What top 5 player in the league in the last 15 years....

[Skip_Bayless]

....has played with more teammates than LeBron James? Why does he need to have so many different teammates in such a short span if he's such a great team leader? Owners, coaches everyone has given him everything he's asked for, and he's played with almost 150 different teammates in his career only to be 3/9. What gives? Something tells me his teammates were never the problem...

The kid has been one of the most blessed superstars the game has ever seen. The ability to chose who he plays with, who he's coached by etc... it's unrivaled.

And the media applauds him for it under the "player empowerment" narrative. At the same time, like the cynical hypocrites that they're they claim Bran doesn't have enough help whenever the fraud sh1ts the bed.... and he sh1ts the bed quite often and regularly. To the point where it becomes a fvcking meme.

Now, anyone who isn't a sheep can smell this sh1t from a mile away... which should lead to the obvious logical end: asking more questions about the objective behind the intellectual dishonesty being fed....

Casuals however... they're herded like sheep in a pen. Ignorant and stupid enough to parrot the propaganda feed.... which to be fair to them, is not exclusive to sports. In politics it's much much worse. I guess the difference is, sheep might be more apprehensive about believing politicians (given their reputation), than believing at face value the word of an unseemly decent "sports analyst".

5-star quality thread by OP.

He represents everything that is wrong with the way the NBA is today. I'm just shocked by how many sheep we have in the world that actually buy into the bullshit.

He never was lucky to fall in a great organization like Wade did in Miami. Pat riley is a basketball genius.

You say lucky but none of the guys you have mentioned were elite when they played with him.

Kobe refused to play for the Hornets and chose the Lakers to draft him. Great move right? It would've been a disaster career for him if he did not fall into a winning organization.

LeBron Picks and choose they say? But from 2003-2010 who did he pick, which coach did he get fire? :confusedshrug:

The LeBron drama really started after the decision. The real question is who did the Cavaliers bring him, that was great enough to even consider them contenders? Shaq? :oldlol: Ben Wallace? Jamario Moon? Antwan Jamison? :wtf: Please stop being an idiot.

That Magic team who destroyed the Cavaliers, in 2009. That team was constructed around Dwight. They surrounded him with shooters like (Reddick, Rashard Lewis, Hedo, Michael Pietrus).

It's only when Lebron joined the Heat that they literally understood what supporting cast was needed around him. They brought him nothing but shooters. From Battier, Mike Miller, James Jones, Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis.

Busted his ass to become the best in the game and the most scrutinized basketball player, if not athlete of all time.

Forget top 5 and forget last 15 years even.

Has ANYONE in the top 20 even had as many different players to play with?

How much help does this guy need? When you've played with 150 some different players in such a short span (that you as LeGM asked for), it speaks volumes about who you are as a player and a person. Nothing else needs to be said.

It's simple - it's a media driven narrative. 20 years from now this period 2005-2020 or so will be viewed as the "dark days" of the NBA when people were colluding, team hopping, ring chasing, rules relaxed to increase scoring and gain interest with the "casual" fan. Like you mentioned - this isn't real basketball anymore - just 82 all-star "esqe" type games - 3 point jacking and no defense.

The sad part is that we have people defending this shit that don't know any better because sadly.... current state of the NBA is all they know. Once they experience a real era outside of this nonsense they will go back and realize how dumb they sounded for doubting what was being told to them. It won't be the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. Others will continue to repeat their mistakes, and the cycle continues.
