To say that the NBA is dominated by super teams is about as controversial as saying that the sun is hot. It's well established at this point that in order to even compete for the NBA Championship, you're going to need at least two all-star caliber players on your roster. Sometimes they are created through the draft, such as the 2000's San Antonio Spurs and (up until 2016) the 2010's Golden State Warriors, and sometimes they are built through trades and free agency, like the Miami Heat's Big 3 or the 2008 Champions in the Boston Celtics. However, not every super team works out, and some crash and burn almost as quickly as they were formed. Whether they struggled to mesh together or a superstar or two just couldn't get along, these are four NBA super teams that failed miserably. 2017-18 Oklahoma City Thunder Starting off we have the most recent example of an NBA superteam that failed hard in the Oklahoma City Thunder from this past season. Two years prior t...

Aside from a gruesome injury or an Andre Roberson jump shot, there's nothing more painful to watch in the NBA than a talented player wasting his time on a truly atrocious team. Some are legit stars who got saddled with a bad team or a former role player who put up the numbers because no one else was going to, there are plenty of examples that could go on this list. So many in fact that this definetely won't be the only list I make on this subject. But for now, these are 9 players whose great stats were all for nothing. Chris Webber (1994-95) Chris Webber hadn't even been in the NBA for a year and a half before he had been traded for the second time in his career in 1994. Following a falling out with coach Don Nelson, the former #1 pick & Rookie of the Year exercised a one-year escape clause in his contract, which led to the Golden State Warriors agreeing to a sign-and-trade deal with the Washington Bullets for Tom Gugliotta and three first-round picks, one of whi...

Image made by @TJBiddle Let's be honest, some NBA players make a lot more money than they have any business making. Granted, most NBA players make absurd amounts of money, but few would argue that players like LeBron James and Stephen Curry. Meanwhile, there are players that, while good, probably aren't worth the near 20 million dollars they make every year. Here's a completely unrelated picture of Allen Crabbe. The players on this list, however, are players whose performances this past season weren't even remotely worth the massive salary they pulled in. Whether they be players who put up lackluster numbers or players who just didn't play a lot, their lack of production despite an eight-figure salary was so bad it bordered on theft. The only rule for this list is that players who missed a large number of games during the season due to injuries will be excluded (aside from one player whose situation was a little different), so don't expect to see guys ...
