    Default Wade = Drexler.. AD = DRob.. Luka = Bird.. Kyrie = KJ... Bosh/Love = Worthy/McHale

    Imagine playing with Drexler, Robinson, Bird, KJ, McHale and Worthy but losing catastrophically most years via sweep, record loss, upset loss, etc, and never producing a great team, while having a lottery record against Finals teams (22-33)..

    It's called fraud folks - enjoy your season

    Lebron-ball has a losing record with every type of good roster, such as 4-4 with preseason favorites, 4-6 with Finals teams, 4-5 with 1 or 2 seeds, and 4-8 with all-star teammates.. Otoh, MJ is undefeated in all these scenarios (edit: 6-2 with all-star teammates due to baseball year and migraine year).

    Imagine comparing Kevin Love to Kevin McHale.

    It isn't Love's fault that Lebron turned him into a spot-up shooter that cratered from 26 to 16 ppg in his first season with Lebron.

    Otherwise, Love's statistical peak was higher than McHale's.

    Regardless, who would you prefer instead of McHale, and we're talking about 2011-2014 Love (pre-Lebron) - people thought Love was great enough to give him All-NBA despite losing teams, which is somewhat rare.

    Ultimately, regardless of who the proper comps are, it's insane that 1 guy teamed up with so many franchise players (6), yet stils struggled to win with many bad losses to every Tom, Dick, and Harry.. Lebron has a lottery record of 17-36 in the playoffs against the Nuggets/Spurs/Warriors (ball movement teams), and he also lost 3 times as a favorite to 1-star teams that he never ended up beating (Dirk, Dwight, Ant)
