Why can't Lebron recreate the 2008-2010 Lakers?

[JohnMax]

Why can't Lebron just create a similar team and win rings that way?

.

[Cocaine80s]

He can but the competition is much tougher compared to the Celtics back then

[SyRyanYang]

That Lakers was nothing special compared to his superteams.

[Gileraracer]

Cause Lebron is a bad GM

[warriorfan]

finna act like the 08 celtics wouldn't be contenders today?


:biggums:

[dunksby]

Can't find prime Pau anywhere to carry him to rings.

[JohnnySic]

Good bigs are hard to find.

[34-24 Footwork]

He's not good enough.

Where are these guys now/how much success have they had?

Odom
Shannon Brown
Sasha Vujecic
Powell
DJ Mbenga
Bynum

Kobe had these guys competing in the western conference

[keep-itreal]

Bynum was the best center that time

Gasol was the best PF that time.

It's hard to find players like them

[ralph_i_el]

Why would he create a team designed to rebound bricked shots and defend good wings for him?

LeBron needs a team with shooters so he doesn't end up shooting a ton of bricks like in the Finals.

He and Kobe need different teams around them

[34-24 Footwork]

Bynum was the best center that time

Gasol was the best PF that time.

Wrong on both accounts :applause:

Kobe actually demands his teammates to be good basketball players.

Lebron demands his team be good shooters. This is the difference.

and lol @ pretending that bringing in Shump, Jefferson (and arguably Jr Smith) wasn't purposefully designed to relieve Bran of these duties.

Lebron has been the weakest defensive link in the past 2 finals.

[!@#$%Vectors!@#]

Because our King and national hero is mental midget.:mad: :mad: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:


Lebron Fails the Eye test while players like Kobe,Steph,Bird,Mj,Magic obliterate it


I'm still relativley new to basketball and I don't really care for advance stats or know what most of them mean. I didn't really know what to call it until someone mentioned it here on ish on when you just know from watching a player that they have "it" People call it the "eyetest"

So, I was thinking if it was possible to create an advanced stat that ties in stats but also context or "The Eye Test" I know it might be subjective but an advanced stat that ties in context would be great because as much as good stats are nice to look at it doesn't mean anything if context is no applied to it.

Maybe it can tie in stuff like


1.traveling
2.bit- ching
3.lack of footwork
4.Lack of Jumpshot
5.colluding
6.fg% protection
7.coach killing
8.throwing teammates under the bus when you choke
9.blaming jersey sleeves for a poor shooting night
10/.handpicking teammates then quiting once they get hurt
11.stiffarming
12.lack of respect for coach
13.HGH
14.feeling the need to get hair surgery ,
15.having another player say that they hope your arena smells like alcohol and not do anything about it
16.having mom getting banged by someone 3 years older than you named the BigLambo?

Lelbron fails the Eyetest that much is evident

[Showtime2001]

Bynum was the best center that time

Gasol was the best PF that time.

It's hard to find players like them

[IllegalD]

Because it would require him to play in the West, where he wouldn't make it past the 2nd round.

[IncarceratedBob]

Good bigs are hard to find.
They already have Tristan who is better than Pau was

[Kvnzhangyay]

They already have Tristan who is better than Pau was

lol

[riseagainst]

because he is not as good of a player as Kobe was.
