This narrative needs to stop.
Hate LeBron for leaving his "hometown" and stabbing fans in the back even though he's from Akron and what does he owe the fans, but whatever.
Hate LeBron for nationally televising him announcing that he is shytting on Cleveland ok whatever.
But hate him and hold it against him for going to Miami to get the help that his front office had 7 years to find to me is just asinine. The best teammates he had over this stretch were Carlos Boozer, Mo Williams, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, and a Beyond flabby and sick Shaq. None of these paired with LeBron james by himself are gonna win championships.
I bet half you nikkas can't even name 5 nikkas off that 07 finals squad that aren't named LeBron or Big Z.
But the biggest thing y'all seem to forget that it takes a TEAM and a decent coach to win a championship. If you go down and look at the rosters for every championship team, you'll probably find 2 or 3 all time great players on each roster with a couple exceptions. Here's a list to make it easier for you
I'm sorry LeBron didn't get drafted into a great organization like other superstars did that will surround their star with talent needed to win. This is the same Clevenland Cavaliers team you guys regularly shyt on as being one of the worst franchises in NBA history that you expected LeBron to bring home championships to.
