Prime LeBron James and Prime Yao Ming. What if yao replace Big Z???

[Lebron23]

How many nba titles? Here's the Cavaliers lineup Yao Ming, Anderson Varejao, LeBron James, Larry Hughes and Boobie Gibson in the 2007 nba season. Yao Ming, Anderson Varejao, LeBron James, Delonte West, and Mo Williams from 2008-2010.

spurs swept cleveland in 2007 so i doubt they win with yao

yao didn't play in 2010, but assuming he did, and assuming cleveland made the finals all 3 years, they'd play the lakers each time so maybe they win 1

Sucks Yao was injury prone. And retired at age 30.

Would easily be the greatest perimeter-bigman duo of all time.

None, great defensive teams still expose Lebron's lack of shooting and Ming constantly got hurt. T-Mac and Yao couldn't get out of the first round when healthy and constantly dealt with injuries. Boozer looked like Shaq against Yao when the Jazz beat the Rockets in '07. He's not that much better than Big Z. Sure, he was a better scorer, but not better enough for them to beat the Spurs.

If Yao is healthy then a title every year.,

Is that why he's had much better efficiency than Kobe against those elite defensive teams? Of the approximately 50 PO series that LeBron has played in, he was bad in probably 4 or 5.

Spurs & Celtics both held Lebron to mid-30s in FG% and 5+ turnovers a game in '07 & '08. That's what I was referring to. We're talking about 2007 Lebron here.

They would be 1st seed every year west or east. The problem is I don't trust Yao on deep playoff runs, he will end up snapping his leg or something. Yao was looking great and could of beat Kobe's Lakers in 2009 but he injured himself early series and they still went 7 without him. Extremely injury prone player.

Better off replacing Big Z with someone like Rasheed Wallace.

If Tmac and Yao couldn't do anything how would Lebron and Yao do anything?

Lebron is the superior playoffs performer and more durable than tracy mcgrady

LeBron is vastly superior to TMac.

As I said, LeBron has 4-5 bad series out of nearly 50 total series player. Kobe has probably 20 bad series. Also, what I said is factually true. While LeBron may have had a couple of bad series against good defensive teams, Kobe had significantly more worse ones.
