The NBA is coming off a pretty interesting offseason where no superteams were built. Instead, most contenders chose to pair one All-Star with another, and one of them is the Los Angeles Clippers, who were successful in signing Kawhi Leonard and trading for Paul George during free agency.

George believes that having two superstars in one team is actually good for the league.

Over the past decade, the NBA has seen superteams with three to four All-Stars playing together. From LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh with the Miami Heat, to LeBron, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love with the Cleveland Cavaliers, to Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and later on, Kevin Durant with the Golden State Warriors.

Fans believed that superteams ruined the excitement in the NBA, as teams like the Heat, Cavs, and Warriors were already the favorites to come out of their respective conferences or win the NBA championship even before the seasons began. But just like what PG said, superteams didn't usually work out.

The Big 3 of James, Wade, and Bosh were successful in leading the Heat to the Finals four straight times, but they were only able to win the title twice. The Cavaliers also made it to the Finals for four straight years behind their Big 3, but they only won one championship. The Warriors won three titles in their five trips to the Finals, but they have been banged up to the point that fans and the media aren't sure if they can get past the second round of the playoffs next year.

It will be interesting to see how the superstar tandems will work for this year's contenders. The last notable franchise who had a successful run with two All-Stars was the Los Angeles Lakers, who won strings of titles with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal in the 2000s, and later, Kobe and Pau Gasol in the late 2010s.

Will the Clippers have the same recognition at the end of next season?

We'll just have to wait and see.
