A syndrome in which a team is so reliant on their superstars (and the rest of the players
suck) that they can
win regular season games but cannot withstand a playoff series and ultimately win a championship. This was first developed by the Cleveland Cavaliers when LeBron James reportedly gave up on several different occasions, and the team was
never able to win a championship.
Dude, did you hear about
LeBron taking his talents to South Beach?!
Yeah, and some guy named Chris Bosh did, too! He's apparently really good!
Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and some guy named Chris Bosh... this teams gonna be great! But wait a sec, who the
hell are all these other
people on the team?
Uh oh... looks like Superstar Syndrome...
