It’s LeBron’s fault Clarkson was trash in games that actually mattered?

different players different system
the spacing in GSW is ridiculous and their offense is fluid af
plus those 3 are prob 3 of the top 5 shooters of all time lol well klay and steph top 5 kd top 10
im sure if kd was with bron and they had a 3rd shooter ala klay it wouldnt be so bad

What young players develop on contending teams?

Why can’t you just be nice? The first part wasn’t needed

Lebron and curry don’t even play the same though

Again, proving what he's saying.
Someone doesn't need to take a back seat to win. Players do it in the Bron systems because is Bron and it's the norm. He doesn't know how to play any other way.

Tatum
Kyrie
It usually doesn’t happen which is why arguing that Lebron doesn’t help guys get better is pointless

What does he need to play different for? His play style leads to winning basketball

my point exactly, thank you.
the Warriors are a perfect example. Steph and KD take the majority of shots, but you still see each player trying to get guys like Cook and Bell involved consistently. you can't just say "oh Bron played with bums". who the hell heard of Quinn Cook, Jordan Bell, and Dahntay Jones? i'm only picking players of recent, and that's why i brought up Clarkson and Nance.
IMO, it's better to grow talent, than bring in guys like James Jones and Mike Miller. that way, these young guys can grow WITH Bron, instead of wearing their warm ups for all 48 min.

its short sighted though. yeah, Bron helps the team win blah blah. we know that already, but every team he leaves ends up being absolute trash because he left nothing behind. there is not youth development in ANY team that he's on.

Almost every championship contending team is trash after they blow their team up or star players leave

2011-12 Miami Heat. LeBron's first championship.
Lebron averaged 27
Wade averaged 22
Bosh averaged 18
Y'all have to stop being intellectually dishonest.

Bosh and Love averaged 16-20ish a game with 9+ boards a game as well. Nevermind Klay is a combination of the perfect 3rd option within the perfect situation. You can't even compare the situations really.

kd and steph both being able to avg 30 is more a testament of their skills and how they compliment each other.. plus having a third option that at any given moment can literally go off for 61 pts in 3 qtrs with only 12 dribbles helps immensely.. but okay lets make Klay the same as love and bosh lol

What winning team has a largely youthful team? Most winning teams aren’t comprised of mostly young players

nah how bout 235 mil fa AD in da crescent

If his choice was for basketball reason Philly was the obvious choice but thats neither here nor there
I'm open to it. I know it would work. Simmons/Butler/AD works better than Simmons/Butler/Embiid. Ben's lack of spacing wouldnt affect AD as much as Embiid likes to work down low. Ben still gotta learn how to shoot smh

AD in nawlins is appreciated only because of Freddy fig in here. A true nt legend.

If you have the best basketball player on Earth, your team's goal SHOULD BE to win the championship. The team is going to construct a team around the best player that gives them the best chance to win. MOST OF THE TIME, young players don't really contribute to winning, which is why the ideal Bron teams are usually very veteran-heavy. The list of players that were named are average NBA players at best, and the best young player he was with was exempt from the argument for some reason. Kyrie has admitted that playing with LeBron made him a better player.
This current Lakers team is really the first time LeBron has been surrounded by multiple young players that are actually thought of to be good. Kuzma and Ball certainly haven't "suffered" from Bron. Ingram is having a tough time because he needs the ball in his hands to be successful and he has a homeless man's version of Bron's skillset. If Bron were to theoretically adapt more to Ingram's skillset and just play as a complementary piece to Ingram, the team would suffer, and you'd have folks like @MVP crying about how Bron isn't being assertive enough.
