As great of a player as Lebron is, his skillset is not that conducive to late game situations in close games.

For a guy who's gonna have the ball in his hands:

1. His J is not great and he has even less confidence in it in the clutch. Teams will simply play him to take the jumper, which he often takes.
2. His strength of bullying to the basket and finishing is taken away against good teams who can challenge at the basket, where refs are less inclined to blow the whistle late in games.
3. His strength of drawing fouls & getting to the freethrow line is offset by his lack of confidence in his own freethrow shooting and him not really wanting to be there in those situations.
4. Dude still does't have a great back to the basket game where you can feed him on the block and he can go to work. He's still not confortable in attacking defenses in that way.

You gotta surround him with shooters, but then people would complain that he has a team of players that can't contribute other than knocking down shots & Lebron has to do everything for them.

And that in a nutshell is the paradox of Lebron. The team that's best for him(defensive role players and knock down shooters who don't need the ball) will never win a title. Cosign the rest of the post

Nah, that team in Cleveland was close to the perfect team for him, they just needed to add Bosh to everything they already had and some kind of slasher off the bench and that would have got the job done.

The issue is they couldn't get any big time players to go there through FA.

If the Heat is Lebron's team then they are not winning the championship this year.

Lebron needs someone to carry him over the top & that someone is Dwade. If Dwade doesn't do it...it won't be done.

Pretty much, I dunno if it's wade being washed or wade feeling out of place on a team that's no longer his. Point is, LeBron would obviously supercede wade off the strength of talent but the one thing he doesn't have is what he joined wade for.

give Bron Melo's Nuggets

Billups/Lawson
Afflalo/JR
Bron/Forbes
Kenyon/Al
Nene/Bird

and this conversation would be radically different.

Wholetime, that's a fukkin squad right there. But why go to Denver when you can go to Miami? I can't hate on Bron's logic plus the idea was to win titles WITH wade but there's a chance that might not be the case.
