Are the 07' Pistons the only time Lebron overcame a talent deficit?

[RRR3]

He had his career high TS% the year Kobe was first retired.

Nice spin job doe.

Do you actually think 16 Kobe wasn’t one of the worst players in the league?

- From 2011-2014, the Heat's main victories were the young Thunder (inferior to prime lebron/wade/bosh), and the 13' Spurs (not better than the heat's 4 HOF lebron/wade/bosh/allen)

- From 15-18', the Cavs' main victory was the 16' Finals, where Lebron's 2nd option demolished the Warriors' 1st option, so lebron only had to outplay klay

Conclusion: the 07' Pistons are the only team with greater talent that Lebron beat

Nah, he ruined the game

And do you realize that he would be borderline top 10 if Durant hadn't gotten hurt and won 2 more rings?

With 4 rings, there would be pressure to rank Durant and Lebron together, which would mean no more top 3 for Lebron.. both KD and lebron would've been labeled borderline top 10

But it's okay because kawhi will do the same thing in 2021 when he gets to 4 rings and 4 fmvp

[QUOTE=RRR3]LeBron had the most talented team in 17 and 18 now lmao

At absolute best you could claim he had the most talented team from 11-16. That

Agreed on this. How would Bron look if KD didn't get injured and 3-Peated? How meaningless would Lebron's 9 Finals become if another player 3-peated with 3 FMVPs in his era?

But now we have another possible scenario. Kawhi is primed to win at least one more ring and FMVP and Durant is young enough to still get his 3rd once he fully recovers. Would Lebron's 3 rings in 9 Finals be seen as impressive at all if two others guys at his position win the same amount with just one Finals loss to their name vs. his 6? "But but he got to 9 Finals! ". Yeah, while playing in the weakest Conference since the 80s West.
