This Myth That LeBron James Makes His Teammates Better.......

[Newzz]

What teammates has he made better?

This myth has been going on forever, but the FACTS are that nobody he's played with (players of note) have had their best seasons playing alongside LeBron James.

Carlos Boozer? Best seasons were with Deron Williams
Zydrunas Ilgauskas? Best season was in 2003.....before LeBron
Ricky Davis? Best season was in 2003...before LeBron
Larry Hughes? Best seasons were with Gilbert Arenas
Ben Wallace? Best seasons were with Chauncey Billups
Delonte West? Best seasons were with Paul Pierce (and with Gloria )
Mo Williams? Best seasons were with Michael Redd in 07 and 08
Antawn Jamison? Best seasons were with Gilbert Arenas
Shaq? Best seasons were with Kobe
Hell, Anderson Varejao? Best seasons were after LeBron left
Dwyane Wade? Aint been the same since LeBron came to South Beach
Chris Bosh? Aint been the same since he left Toronto. Went from putting up 24 and 10 to putting up 16 and 6
Ray Allen? Hasnt shot this low from the field in over 5 years.




Facts are Facts.


Dont kill the messenger.....kill the myth

It's a myth that he's an elite on ball defender as well.

I'm just waiting for one of these LeBron stans to prove me wrong.



For years, we've all heard about how LeBron makes everyone better.........but the numbers dont back that up

 

[Street Knowledge]

He turned Chris Bosh into a spot up shooter

 

[Codeine Bryant]

They're going to tell you that all of those examples prove that he was constantly surrounded by shyt/old/past-their-prime teammates.

He had to come to Miami and elevate the games of Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole to get that ring

 

[Swagnificent]

LeBron is a ball pounder like CP3. These dudes hold the ball for 20 of the 24 seconds then they decide to drive and either kick it out to shooters or take it to the hole. They pretty much turn everyone into jumpshooters.

When's the last time Chris Bosh had a post-up? I rest my case.

@hayesc0.....dont rate the thread a 1 star and not defend LeBron



This is what I'm talking about with these LeBron stans. They cant argue against the facts that are there for them to view. They just parrot what they hear on ESPN, even though the numbers say otherwise.


Every "name" player that LeBron has played with, played better without him.



Chris Bosh's 5 seasons prior to joining LeBron he averaged a combined 22.8 pts and 10.0 rebs a game and was a top 3 PF in the NBA

He averaged 16.6 pts and 6.8 rebs this year


LeBron doesnt make anyone better....it's a myth that needs to stop.

you are looking at ppg and not factoring in the fact that bosh is playing with a much better team its hard to argue with something so ridiculous

Bosh was a much better player on Toronto than he was this year in Miami. It's not even arguable.



The main point, is not just about ppg (because I also posted Bosh's rebounding numbers and said he was a top 3 PF prior to LeBron).


My point is that NOBODY with a name that LeBron has played with has played their best basketball with him on their team. That's a fact.


The myth that LeBron makes players better needs to end, because he doesnt....at least not anymore than any other Superstar in the NBA.

 

[jfkennedy]

You might be onto something ...

He gives them better looks than they've likely ever had, but he is pretty ball dominant. In fact, let most people control the ball as much as him and they'll match his assist totals. I thought it was fukked up when people called 'The Big 3' the 'Big 2.5' because they really turned Bosh from an All-Star to a very high paid role player.

Not to mention how if they don't win it's 'LeBron needs better teammates'. Hmm.

He doesn't make them better stats wise, but he definitely makes the game easier for them, no question.

 

[hayesc0]

exactly he got that shytty Cleveland team to the finals

Nobody has to prove you wrong but you're an idiot. You Kobe cocksuckers are the absolute worst. A despicable bunch of haters, it's sad.

yeah..

i'm now convinced that 87% of the coli posters don't really know shyt about basket ball

lol @ thinking that making teammates better is about making them having better stats.
