Teaming up with stars isn't "making guys better" - Lebron never elevated teammates

[3ball]

No one saw their stats grow during their tenure with Lebron - no one grew alongside him - everyone was already good before joining him..

And only elite shooters played near their career high (capacity) alongside Lebron, while everyone else played below capacity and didn't improve alongside him.

Otoh, guys like Pippen, Grant and BJ grew from single-digit rookies into champions.. So teammates got better alongside Jordan, while Lebron just teams up.

What stars pal?


Tons of guys were perennial all-stars before joining Lebron, such as Wade, Bosh, Love, AD, and Kyrie.. Even Zydrunas was already an all-star before playing with Lebron

MJ had the the GOAT defensive team. MJ made Pippen take discount contracts so they could retain players
