So Kobe has just useless rings, got it


Well tell me what team they beat as underdogs?

If you beat up your little brother, is that something to brag about?

For teams, all rings are equally meaningful, objectively.
For players, all rings are equally meaningless, objectively.

After that, fans tend to shape their subjective value of titles based on what they want to believe and whatever presuppositions they're trying to uphold and protect. There's no clearcut definition of a super team and no real evidence that a super team gives you an easier path to a championship than a well built organic team.

There's really two questions here, and they have different answers.
As a fan of my team, would I care if they won a title as a "superteam" or a regular team? No, I just want my team to win the championship.
But does it matter in terms of how impressive it was for the individual players on that team?
Yeah, of course it does. Horry has 7 rings but he's not on anyone's GOAT list. Because he's not the MAIN reason they won, even though he was a valuable contributor.
