If you just took LeBron and put him on the Sixers? No other moves?
I doubt it. That would be by far the worst team he has ever played on in his career and I personally think he is slightly past his apex.
This is a team of 20 year olds with no guys who are ready to contribute to an NBA contender as more than decent roleplayers besides maybe Noel.
Lol the Sixers suck man. I mean he's good but he can't just carry a bunch of young guys like that. That's like a really good minor league team.
Been saying this for a while because I modeled my game after Lebron. ...I would force him right every single time because if you notice he never pulls up in his right hand willingly...if shot clock is running down sure. But he goes left better than he goes right and he can pull up when going left. Thats why he always hits that fadeaway out of bounds from that side of the basket.
The thing that makes him great is he is a point forward. He is a mismatch because he is too fast for big guys and too big for small guys. Jordan was average NBA size but was greater, no doubt.
James Harden has a way better skill set than Lebron james in basketball. But skill set doesn't always matter in basketball because it is also a game of size

It just isn't really comparing apples to apples. Harden might have a better skill set but he is at a huge deficit in size/athleticism.
Harden is about as skillful as you can get for a 6'4 player, he isn't really even an elite athlete like a LeBron/Westbrook. His handle in traffic is about as good as you can have at that size. In the NBA, to dribble in traffic below the top of the key like that is way harder than it looks. Reason nobody else really does it.
Even that team could play decent defense though. Good enough spotup shooters. Varejao very good rebounder/defender in his prime.
I think you guys are underestimating how bad the 6ers are. Not really because their talent is bad, they got some good young players but these guys are just kids. They don't really know how to play yet. You can't just drop anyone into that situation and they're gonna crush with a bottom 3 team in the league. The advantage a top player gives you isn't quite THAT big.
if you took the top 4 RXers at bball and put them with LeBron what you got them getting to .500 too?
Phil Jackson going to the Lakers and cleaning house with them kind of diminishes Jordan's legacy a little bit. Gotta be a little honest here, Jordan is probably 1 or 1a in terms of greatest ever, but the Bulls always had better coaching and a better team than anything Lebron has been on. Hell, I'd fucking take Horace Grant over Chris Bosh.
Let's be real here. Varejao is not a game changer. The cavs won 66 and 61 games the last two seasons Lebron was there. They won 19, 21, 24 the 3 seasons after he left. Come on now. In the West, no the 6ers with Lebron couldn't make it, but in the East... easily competitors with Lebron, especially if they kept MCW.
I doubt it. Cleveland was atleast solid defensive team with LeBron. They could stop average offensive teams very efficiently.
I can say pretty confidently that the 6ers would not be a good defensive team if LeBron joined them.
Also the workload to carry a team that shitty is a lot harder than you think. Don't think LeBron is quite up for that today. The Sixers are terrible man.
You can be good at everything and still not be the best player of all time. At some point in humanity, someone is obviously going to come along and be better than Jordan. People will probably pretend he isn't but I'm pretty sure it is going to happen eventually.
Some 7'2 HGH freak beast who can shoot 3s or something.
