Has Anyone Had As Stacked Teams throughout their career like LeBron?

[selrahc]

If it wasn't for all the stacked teams LeBron has played with he would just be another Tracy McGrady. He has pretty much had a super stacked team every year since he was drafted.

[Done_And_Done]

Don't buy into the bullshit around here man. No sense in playing the game. It'll get you nowhere.

Lebron has played with some pretty stacked teams.
Lebron is also an extremely great player.

Stacked teams should be able to get to playoffs or at least have winning records minus said player.

I believed the Lebron played on his first team in 2014 that had a positive plus/minus without him on the court...

That does not scream "stacked teams" unless we are now claiming that "stacked" teams must include Lebron James when considering their "stackness" which is the most retarded thing I have heard in a long time.

Explain this OP

Cavs 66/62 wins

Lebron leaves

Cavs worst record in the league + record losing streak

Joins Miami, team wins at a 65+ win pace after a slow start due to chemistry issues

4 straight finals

Leaves Heat

Heat replace him with 3 all-star level players, and fresh new bench talent

Miami fails to record atleast 38 wins to make the playoffs

Lebron joins Cavs

After injuries and chemistry issues, Cavs winning at 65+ win pace

Cavs lost 1-9 when Lebron was out

1. The cavs were already losing before any real injuries, and majority of the team was the same from the year before

2. The heat had injuries but they were still losing even when Bosh and Wade were healthy. They even got Deng, Dragic and Whiteside as well as a young and invigorated bench to replace Lebron leaving. Even with Wade healthy and all these three all-star level players... They still couldn't make the playoffs

3. Cavs went 1-9 when Lebron was injured. To say they were tanking? Ridiculous. This was a team with championship aspirations. Kevin Love took a bigger role along with Kyrie while Lebron was out... They went 1-9

1 player in the NBA can make an astronomical difference/impact like no other sport.

Lebron = Superstar
Wade = Superstar
Bosh = Top tier PF (star)

He played with a stacked cast in Miami (especially in the first 3 years) no matter how you try to spin it.

Then that Superstar Wade should be able, when playing 62 games, be able to take his team to the playoffs "in the weakest conference of all time."

And once again, :roll: at including Lebron as part of his own help.

[Cleverness]

LeBron has had the most stacked team in the league in at least 2-3 playing years for sure

2010-2011 Heat
2011-2012 Heat
2012-2013 Heat (arguably Durant's Thunder or Duncan's Spurs)
2014-2015 Cavs (arguably Stephen Curry's Warriors)

that's it guys.

[retaxis]

Kobe had stacked team with shaq and fisher and PHIL for like six years. Then he stacked the decks from 08 to 13 with pau, bynum, howard, nash, artest, ariza etc so that's another five years. Kobe had a stacked team for 11 years and won 2FMVP. Lebron had it for 4 years if even that had won two FMVP. Give bron another seven years of great teams and he will end up with 5 to 6 FMVP

[nzahir]

Pretty much everybody in the top 10 except Hakeem had a stacked team at some point in their career :confusedshrug:
Vernon maxwell, thorpe, horry, kenny smith, and guys like ellie in 1994 then they traded thorpe for clyde in 95.

Then he played with guys such as chuck and scottie even though both past primes. Dont tell me hakeem didnt have talent either; everyone who wins has talent, nobody has done it on there own and nobody will

[KNOW1EDGE]

OP is right.

LeBron sucks. Every poster on ISH could beat him 1 on 1.
he only is good because he has ALWAYS played on absolutely stacked teams. Larry Hughes, Boobie Gibson, Mo Williams, Andy Verajao, Jr Smith etc etc etc

LeBron is the worst player in the nba. No gm would ever want him on their roster.

[I<3NBA]

the addition of Lebron makes teams stacked.

[6 for 24]

LeBron takes the easy way out by constantly teaming up with superstars like Tristan Thompson and Timofey Mozgov. I prefer my heroes to be of the Kobe Bryant mold; for example, Kobe Bryant. Remember 2012? In the pre-season everyone pencilled the Lakers in as the worst team in the NBA. It was the self-proclaimed Black Mamba and a bunch of minimum contract journeymen like Nash, Howard, Gasol, and Artest. Yet, by sheer willpower and shot volume, Kobe was able to carry them to a top seed (7th)... one of the great achievements in league history. Unfortunately LeBron's voodoo was at work that year and he saw to it that Kobe was maliciously injured just weeks before the inevitable championship. History can be cruel even to the great ones.

OKC/Warriors/Clippers/Pacers (2013) = stacked through draft and trades.


LeBron was sick of defeat and ran to another accomplished champion in wade because he couldn't get over the hump.

His supporting casts in miami are the most overrated of all time.

Wade's game doesn't complement lebron's. Bosh played out of position, so they never maximized his value as a player. He was forced to be mainly a defensive player since they had no big men. Bosh got hurt and then played hurt in 2012. Wade declined in the playoffs in 2012 because of his knee. Their 4th best player was battier. In 2013, wade was worse than 2012. They had a couple bad matchups for bosh in 2013. Battier declined significantly.

I would take this supporting cast even without love and irving over anything in miami because they all fit well. Tristan thompson this year has been more valuable to lebron than bosh any year, and more valuable than wade in 13-14.

I can explain all of that.

Cavs were bad the year lebron left, because many players left with him, varejao got injured early, Mo even said he doesn't have motivation to play, team was a mess from chemistry standpoint and injury ridden.
Of course he's going to win big in Miami with three franchise players on one team.
Miami would've made the playoffs easily, bosh missed half the season, Wade missed 1/4 of the season, deng was also injured quite a bit, yet they still were like four games out of the fourth seed.
Cavs are winning big because there's three franchise players on the cavs yet again with one of the most stacked teams ever alongside them.
LeBron's a great player, but he's picking best situations for him, not the toughest ones like ATGs do

As far as T-Mac goes, reality is if Lebron had one of those Tracy McGrady teams he would certainly have more than 2 championships by now.... can you imagine Lebron playing with simply only prime Yao Ming? Holy hell....

this is all on Spo, pretty much refused to put JJones on the court during the run in Miami. Lebron called Spo out on it too, saying he rather JJ out there as it fit his drive n kick game well--subliminal shot to Spo's game calling.

Lebron's recruiting got JJ to the Cavs, and they utilize his 3pt threat very well in games, and that's with gunners like KI, Smoover and even Shump on the squad. whether it's Blatt or Lebron assisting in the rotations, they're getting it right for the most part with all the injuries around.

Im a huge lebron ******ger but I will be objective. I think lebron's team was stacked in 11, and they woulda been equally stacked this year (without injuries). In 12, dwade visibly took a smaller role, as did bosh, but lebron picked them up and they adjusted to lebron ball. 13 was an extension of 12, and lebron ball still worked. In 14, everyone on the heat not named lebron fell off and that was why lebron left them, IMHO.

please use this reference of superstar lightly...it's been a good 4yrs since he's been remotely close this level.

and really, referencing grandpa Shaq as someone noteworthy during Lebron's campaign :facepalm



as others have mentioned, it's very uncommon that a title team is NOT stacked to some degree:

Showtime Lakers
80's Celtics
Isaiah Pistons
MJ Bulls
Shaq's Lakers
TD/Manu/TP
Cetics Big3 + Rondo
Kobe + 7ft front court Lakers
Heat's Big3


then there's all the non-title teams that have had stacked squads that couldn't finish the job in winning the ring:

2015 Clippers
2012 OKC
2015 Mavs
Lakers superteam of 2004
Lakers superteam of 2012
Heat 2011 and 2014
Nash and the Suns
Melo and the Nuggets
2006 Pistons
Malone/Stockton Jazz


both lists go on and on over the years and the stacked team rhetoric is pretty tired right now :rolleyes:
