Warriors play like it is a game of NBA2K, it takes a lot of interest out of the game. You know who is going to be playing in finals before the season even starts, and it seems for the third year in a row that the Cavs and Warriors are going to play for the Larry O’Brien trophy unless the Spurs or the Celtics have anything to say about it in the conference finals.

It is not just a problem in basketball. The NFL has seen their fair share of super teams. Almost every year the Patriots make a deep run into the playoffs. If the Patriots can clinch home field through the playoffs, it is over for any other team looking to head to the big game. Peyton Manning left the Colts to join Denver and win a Super Bowl, and Eli Manning disrespected the Chargers after they drafted him to win a few rings in New York.

I am tired of seeing the same teams play in the finals over and over again. Super teams make it so that there are not any underdog stories to tell or interesting games to watch. I want to watch some other team claim a win for once, preferably the Chargers, but I would settle to see the Lions or the Bengals make a deep run in the playoffs.

With the way Westbrook played this year, KD could have made a deep run into the playoffs in OKC and possibly faced the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, but instead he took the easy way out. Super teams are not only the easy way out, but they make the game boring for the fans.
