    It would be like if MJ was pissed at Scottie for his migraine series and loss to Detroit, so he hopped teams to play with clyde drexler and terry porter in a ready made Portland situation. And then when that well ran dry went to go play with David Robinson and Dennis Rodman. And I can't even think of a 90s analogy for playing with Kyrie at the top of his game. I want to say Kevin Johnson but he choked in the Finals, while Irving went Wilt.

    All in all you get the point... there's never been a player in prime to team hop around with top talent like Lebron did.

    Shaq comes the closest going from penny to kobe to wade but kobe wasnt established on that first team hop.

    If you all remember Lebron while in Miami really chose between business or bball 101.
    If he stayed in Miami his teams going forward would of been retooled by Riley.

    I seriously believe he could of easily have gotten 3-4 more chips.
    But he looked to LA because he knew his brand would expand , and even though taxed , he would become a billionaire.

    That is the bottom line , business vs bball titles.

    6-7 probably! It's much harder to win when you're playing with new teammates and change teams. Look at all those failed experiences of Durant etc and look how the teams that stuck together playing for years tght like the Warriors are doing. It's just easier when you know exactly what everyone's gonna do then to figure out from scratch and try to adapt the whole time like Lebron. Lebron never joined a superstar team that was doing great for years. He always had to figure out from the scratch on how to win with a total different cast.

    Dude won with 3 different teams being the best, crazy. Even a great player like Jordan, as soon as he didn't have his strong core players with him his team did atrociously bad. It's not easy to jump ship (unless you join a team for example like the Suns, Celtics, GSW that are great and together for years). It's easy to stay in your comfort zone playing with the same guys for years.

    If Lebron was on the Warriors he'd have 15 rings by now.

    Bird? To have McHale?

    Which spot? He wins more than anyone in all spots anyway but just curious, which one?
    You can bet your butt all 5 of those win more than just 2 miserable rings with Wade and bosh
