LEGOAT has NEVER played on a superteam
The true definition of a superteam is when you can remove 2 players from a team and they will still be a championship contender. Legoat's time with the Heat constitited of Wade being hurt half the season and Chris Bosh was the equivalent to Julius Randle today. One year Wade played 44 games and another year he played 56.
The Cavaliers was never be a "big 3" Kevin Love was the equivalent to Christian Laetner, and Irving was hurt 50% of the time.
A superteam was the Golden State Warriors lead by Durant and Curry, and the true definition of a Big 3 was the Celtics lead by Garnett.

Lebron made his superstar teammates worse so Wade had only 1 year of prime with him, while Bosh and Love were turned into role players. You cant say he aint on a superteam ever because it wasnt possible to utilize every all-star teammate of Lebron's to maximum potential. Same reason why you cant complain to your parents for not funding you for college education when you wasted the money in casinos.

Re: LEGOAT has NEVER played on a superteam
That MIA team was built to win. They were mostly young, prime players. Plus it meant siphoning the competition out of the East. Raptors when from a 40 win team to a 20 win team with Bosh leaving. Even Lebron liked the odds so much that he was promising multiple championships. Can't remember if he stopped at 7 or 8 chips.
BOS was different. KD and Ray were both past prime. Pierce was the youngest but not necessarily young.
GSW was a superteam. The 73 win team without KD was fine. They built themselves up. KD joining was one of the worst moves.

Love, Kyrie, Smith are all solid players to have. Since Lebron is ball dominant that may not be evident but that was a solid team in CLE. Not necessarily a superteam but it was a really good team.
AD is a monster to have as a team mate. And LA had a really deep and good lineup last year that I would say it is close enough to a superteam.

You realize that the rest of your post just make this part invalid right? You logically explained the actual reason as to why Lebron's teammates numbers decreased (and his own numbers for that matter), but somehow still want to blame Lebron for it.

Yeah Lebron's teammates numbers decreased because everyone had to play in Lebron's system. Lebron's teammates always had to make sacrifices and do what Lebron needed them to do, while Lebron never tried to adjust himself for his teammates. I dont even want to begin talking about Wade and Hughs, but lets think about Bosh, Love and AD. Why did their rebounding numbers all decrease sharply while the same didnt happen to Lebron? Whats the justification for Lebron stealing defensive rebounds from his all-star big men teammates?

You can add montrez to that list. They become passive players playing in the bron system. Over time that sense of responsibility goes away.

This isn't true.
As for the rebounds, Kevin Love is quoted as saying that everyone steals rebounds from each other. He may have lost 1-2 a game to Lebron but stole some himself. He said he probably loses 4-5 a game to Drummond.

Re: LEGOAT has NEVER played on a superteam
Dude had peak Shaq and lost in round 2. Dude had peak Duncan/Iverson and won bronze medal. Dude had peak Ben Wallace and lost with HCA to Dwight Howard. Dude had peak Wade/Bosh and lost to Dirk. Need I say more?
