Although LBJ'S stats haven't really falling off his IMPACT on the game was decreased. Gone are the days of AND 1'S, wearing defenders down with relentless drives to the basket, and running down opponents and blocking their shot off the backboard.

Would you agree that Lebron in his prime could take the Lakers to the finals or at least take the Warriors 6 games in the Western conference finals?

I think this laker is worst than Cavs' 2004-2010. So No. That Cavs team under Brown could defend.

No. This team is getting exposed. Fire Rob Pelinka.

We asking if Lebron would go to the finals with Pat Bev, Austin Reeves, and...another couple other names some people may have heard of?

No, the West isn't as pathetic as the Eastern Conference was during Bran's Finals run. Imagine Roy Hibbert Pacer's being your toughest competition:lol

If Lebron never did the "decision", he would've taken turns winning the East with rivals Paul George, Derozan, Wade and Bosh

But the "decision" consolidated power with Wade/Bosh/Lebron, so Paul George and Derozan had no chance.

It was an unprecedented advantage that Lebron enjoyed for 6 years until Durant set the new record for collusion in 2017

to the finals without wesbrook and AD? absolutely - on a different roster. the current roster is too dependent on AD because AD singlehandedly turns them from a terrible defensive team into a good defensive team. they're not a balanced defensive team they need his best in the league interior defense and elite defensive versatility.


young lebron is the most impactful regular season player of all-time so he could definitely carry a lesser team to a deep run in a stacked western conference, just not on this team young lebron or current veteran old lebron. this team is only going as far as AD's health allows.

A pre-prime, 22 year-old (2 years younger than 24!) LeBron led a team whose 2nd leading scorer in the eastern conference finals was some dude named Gibson, Daniel.

I agree with OP. Prime Lebron never led a superteam to the lottery.
