I mean, obviously, Lebron would Luka's best. The question of Luka being Lebron's best would be comparing him to like 2011 Wade or 2020 AD and while he had a vintage performance two nights ago, he still has to establish that being the norm going forward.

And here I was gonna say Porzingis was Luka's best teammate, good looks on persuading me it's LeBron instead.

:oldlol:

For me it was a push between Lebron and Tim Hardaway Jr., but Bron narrowly won out.

Yeah, Lebron's been STACKED with high level teammates throughout his career.

Yes to both.

Lebron is still a good rebounder and fastbreak runner.

For Luka yes. For Lebron the version of Dwayne Wade he teamed up with was better than Luka.

No. 2011 Wade. The only teammate lebron has ever taken a backseat too in the playoffs (Finals).

2011 Wade and Luka is an interesting discussion, but just that version of Wade. Less so 2012, and definitely not 13 or 14. But generally, 2011 Wade was top 3-4 at that time which is pretty much what Luka is now when firing on all cylinders. They occupy a similar space in the pecking orders for the leagues they play/played in.

Not to nitpick, but less so is underplaying it. The 2012 version of Wade is much closer to Scottie Pippen than he is someone like Luka.

Yeah that's true. My Wade fandom probably came through there a bit :lol, but 2012 Wade ain't close to Luka nor close to his 2011 self.
