    Default Will Anthony Davis suffer the same fate as Bosh and Love?

    25 year old Bosh w/o LeBron: 24/11/2 on 52%
    26 year old Bosh w/ LeBron: 19/8/2 on 50%

    25 year old Love w/o LeBron: 26/13/4 on 46%
    26 year old Love w/ LeBron: 16/10/2 on 43%

    25 year old AD w/o LeBron: 26/12/4 on 52%
    26 year old AD w/ LeBron: ?

    An interesting thing to note is how Bosh & Love's production AND efficiency were simultaneously stymied by Bron ball.

    Will AD become the first big man to thrive alongside LeBron?

    Fun fact: All three regular seasons from Love, Bosh, and AD prior to joining LeBron were better than any season of Pau Gasol's career.

    Holy shit! You might be on to something, it's almost like they went from 1st option on offense to 3rd......bron ball for the L?

    Ask them if they would rather average 25 and win 36 games or 18 and have the rings they both do.

    We all know the answer.

    Only losers sit with their grand kids talking numbers they averaged on teams that went nowhere.

    Its nice to be Shareef Abdur-Rahim...or Kelly Tripuka....Truck Robinson.

    But only the most serious fans remember your name. Trade 4-8 points for rings when you get paid the same either way.

    Bosh and Love were paid max money after they won rings with Lebron. What the hell are they worried about? Hundreds of millions of dollars and 8 finals trips with 3 rings between them and a much higher profile than they had on losing teams before that.

    From where do they summon the will to go on in life.....

    You dont go play with the guy likely to end up a top 3 all time scorer in his prime....with an additional superstar guard in both cases....and expect the same numbers. You expect worse numbers and more winning....aka....what happened.

    Being saved from a no where franchise and turned into a champion by LeGawd? I think he’d welcome it

    Also, don't forget on those "w/ LeBron" mentions that Bosh and Love were also playing with another ball dominate 25PPG scorer in Wade and Kyrie. I'm sure they had nothing to do with it either.

    In short, Davis will not suffer the same fat as Love or Bosh becuase he's not going to be the third wheel on this team like Love and Bosh accepted to be.

    Can you guys explain why their efficiency went down despite going from the focal point of defenses to being third options?

    Is it because Bron ball forced them to play further away from the basket than they were comfortable with, thus not being able to utilize key parts of their skillsets? Or is there an excuse for that too?
