Before they joined Kobe and Lebron....

Pau............ 1x all-star..... 0x All-NBA
Bosh,......... 6x all-star.... 1x All-NBA
Love........... 3x all-star.... 2x All-NBA


^^^ Bosh and Love > Pau

Since Lebron barely won with third options that were better than Pau, how could he win with Pau at second option?

Makes no sense.

Lebron-ball never produced sufficient chemistry to win with that little talent, and he also can't carry the scoring load, as Pau requires (too ball-dominant at carry-job volume to beat top teams).

Love stats Pre-LeBron - 26/13/2/59% TS

Bosh stats Pre-LeBron - 24/11/2/59% TS

Pau stats Pre-Kobe - 19/8/3/59% TS

It's safe to say that Kevin Love and Chris Bosh were better than Pau Gasol before they joined with their new teams

LeBron needed Bosh and Love as third options when he won

Kobe had Paul Gasol as a second option when he won

Yes, they are all similar level but Bosh and Love did a bit more before joining their super teams.

The main difference is Kobe and Pau was like peanut butter and jelly, but Lebron and Bosh / Love was plain ugly.

Chemistry and fit matter.

Indeed, and bad fits = skill deficit... Lebron couldn't provide the spacing that Wade or Westbrook needed, but KD certainly could or did... KD fits with everyone and would fit like a glove with Wade/Bosh... Not fitting with everyone like Curry, Kobe, or KD is a hole in someone's game that shows they lack scoring diversity, specifically the expert jumpshooting skill to have a viable assisted rate and play off teammates.

How did Dwight do with Kobe?

How did Dwight do with Kobe?

How did james harden do? Dwight refused to buy in to be an amazing p&r guy and demanded touches
in the post like the idiot he's always has been, in LA and Houston. With Kobe they used the "back injury"
and "lack of post touches" excuse all year until they got swept by the spurs in the playoffs without
Kobe by a 20 point difference if i'm not mistaken. James Harden couldn't stand him either.

You're trying to use context? That's hilarious.

Keeping it real, Love is the worst player of the 3, while Gasol & Bosh are debatable. I'd rather have Bosh for today's game, but I think Gasol provided more value for those Laker teams.

Bosh and Love were injured all the time. Pau always played. Big difference there. Lebron would have five rings/five FMVPs if Love could've stayed healthy.

He'd also have 5 rings if he didn't choke in 2011. :confusedshrug:
