The Lebron Effect :wow: this pic says it all

That 2010 Cavs team wasn't half bad. Varejao, Ilgauskas, Gibson, and Delonte coming off the bench? Prime Wade could've possibly taken that team to the Finals. Iono if he'd won the ship, but he could've definitely torched those Celtics(he did it in the 1st round playing alongside scrubs) and gotten to the Finals.

2010 Cavs had JJ Hickson as well.

Fact is historically there hasn't been a player that has consistently this amount of impact on a franchise. Not even MJ's bulls who won 55 games without him & were a couple of bad calls away from an ECF date with the Pacers.

THE 94 bulls had a 3time championship core, (top 3 coach at that time ever) added the best euro prospect since Drazen and added longley and kerr. They were still a good team and they went into the season with a lot to prove with people saying they would suck without MJ. Scottie was in his prime and finished top 3 in MVP voting.

Had 2015 heat been healthy with their additions, i see no reason why they wouldn't of won 50+ games and advanced to the second round atleast as well.

Mozgov, JR, and Shumpert are a big part of that too.

Cavs were going nowhere before those trades.

i'll say this one last time. the cavs were just another hyped Losing eastern conf team before JR, Mozgoz and Shump came thru to save the day. Give them dudes their respect. stop with this lebron makes everyone better jibberish. he didnt make love and kyrie better and the rest of that cavs team after Varejao went down. the cavs pretty much sucked. until..... The cavalry came thru. sorry LBJ lovers this time bron didnt do it. it was the role players that saved his a....

 

[rapbeats]

But when da team loses, y'all put all da blame on him.

You want it one way...

no i wont. the team is half hurt. so it is what it is. but they are also going up against a team without a legit center that can play 35 mins a night. so anything can happen.

It's truly amazing how any narrative other than giving Bron his props will do .

:looks forward to in depth discussion of how the teammates didn't get it done, should the Cavs lose:

An (in the words of LBJ detractors) "all-time stacked" team that made 4 finals in a row & added Deng, Whiteside and Dragic shouldn't be missing the playoffs in the fukking East.

They don't hear you though

2010 Cavs:

C Shaquille O'Neal
PF Antawn Jamison
SF LeBron James
SG Anthony Parker
PG Mo Williams

Bench: Delonte West, Anderson Varejao, Jamario Moon, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Daniel Gibson, Leon Powe, and Jawad Williams

C JJ Hickson
PF Antawn Jamison
SF Alonzo Gee
SG Anthony Parker
PG Ramon Sessions

Not the same team at all. Only 5 players remained from the previous season.

Had the other players remained, how many wins do you think that team gets? Do you follow basketball at all?

He'll never get his credit when it's all said and done so it's whatever

What kind of question is this?

KEVIN LOVE+KYRIE IRVING MAKE THE PLAYOFFS IN THE EAST


DWYANE WADE+CHRIS BOSH WAS A PLAYOFF TEAM IN THE EAST BEFORE BOSH MISSED THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON


STOP OVER-EXAGGERATING TO GET ANOTHER RIDE ON LEBRONS SMALL DICC

 

[Sccit]

you know damn well they're not going to the finals without Lebron

IF A HEALTHY PAUL GEORGE WAS ON A CAV TEAM WITH IRVING+LOVE, YES, THEY ARE GOING TO THE FINALS.......BUT LETS GIVE ALL THE CREDIT TO LEBRON FOR CHOSING TO SIGN WITH ANOTHER ALL-STAR SUPPORTING CAST.

[Maluma]

Don't talk to me about the regular season which is meaningless and the bulk of Lebron's accomplishments. I only want to hear what happened in the playoffs
