Rasheed Wallace on LeBron James playing in his era“I don’t think he would be as successful as he is"

[Shadow King]

I don’t understand what you’re trying to prove breh. You’re trying to take this argument everywhere. My argument is LeBron would be just a good player without superteams. Every Finals he’s played in outside of 2007 and 2018 has been with a super team. Those two years he wasn’t he got smashed. There’s no evidence he would’ve been as dominant without one. Why are you arguing and more importantly why are you arguing with NBA players. They have a right to feel that way about him. Get over it man.

The point he's trying to prove is that the 2007 Spurs were far superior to the 2007 Cavs overall, and the 2018 Warriors were vastly superior to the 2018 Cavs overall, but you know this.

Another deranged Bron Stan with a disingenuous take. Now suddenly the Lakers and the Pistons weren’t good teams when Jordan beat them. Everybody suddenly became old and worthless the exact moment Jordan beat them. Every argument yall make, makes people dislike yall more and more. Stop the crying and whining breh. There’s nothing you can say on here. GOAT conversations are not won on the internet. Tell him to go win 2-3 more rings.

Where did this man say the Pistons or Lakers "were not good teams" in 1991?

Every team Lebron played in the finals until 2020 was better than every team MJ played in the finals

We’re in the Big Three/Superteam Era.

Water is wet.

The problem with LeBron isn’t that he needs a super team to win — he doesn’t. The problem is that he ran around the league jumping into favorable situations.

LeBron would still dominate and win MVPs, accolades, break records, etc, but how many rings he would win the 80s/90s would depend on what team drafted him.

He implied it with that silly comment “name a team Jordan beat”. It’s a stupid question to ask.

The point I’m trying to prove is everytime this man didn’t have a team of superstars and killers he lost. He played a great part in engineering the superteam era than tries to play like he’s a victim. He can’t win with just a Pippen or a Gasol otherwise he wouldn’t have made those choices.

So….like I said. You not winning 4 rings in the 80s and 90s jumping from team to team to team. He would’ve had to make his team into a contender and I don’t see it. Maybe he gets 1 ring.

so bron could have been drafted to the lakers right out of a title the last year or the celtics after a tilte year it would have been cool right?


lebron was drafted to the wrose possible FO and team

lets just be real people wanted him to stay there and rot

Lebron played on so many super teams he lead his teams in every category for 3 of his 4 titles

I see a lot of words but no teams

Don’t ever use quotes around my words and leave shyt out. That’s ESPN level goofy

 

[Dallas' 4 Eva]

Even that '11 Mavs squad would of probably ran through Jordan's comp. The Jazz are the only team Jordan played in the finals that I think would of been competitive would of been the Jazz, and I still think Dirk would have lit them up worse than he did the Thunder.

He said "name a team that Jordan best that was better than his".

The point you're trying to prove is bullshyt.

You mean like the first seven years of his career? I guess that depends on if the front office actually put respectable talent around him. Not the shyt he actually played with.


Why would he not put himself into a favorable situation? As long as he’s still proving his worth as an elite player..

How were the Pistons not the better team at the time when they beat the Bulls three years in a row? How were the Lakers not the better team when they were the dominant 80s team? We not talking about in hindsight today but at the time in 1991. Y’all can’t help but to make bad faith arguments.

Wasn’t MJ drafted to a shytty team also? The fact is Bron and Cavs were getting better and on the verge of breaking through by 2009, 2010. Bron not a grinder like MJ. MJ is mentally and competitively stronger by a mile and that’s the difference. The basketball skills is tit for tat cause they don’t even play the same position and have different responsibilities.

All of a sudden dynasties are old when MJ leveled up but when Bron finally beat Boston in 2012 he’s king
