In What Way does Lebron Make his Teammates Better?

[intruder]

I'll preface this by saying, this is not a hate thread, so relax little Bronies and calm your .

I was watching


And Shannon started it by mentioning how much better Lebron makes his teammates. Now, can someone break this down for me? I mean let's think about this. Two teams:

1. Rajon Rondo
2. Andre Roberson
3. LBJ
4. Joakim Noah
5. Dwight Howard

Or

1. Rajon Rondo
2. Andre Roberson
3. KD
4. Joakim Noah
5. Dwight Howard

Are we seriously going to act like Lebron makes this team better than KD? You can fit KD in any roster, however you can't do the same with Bron, right? Or am I wrong and the analytics say otherwise?

Name how any player makes his teammates better

That's inaccurate as well. Bosh was the third option. Of course his statistics will go down. There is only one ball.


Kyrie averaged a career high this year on a career high field goal percentage. He averaged 25 on 47% shooting. That's the best Kyrie has ever played. Lebron made him better. Was James Harden averaging 30 in OKC? Was Westbrook averaging a 30 pt triple double in OKC? Does that mean KD reduced them?

I was talking more about him changing his game. Of course his stats would go down as the 3rd option Maverick.
