he shot a career high in fg% that year and was only shooting 37% vs the spurs up until that game 7
It's not even close and this comes after watching Westbrook and coming to the conclusion that he is the equivalent of Iverson - but James without Wade? or a loaded team - he is a distributer first and foremost - he scores the quietest pounts u could ever imagine - the majority coming in transition where he is as good as Magic was at pushing the ball - but James is not a guy u can totally rely on for big basket AFTER big basket in BIG moments - this is not Dirk or Bird or even Manu in his prime - he hates that roll too - realistically James' perfect fit would be SA where he would be the best player on the team but be able to play team ball passing, boarding, defending and playing into a system where the guy with the best shot takes the next shot - he's the ultimate team player of all time just not the biggest gamer - nothing even remotely close to Kobe or Jordan in the regards
Spot on with LBJ. Also, great point on SA for Lebron, he would thrive there.
Kobe 2 finals win without Shaq....1 against an Orlando team that was only in the finals because Kevin Garnett's knee injury
The other against an old Celts team in which he shot 6/24 in game 7
LeBron completely dominates game 7 in all facets vs a superior all around Spurs team last year but Kobe has that "killer instinct" he "wants it more"
WTF does he want more, to shoot 25% and have Pau Gasol carry him?
Everybody forgets what Lebron couldn't do before Wade
Gonna go out on a limb and say LeBron going to the Heat has been much more beneficial for Wade than it has for LeBron.
Gonna go out on a limb and say LeBron going to the Heat has been much more beneficial for Wade than it has for LeBron. He took 30 games off for rest this year, without LeBron he wouldn't even be able to walk in June, much less play basketball.
It's weird the theories people comeup with in their heads. Kobe shoots 6-24 in game 7 of the finals and the Lakers still win, talk about a nice margin for error.
If LeBron shoots 6-24 in game 7 vs SA last year, how much do we think SA wins by? 30? 45? 70? Forfeit at halftime?
Definitely beneficial for both.
Again, when healthy Wade is a top 3-10 player in the NBA.
Having 2 of the best players in the league is nearly automatic domination in the game of basketball vs other sports.
The next big question is will Lebron become the player - version of Phil Jackson and merely follow the talent around...
