What happened to Kyrie Irving being the perfect sidekick for LeBron James?

LeBron doesn't trust Kyrie like he trusted Wade.

Wade use to feed LeBron easy baskets based on his ability to pass.

It could work. But Bron's gotta trust Kyrie and Kyrie gotta trust his ability to make the pass.


THIS!!!!

But what I don't understand is why he doesn't.

People gloss over how decent and only decent Wade was at the time. He made a difference only becuz opponents still considered him a threat but wasn't really. There were certain nights where he would show flashes of being Flash but then he would fizzle. Wade this year is probably better than any Wade we seen in those 4 yrs. LeBron probably shoulda won MVP every single year he was in Miami, except maybe that year KD was other worldly. But yeah... I'mma a hater of LeBron but if I'm being for real, it was crazy how much of the load he had to carry in Miami.


He doesn't have to do that now but he has this leadership shyt stuck in his head and he tries to overcompensate for it by doing too much and then will go out and do some stupid shyt on social media when the team loses. I don't see how people want to play with him so damn bad. You can't tell me that Kyrie and Love don't look at his antics and be like :snoop: .

Kyrie is too ball dominant and doesn't pass well enough. Lebron needs a point guard that is a good passer, efficient without the ball in his hands and can contribute some points too. Kyrie should be traded. It doesn't matter that he's better than Waiters; neither of the two scoring guards are what Lebron needs in Cleveland.

but see even in Miami, he didn't do it enough imo. for example...during I believe the 2014 ECF the heat would have on in the locker room random Heat playoff games from the previous couple years. Wade & LeBron were watching and there was a play where they did a pick and roll together and one asked the other why don't they run that anymore...the other just said "i don't know"

I'm reading that like :mindblown: uhhh...well...yall could easily fix that.

I do think LeBron is very Peyton Manning like...in the sense that he's so smart, he only trusts himself to always make the best/right play. which, I can understand...they are geniuses in their respective sports.




I think, if the Cavs get to the finals and face the Warriors Lebron should play "the 5" when they go their "death lineup" and guard Draymond. you could still keep Love on the floor...hide him on Barnes
LeBron/Manning comparison is a good one.

Sometimes their biggest strength is their biggest weakness. LeBron overthinks not because he wants to make the right play, but because he wants to make the perfect play.

I still to this day don't understand why they didn't do pick and rolls in that Mavs series :yeshrug:

I still put that a bit on Spo. As far as in Miami LeBron should have accepted that Malone type screener role now that I think about it. :patrice:

I have no problem with your post :manny:

Maybe he just doesn't see those winning habits in practice or preparation from Kyrie, etc so on the court he disregards them.

You also gotta factor in he's taking upon more leadership as well. He had Wade and Riley to fall back on. Even if Wade wasn't himself he knew he could always count on Wade. He saw a peer or a big brother.
