Didn't Toni Braxton break up the Triple Js?

Yeah, Dallas is definitely better overall than they were in the 90s. And they do have the most important piece of a championship puzzle (a top 5 player). But going from 50 win team to annual title contender to actually winning multiple chips is not automatic. My Chicago Bulls are a testament to that.

Again, I hope Luka can win multiple championships and I wouldn't be surprised if he does. He's got amazing talent, passion for the game, and a flair for the dramatic.

You need a lot of things to go right to win a championship. The Bulls made it look easy in the 90s, which is a testament to the greatness of those teams.

The Thunder had Durant, Westbrook, and Harden (plus a young Serge Ibaka) and couldn't figure it out. Even after Harden left, they had many years of prime Durant and Westbrook and never even got back to the Finals.

I'm not trying to throw cold water on the Luka Love. Just trying to keep some perspective.
