You switch the 2 and Miami likely sweeps. Westbrook and Harden would be useless with LeBron as they would never have the ball in their hands, and both are ball dominant players.

Wade would go back to his primary role pre LeBron and Miami would be better with Durant instead of James. This is pretty easy to see tbh

LeBron is the better fit, but Durant is the better fit on Miami or OKC

Their was a reason those guys were wide open, and it had nothing to do with their natural ability.

People bringing up Miami's role players need to shut up and learn about basketball. Why do think they were so wide open? Who do you think was creating those opportunities? Lebron James. Kevin Durant does not create for others. The man has averaged more turnovers than assist every single season of his career. Those same Miami players would not get the same shots they did playing with Durant as they do Lebron.

Not a Lebron fanatic, but I agree with the guy. I'll say no more than 5 though.
