i know, it sucks big donkey balls...
lebron is such a lucky player... he's had the biggest silver spoon in his mouth of any player ever.
7 years in cleveland... he can't hack it, so he conspires with the best SG and PF in the league to be on the same team in Miami - that's like Bird calling up Jordan and Barkely and teaming up.
then he can't hack it in miami... so he goes back to cleveland again, where he's immediately awarded 2 all-star/dream-teamers to play with - the only team in the league with 3 all-stars from the previous year.
but it turns out that THIS wasn't even enough - so for some unknown reason, perhaps senility, Phil Jackson orchestrates a trade that nets Lebron 3 studs - Mosgov, JR Smith, and Iman Shumpert - I mean, it's just flabbergasting...
at some point while adding all this talent.... sure, yeah - lebron becomes the overwhelming favorite to win the ring - but is that due to him or all the machinations necessary to select a team for him that will work - ANY superstar can play with the best talent and win.

Bosh was the best PF in the league? :biggums:
[QUOTE=triangleoffense]oh god it's the same fans who thought they were making the finals with Larry Hughes in the early 2000s
LOL'D[/QUOTE]
Didn't we have Larry Hughes on the roster when we lost in the finals to the spurs that one year? I think it was 2007?
Hughes was a very underrated player btw. He was a very versatile wing who could score the ball, had decent handles, and was a good defensive player.

arguably. Timmy-D, Dirk, KG, and Bosh all in the conversation. People forget how good toronto Bosh was.

Bosh was never in the conversation with Dirk/KG/Duncan/Gasol...
He made one All-NBA Team (2nd in 2007).
Stoudemire was routinely ranked higher, Bosh was there with Boozer.

He was in his prime in 2010 - Bosh had the 4th highest PER in the league (25.0), leading all PF's.. at that time, he was right there with the best itl

Dude missed the playoffs and didn't make a single all-nba team... people like you as usual looking too much into stats on bad teams that don't go anywhere with no pressure and the green light...
2 years ago jr smith was 6th man of the year and played great all season. he can still play at that level, this post isn't awful, it's for sure jumping the gun, but the cavs are very deep right now.
Can't believe how stacked they became lately.
wtf

You know, I actually like you as a poster since Jordan was my sports idol growing up. But this is so obvious a troll. One, Cavs aren't winning this year. Two, comparing Wade and Bosh to Jordan and Barkley is :facepalm. Three, even if I go by the point that Wade and Bosh were the best at their positions like Jordan and Barkley...they still weren't even that. Wade you can argue for, but after 2011-2012 season, Wade declined hard. And Bosh the best PF:biggums:, maybe top 5, maybe.
He isn't trolling. He is genuinely terrified of LeBron adding to his legacy. Under this scenario, LeBron by age 30 would have 3 rings, 6 Finals, 4-5 MVP's (probably 4 but he has an outside shot if the Cavs keep rolling). That would be a pace of achievement that stacks up to anyone not named Russell. He is trying to spin it in advance by invoking the usual "stacked" argument pertaining to any team LeBron is on (even if said teams are horrible without him!).
