Nah Voltron requires five team members to assemble he was on some three power rangers before they convert the two evil nikkas. But he never got the two evil nikkas
Nah he got them. He just couldn't play Bron ball with them and they still be 100% effective. And since Bron ball is the only style of ball Bron can/will play, well, you know...

That's the difference btwn KD and Bron. KD can fit seamlessly anywhere. Can you imagine Bron playing with a dude like Westbrook and putting up 30/8/5 on 50/40/90 :russ: And while also not taking away from Westbrook's game? KD basically did that shyt for 4 years. Still effective, still smooth af. Same with GSW. He doesn't have to cripple Klay or Steph's game to take over as their best player and be the go to guy in the clutch. Bron had to do that with Wade and Bosh. He took away his own 2 evil nikkas after shytting the bed their first year together.

It’s so funny how narratives change over the years.

When Bron was in Miami he had ungodly shooting splits, dude was shooting near 60 pct from the field as a wing and all I used to hear was his “stats were inflated because of the Miami SYSTEM.”

If you really watched the Heat play you’d know Bron was the king of easy buckets around that time and maintained such a high fg percentage by being a dominant off ball player—cuts to the basket, alley pop lobs, roll man on the PnR. Of course his jumper and overall arsenal was improved as well but dude was literally not working for buckets and people used to hate on him for it. He literally averaged near career lows in assists in Miami.

Now revionist history has claimed that “Bron Ball” is the reason Miami lost. :mjlol: Bron Ball is a myth, he shifts his game to his teams capabilites.

Did Bron and KD both go to stacked teams yes or no?

the answer is an obvious yes, they both went to stacked teams


theres a difference between forming a stacked team, and going to one.

theres also a difference between a big 3 and a stacked team. the Miami team that first year was basically just the big 3. there were a gang of better overall rosters from top-to-bottom that year.

What is the end result?

Being on a stacked team right?

Good point but it also shows how dumb the 73-9 argument is

Let’s say LBJ doesn’t join Mia in 2010

The heat would have another 20-25M to fill the roster. Most likely win 60+ games. Let’s say that Mia team loses in finals.

Then Bron joins summer 2011 after moving pieces around. The heat win in 2011 and 2012.

Is it really that big a difference?? So arguing about KD vs Bron’s move really seems to be whatever.

I didn’t like either move as an NBA fan
Nobody ever talks about where Lebron should have gone.

Everyone seems to agree that he did all he could in Cleveland.

Lebron and Rose would have been intriguing but ultimately Rose was very young & probably not ready to lead a championship team. Be real here.

Lebron and Carmelo would have been interesting but without much supporting talent.

If he went to the Lakers: superteam
If he went to the Spurs: superteam
If he went to the Mavs: superteam

Was he supposed to go to fukkin Phoenix? Or Portland who already had a young nucleus but wasn’t close to competing with LA?

Basically his only REAL option was Miami.

ESPN was pushing him going to the Knicks or nets so heavy up here :mjlol:. All the local stations callers were convinced he wanted to join either a team coming off a 70 loss season or one that hadn’t won a playoff game since Clinton was president. The only real options were the bulls or heat if winning was the goal, and given how :deadrose: happened and totally derailed his career, in hindsight the heat were the only good choice.
