Enough! — LeBron has played with more talent than any other superstar in NBA history.
The talent pool is so deep and ridiculous, that I decided to make a depth chart out of all of the great players he rode on the coattails of. Here we go…….
Roster - PPG. (year before playing with LeBron)
Starters:
PG Luka Doncic- 33.9
SG D’Wyane Wade- 26.6
SF Jaylen Brown- 28.7
PF Kevin Love 26.1
C Anthony Davis 25.9
Bench:
PG Kyrie Irving 20.8
SG Tyrese Maxey- 28.3
SF Antawn Jamison 22.2
PF Chris Bosh- 24.0
C Joel Embiid- 26.9
Non rotation:
PG Isaiah Thomas 28.9
SG Russell Westbrook 22.2
PG Derrick Rose 18.0
C Shaquille O’Neal 17.8
C Dwight Howard 16.6
The rest- Austin Reaves (NCAA), Mo Williams (NCAA), Ray Allen, Carmelo Anthony, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo, Ben Wallace, Carlos Boozer, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Andre Drummond, D’Angelo Russell, Rashard Lewis, Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle, Ben Wallace, etc. (I could go on, but you get the picture)
Then they have the audacity to mention some Scottie Pippen! I don’t want to ever hear this man’s name in the same breath with Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, or any Top 5 player.
When you have played with this supporting cast, 3.5 rings and a losing record in the NBA Finals ain’t cutting it.
It’s over.
Charles Barkley on LeBron joining the 76ers:
“He stacked his team in Miami, he stacked it in Cleveland, he stacked it in LA, now hes stacking it in Philly… He’s always stacked his team.”
(h/t @TheTruth8240)
All Lebron has done his whole career is cheat the game of basketball, guy has no integrity
All he does is create teams and play with stars and still has only 4 rings, less than Kobe and Jordan and it’s year 24
Weak mentality!!!! Weak… soft
Lakers paid $347,429,454 for 1 title in 8 years.
Thats the single worst return on a superstar investment in franchise history over a window of 8 years
That doesn’t include all the contracts they took on to meet his system demands that’s still didn’t materialize into multiple titles.
Failed Laker
"LeBrOn JaMeS wOuLd WiN against MiChaEL JoRdAn or KoBe BrYaNt 1v 1"- Bron fan boys
We still have the tapes Klutch tried to wipe off the internet. Bagless Bron getting CLAMPED up by Kobe on team USA, this is why Bron stopped playing 1 on 1 and said it’s “not real basketball” 🤣🤣
“Kobe’s 81 point game, he was stat padding too” -Clueless Gen Z fans
I won’t let y’all tarnish Kobe’s legacy and try to REWRITE history. I went back and watched Kobe’s 81 point game.
It was a competitive comeback. The Lakers were down the WHOLE game and ONLY took the lead with barely any time left in the 3rd. The Raptors even cut it to 9 with 5 minutes left in the 4th! they needed every point of Kobe’s to win that game.
Compare that to Bam’s 83 point game: it was a blowout for nearly the ENTIRE second half. Then, to add insult to injury, they fouled the Wizards at the end to extend time for Bam to stat pad. If they tried that with Kobe, he’d have reached 100! But Kobe would never allow such a cheap game plan. Shame on Spoelstra for okaying that ✌️
Friendly reminder: Kobe had 62 points against the Mavs in 3 quarters. Phil asked Kobe if he wanted to go back in to stat pad to chase 70 points and Kobe responded:
“Nah, I’ll get it another time when we really need it.” 🔥
Today guys have no shame 🤦🏻♂️
Kobe Bryant 1999 - 2002
24.4 PTS

3x Champion
4x All NBA

3x All Star
