a dude like Middleton would never develop to his full potential playing with bron
shyt like this is how nikkas ended up swearing Kyrie wasnt gonna work with Bron
Or AD would be turned into nothing but a floor spacer

Yall do realize Giannis Usage rate the last 5 years is about on par with young Bron and old Bron?

I mean damn what were all those threads about Giannis doing nothing but dribbling and driving for then?

Lebron also won a title with Cleveland so this point is moot

But LeBron still had superstar help to win that one with Kyrie, cause Kyrie was balling the fukk out in that finals breh, that mfer couldn't miss. I remember me and my family/friends were watching and we kept talking about Kyrie ass and that Bron wasn't doing shyt. We felt that Kyrie got robbed FMVP. Not to mention, Bron also brought Kevin Love when he was a star player aka Mr. Double Double on that T-Wolves team at that time.

Had Bron stayed in Cleveland he would've got one eventually.

He left after 7 years. This is Giannis' 8th year. Boston Celtics would've got old and not been able to keep up after a while. He would've had from 2012 to 2019 to dominate the East :yeshrug:
He would have probably won one, but thats not the point. Thats what makes this thread kinda dumb and exposes brehs.

Bron eventually winning 1 wouldnt have meant shyt if thats all he got. He'd be getting crushed more. Cavs blew it not trading for Amare. And without it it would have been tough to add a 2nd star. Mo Williams got worse the following year, Andy stayed injured, the new GM was pretty bad, etc etc.

Lets not act like they were the Bucks in getting a very good 3rd option (Holiday) and already drafting Middleton.

For Bron its been about ring count. He's got his 4. The critiism shouldnt be directed at leaving Cleveland. That turned out the best for Cleveland and Bron. The only thing to criticize is him taking the "easiest" path in Miami. The fact that it wasnt as easy cause of Bron/Wade's overlapping skillset is why he had to truly earn those rings.

Love was concussed in 2016 and averaged 4 PPG in the games the Cavs won :mjlol:

Bron dropped 40 in back to back closeout games and averaged 30 triple double. If you think Kyrie was outperforming him then you might as well say Middleton’s 40 points in game 4 or Holiday’s 28 and 14 in game 5is enough to say they outperformed Giannis in this series.

Naw he just got to play a Heat team in the finals with their two best players injured. That is too bad.

He won that series dumbass, which is kinda at odds with the premise of the thread. :mjlol:

And beat the 2017, 2018, and 2021 MVPs on the way there....while Giannis couldn't get past those same Heat. :skip:

He would've got multiple rings. As I said, the East would've been his from 2012 to 2019.

He's supposed to be the GOAT, right?

The fact you don't have alot of faith that he could've got multiple rings in that time frame says ALOT.

He took the easy way out.

Having 3 rings in Cleveland (+4 mvps & 3 finals mvps) would've made his resume way more ironclad than it is right now.
