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

[#StarkSet]

Pippen had better stats the year Jordan retired. Guess Jordan didn't make Pippen better.

Or maybe just maybe, you have to contribute more when you aren't playing with a superstar. You dumb fukk. Lebron made the teams better, idiot. Them having better stats elsewhere on bum ass squads didn't mean they were better players that season. Got damn you a simple ass nikka.

U dumb as fukk u fukking simpleton



Why is it that all the supposed good players who played with Kobe regressed after they stopped playing with the lakers?

Why is that every player lebron has played with has had better seasons without him?


Riddle me that fakkit



Take ur ass outta this thread

Kobe> Bron


but as a black man why are assist the measuring standard and all good when it comes to Steve nash....but it is marginalized when a black man does it? #c00ns up in this thread

And you can throw Rondo in the argument as well. They discredit his assist by any means

The Cavs went from what the Conference finals to the worst record in the league once Bron left. I guess he did it all himself huh and didn't have those guys with him playing at a higher level. You think any of the teams Kobe took deep into the playoffs would have the worst record if he weren't on the team? Wasn't no team with a prime Shaq having one of the worst records in the league. Again Bron is on the throne? Stop addressing me simpleton.

This thread should be titled: "Old players were better in their youth and prime"

Why do people think Lebron is a great defender because he blocks his opponent's shot when they are not looking?

word. it's a classic style of play that works.


everyone don't have enough skilled passer to be the spurs and get hockey assist all day. Not everyone should be making decisions and passing a lot...they need to be spotting up or slashing.

you need court awareness....don't get blocked from behind!

playing passing lanes is good defense team wise. But locking down your man makes a great defender. Bron is good...but i wouldn't say great until he locks someone up of good offensive talent.

It's not about lebron as much as it is the whole "makes his teammates better" stuff is an essentially worthless basketball cliche that doesn't mean much other than "he demands a double team and gets otherwise marginal players open shots occasionally"...but gets used as some mystical abstract attribute that functions like a cheat code in a videogame...and selectively applied in arguments to denigrate or glorify players based on preconceived notions...Melo loses against the pacers in the prior round and it's largely because "he didn't make his teammates better"...I think the Heat will end up beating the Pacers and beat the Spurs in the Finals, but if they don't...the talking point won't be how Bron failed to make his (already far superior teammates respective to Melo's) teammates better...it'll be how they failed him...and depending on his personal play, what he didn't do

What I will kind of say that's a more Lebron-centric type thing, is how the status/perception of players he plays with seems to be diminished instead of raised and the resulting deficit going to Bron's greatness...whereas we see in the case of a guy like Pau went from being an unsung marginal one time all-star, to being hailed as "the best big in the league" the moment he was traded to the Lakers and paired with Kobe....wade went from a top 3 in the entire league to little more than simply Bron's second option...and Bosh went from allstar big scorer big, to basically just a role player

Lebron is a great player there is no doubt


But that is the dumbest argument ever of course if you take lebron, kobe, cp3, old wade, old kg off a team and dont replace him with a star the team is gonna suck dikk unless u are melo

So a team with prime Shaq or with a prime Gasol, Lamar Odom. Andrew Bynum and Ron Artest would have sucked dikk?

This nikka said he didn't make Ben Wallace better

put any star in lebrons shoes and that team would have been terrible after they left

 

[PortCityProphet]

Unless he's at practice teaching them how to shoot better or making them work on weak parts of their game then he's not making them better. That goes for any player Bron, Kobe, Melo, CP3 etc

 

[FTBS]

"Making teammates better" in and of itself is a myth. It's just a way to further suck off a great player on a great team. That said Bron certainly does make the game easier on his teammates and gives them ample opportunity to shine.

So you're saying that he made them all play at a higher level or that one single player can basically single handily lift a team from the worst record in the league to the NBA finals with a bunch of guys playing some of the worst ball of their careers? Either way I think you are validating the reason he is the MVP and considered the best player on the planet.
