Thwy were both unproven and had no playoff experience before bron.
Hell we had 2 straight seasons of Kevin Love slandee by the media and even bron was subtweeting him. He has barely looked like himself until this year IMO.
Bron is the superteam
Wherever he goes =instant contender.
You can't say that about any other player in the league
Lets not even talk about when he teamed up with wade ( already a finals mvp. Had averaged 27+ points in multiple years) and Chris Bosh (multiple time allstar). Lets just talk about the Cleveland super team.
Just because you have no playoff experience doesnt mean you aren't a great player. If KD went and teamed up with Karl Anthony Towns and Devin Booker in the east next year, that wouldnt be a super team?
To make this even more similar to lebron, lets imagine this is a league without the GS super team and without the cavs (since the complexion of the league was different back then). When LeBron made this move, this was before the GS juggernaut. That wouldn't be a prohibited favorite coming out of the east? A Karl Anthony Towns, KD, Devin booker core would be scary good.
And no, bron makes super teams. This whole Lebron is a super team is revisionist history. 7 years in Cleveland before he started teaming up with multiple allstars and all nba players : 1 final appearance. Had multiple 60 win teams get bounced in conference play
Starts playing with D wade and chris bosh. 4 straight finals appearances.
Stars playing with Kyrie and Love 3 straight finals.
And put KD on any team in the east and he makes them legit contenders. Especially if you let him take 2 young allstars with him
Stop trying to down play the talent around him to big up his legacy. His great enough on his own. Dont need to be disingenuous
