Lebron simply rigged it for a few years with superstar teammates but now it's back to normal - Giannis or Kawhi will make the Finals without the superstars that lebron needed
Btw, if the guy who COULDN'T make the 09' Finals was able to make it with Wade/Bosh, then the guy who DID make the 09' Finals would do the same if he was awarded Wade/Bosh - almost anyone makes it with them

middletons a star
lowrys still sort of a star
gasol is a former star
ibakas a former star
siakam is a budding star
bledsoe is a former star
brogdon is a budding star
mirotic was a budding star for most of the season
lopez is a former star
i think what OP means is you don't need multiple SUPERSTAR teammates

Lebron had to stack the deck with #2 and #4 in PER just to make it out of the east :eek:

Just to get out of the east implies that you think the east was stacked. Nice playing yourself.

Nah that just means that he needed this much help to achieve that. But you will not understand that anyway since Lebron stans have an average IQ of 20 :lol

None of those guys are superstars or the caliber of premium players and top 5 PER's Bosh or Love
Let alone Wade or Kyrie
And I changed the thread title to say "superstars" instead of 'stars'

yeah those guys were superstars
a star is anyone whos a boarderline allstar
^^^ The blue says superstar and the red says star
There's a difference
you can't compare 1-time all-stars like Middleton to 11-time all-star Bosh (who was 3rd option, not 2nd like Middleton).. or top 3 PER Love... Let alone Wade/Kyrie
And again, I changed the title to say "super"star instead of star.. a superstar isn't a Middleton-level player

LeBron won a finals series in 2016 without a star teammate. In fact it was against a team with 73 wins :biggums:

The funny thing is that Lebron is the one that lost with an all-star teammate on a 66-win team to a team that was missing it's all-star point guard.
