I don't even know what the Dodgers have done. The last time I paid attention to baseball was "The Big Red Machine" in the 70's.

And I HATE SUPER TEAMS and DYNASTIES! Parity parity parity for me.

I think fans enjoy a super team a few times a decade. I believe overalll that non traditional teams winning has been good for the NBA but it would get boring if it happened all the time. Silver is taking notes.

Maybe for casuals.

Luka series vs Suns, Nuggets championship run, Giannis, Celtics etc - if you didn't enjoy any of it, it's just sad.

The Dodgers are the class of baseball. They resemble the OKC Thunder in a lot of ways except also have deep pockets. Smart, forward thinking front office that has a top farm system consistently. "

Yes they're a super team on paper but baseball is a sport where the best team on paper doesn't always win. The closest equivalent are the KD Warriors and it took injuries for that team to lose.

Okc is a superteam and dominated all season last year

The Knicks probably would have added Giannis by now if they didn't throw away all their picks on Mikal Bridges.

Well they are in very good shape right now to win a chip in the next few years but they don't, I feel like that deal will probably haunt Knicks fans for years.

Yeh totally agree with op

MVP Luka, Reaves "Is him", Old man Bron, Angry Ayton, 3Rui ... Couldn't agree more, how could you not mind boggling:)

American sports have systems like draft, that fundamentally break the game and have teams that actually want to lose, and the only reason why they fundamentally break the entire league, is so they would have ''parity''.

I don’t watch the Dodgers for exactly this reason. Hate super teams.

The Dodgers are exciting because they have a one of a kind player in Ohtani, not because they’re a super team.

OKC has a super team right now and nobody cares because SGA is kinda boring

As a Cavs fan 2017 and 2018 were two of the most boring seasons in bball history.

I knew we were a lock for the finals and knew we couldn’t win

Ironically neither the draft nor the cap create parity. There should be no draft or cap in my opinion, just a punitive luxury tax, but all you here in America is people crying about how their **** city wouldn’t be competitive under those circumstances. It’s a lot crying and complaining over on this side of the pond about fairness even if it is hyper juxtaposed to the supposed American ethos. Just pure hypocrisy from sports fans in the US.

This. How anyone could want something like that again is beyond me.
