good question
The Cavs had MRIs and X-Rays done on the elbow which didnt come back with any structural damage at all
There was no injury
Just cause there's no significant damage it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.The Cavs had MRIs and X-Rays done on the elbow which didnt come back with any structural damage at all

Your knee can be hurting but that doesn't mean you need surgery.

It depends on whether he accepted what Cleveland gave him to work with and make himself better or kept doing what he been doing (which wasn't bad).
There's like a 1% possibility he would've been a better player.
I don't think at this point he would still be playing the same.
He put up 29/9/8 50%/ 33%
I think he would play post more even though he didn't do it Miami because if you remember lebron put on weight and during the season you took way more jumpshots than he did all of his career, and people were starting to questioned lebron athleticism was declining . He wouldn't be a better player than he is now.

A large part of the reason why he's better is because he's been to THREE straight finals. If he was still in Cleveland he wouldn't have gotten over that mental hurdle of not winning a ring.
Not that big of a reach to say that the Cavs couldn't ahve made another run. East has been weak the last few years imagine if LeBron stayed Wade went to Chicago and Bosh stayed. East would prob be open.

Wade wouldn't have even won the MVP if LeBron just beasted those last few games and the Heat won the title. The problem with that Wade MVP theory is that it's not as though James couldn't have simply performed at another level and still ended up winning that FMVP.No troll face breh....that's a WIDE theory that a lot of people have, myself included.
If he would've won that first title with Wade as the Finals MVP, it would soldify he joined "Wade's Team" and was carried by "Wade" to his 1st title. He would forever labeled a sidekick until he won without him
He knew that shyt and threw the series like he did against the Celtics his final season in Cleveland.
"My elbow is injured"
And do you really think LeBron would have taken the shytstorm he got from not showing up in the Finals over being considered the second option on a title team?
Yes, because he could always get back to the Finals and become the FMVP. If Wade would have won the FMVP, LeBron would've been officially considered a sidekick. You dont remember people saying that the Heat were Wade's team their entire 1st year together?
Off the top of my head, I remember Barkley having an interview talking about that back then.
