Maybe you can't look at it from a HOFer sense.  Maybe from the position of where the players currently stand at this moment in each's respective careers.   Essentially, all 4 of these guys are smack dab in the midst of their primes and now playing on the same team.

You have first 1st team All-NBA player who happened to also be MVP, you have two 2nd team All-NBAers (one who has been an MVP in the past 3 years) and another who was 3rd team All-NBA. 

How often has that happened?   Forget the 3 or 4 HOFers on the same team.

I think that aspect is leading more to this "super" part than the whole HOFer/potential HOFer thing.  Besides, its most a media driven angle anyways.
Well it is inflated because they all weren't on the same team last year, thus making it easier to get the stats required for that many on an All NBA team.  I'd be surprised if all 4 made the All NBA team this year, just won't be enough shots.

Probably not but the term is being thrown around the offseason just following a season in which they did.  Recent track record indicates that these 4 guys are in the top 15-20 players in the NBA as of right now.  Things might change once the season starts but, right now, they are.

The whole "super team" thing is just subjective to begin with. But if you want to call a team super, what's going on at Golden State right now is darn near close to unprecedented from a personnel standpoint in the modern NBA.
