Miami heat's Lebron James believes that NBA teams need more starsLeBron James again defended his decision to form a superstar trio with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, saying Thursday that an NBA with more stars per team would be more popular.

"Hopefully, the league can figure out one way where it can go back to the '80s where you had three or four All-Stars, three or four superstars, three or four Hall of Famers on the same team.
"The league was great. It wasn't as watered down as it is. Imagine if you could take Kevin Love off Minnesota and add him to another team and you shrink the (league)," James said.
He also said that if there were fewer teams, the season would produce more such marquee match-ups, as in the 1980s.
"We had more (star) players on the team, which made almost every game anticipated, not just the Christmas Day game or the Halloween game, things like that," he said.
