For such an extended period of time too? The only ones that would even have a logical case would be Hakeem and KG, and even I think their teammates were slightly better than LeBrons

Agreed OP. Mo Williams, Larry Hughes, Danny Green, Carlos Boozer, Shaquille O'Neal, Anderson Varejao, and Zydrunas Ilgauskas are all scrubs

Consistently the best defensive and three point shooting team in the league. Huh, sounds perfect for bran actually.

We're counting Boozer now Originally Posted by russwest0

They played 1 season together in LeBron's rookie year.
As for the other players? None are better than Role Players.

When you take a team with Aaron Mckie as your second best scorer, you know you are probably going to get destroyed in the finals. Despite that, AI went off for 48 in the first game and a few other games in the series were pretty close. I sometimes watch game 1 2001 NBA finals every once in awhile. One of the greatest individual performances I have ever seen live. Originally Posted by Black and White

I've actually just recently heard that he had 66 winshares that year they won 66 games. Turns out he did everything and his teammates did literally nothing. Originally Posted by RoundMoundOfReb

Would have been interesting if he stayed with the Cavs. Would have at least made the 2007 NBA finals a little closer. Maybe a 5 games series instead? Originally Posted by RoundMoundOfReb

Either way you got to credit LeBron for taking a bunch of scrubs to the NBA finals. For christ sake, that team made a washed up Larry Hughes look like an all star.

Re: Has any other all-time great had worse teammates than LeBron had in Cleveland?
LeBron was not a very good defensive player at that stage in his career, it was one of his weaknesses. They were a great defensive team because they had a lot of strong defensive players on the team. They were built that way. and they specifically brought in great 3 point shooters to camp the perimeter because it fit LeBron's style of ball. it was no accident. Originally Posted by RoundMoundOfReb

Oh yeah? Why didn't his other players sink their threes this year, then? Originally Posted by RoundMoundOfReb
