All adidas had to do was stop with the sleeved jerseys but that was too much to ask :francis:

It's early but is this Lakers team the best team LeBron's ever been on?

Most would argue the Heat.

I say this Lakers team is better on offense (mostly because LeBron is a better offensive player than the Heat LeBron but that's a debate for another day), while the Heat were overall better on defense. But the era was different back then so that might be why it feels like the Heat were better defenders.

The Heat were definitely great defensively but their lack of size also made them vulnerable against big teams and forced them to switch and rotate a lot...which made them liable to get 3's rained down on them. That's why Indiana and San Antonio gave them so much shyt in the playoffs, respectively (and why the Knicks were giving them work in the regular season back in '13). On the other hand, I can't see any glaring defensive weaknesses for this Laker squad.

The glaring defensive weakness on this Laker team is actually LeBron IMO. If you have a player that can take advantage of him on defense you win the game. Problem is most of those teams that have that kind of player are in the East.

But I definitely see what you mean. This Lakers team has great balance and chemistry even though it feels like they were just hastily put together.
