Your theory of him scoring 40 without those 2 is flawed. You do realize having bosh and wade on the floor makes it easier for him to score hence his high shooting percentage and high assist numbers. Take those 2 off and he aint playing like this
I'm not questioning his efficiency. I'm questioning whether he would get enough attempts to do it. That's not flawed, it's math. He's a very smart player, and he's not going to shoot more than 17-20 times a night with a loaded team.

One can only wonder if he would have gotten to this point faster in CLE if they had surrounded him with better teammates and leadership. For those caught up on rings would he be GOATworthy now if he had won those first two Finals with no change in his performance?





The Heat were a couple plays here or there from sweeping. Obviously his teams needed more from him to win, that's not the point though. The basis of my hypothetical is very simple...what if his team didn't need more out of him in order to win ie what if he had better teammates that could have got the team over the hump even with him playing how he did? Would that make him better as an individual in your eyes?
he's that GOOD breh
