I consider a carry job as when a player didn't have one single player who was a top 5 draft pick or at one point in his career was a top 5 MVP candidate.
We will go from the last 29 years (1991 - present)
1991 - Jordan had Pippen who was a top 5 MVP candidate
1992 - Jordan had Pippen who was a top 5 MVP candidate
1993 - Jordan had Pippen who was a top 5 MVP candidate
1994 - Hakeem had nobody who was a top 5 MVP candidate or top 5 draft pick
1995 - Hakeem had Clyde who was a top 5 MVP candidate
1996 - Jordan had Pippen who was a top 5 MVP candidate
1997 - Jordan had Pippen who was a top 5 MVP candidate
1998 - Jordan had Pippen who was a top 5 MVP candidate
1999 - Duncan had Robinson who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2000 - Shaq had Kobe who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2001 - Shaq had Kobe who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2002 - Shaq had Kobe who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2003 - Duncan had Tony Parker who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2004 - Billups had Rasheed Wallace who was a top 5 draft pick
2005 - Duncan had Tony Parker who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2006 - Wade had Shaq who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2007 - Duncan had Tony Parker who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2008 - Paul Pierce had Kevin Garnett who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2009 - Kobe had Pau Gasol who was a top 5 draft pick
2010 - Kobe had Pau Gasol who was a top 5 draft pick
2011 - Dirk had Jason Kidd who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2012 - Lebron had Wade who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2013 - Lebron had Wade who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2014 - Kawhi had Duncan who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2015 - Curry had Bogut who was a top 5 draft pick
2016 - Lebron had Irving who was a top 5 draft pick
2017 - Durant had Curry who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2018 - Durant had Curry who was a top 5 MVP candidate
2019 - Kawhi had nobody who was a top 5 MVP candidate or top 5 draft pick
2020 - Lebron had Davis who was a top 5 draft pick
So the biggest carry jobs based on having a roster without any top 5 MVP candidates or top 5 draft picks? That title belongs to Hakeem and Kawhi who also happened to be the only players ever with multiple defensive player of the year and finals MVP awards. The two most dominant two players of all time in Hakeem\Kawhi, give them no talent and they will still win the finals MVP. Wow.
