They narratives that get switched for Lebron. OK, he had no help but prop up Aaron Mckie & older Deke, like Love isn't a former 25ppg scorer that can still get his shot off against anyone guarding him, when used correctly.
AI went through Pacers combo of savvy vets and rising stars, Vince Carter & Big Dog/Hey-Zeus/Alien. Did y'all watch that Bucks vs 76ers series? Hey-Zeus and AI dueled ike it was UConn Georgetown again. Big Dog's midrange was deadly. That's 3 quality teams - 2 teams being his peers.
Who has Lebron played that was better than any of those players/teams? Olodiapo? Lowry & Derozen? Whoever is on this C's team - babies & Horford. While we're at it, who has Lebron faced the East playoffs that was off that quality? Maybe Arenas once, Melo once and I'll give you 2nd yr Rose. That wasn't even the same year.
