This response shows your lack of understanding of the game of basketball. You took his comment at face value and sensationalized it about superstars when in all actuality he is correct. Lebron does stagnate his teammates and stops the ball 75% of time for no plausible reason. This is the reason Kyrie left. As a Cleveland’s I’ve watched every game he has played for 11 seasons of his career and most of the ones while he was with the Heat. While GREAT and brilliantly intelligent, Lebron demands a certain playing style that exclusively revolves around him being the sole distributor. Even you notice, the Cavs run thru the East Conference despite this playing style and almost lost to the Celtics until Tyrone Lue begged Lebron to allow George Hill to actual play his position of point guard. When he did the Cavs’ offense opened up and they won the series after struggling mightily. Basketball isn’t trading Yu-Gi-Oh cards and Dragonball Z duels, despite what ESPN will sensationalize. It’s not entirely about who has who so they gonna win. Golden State has the best playing style, their players have fully committed to it, so they’ve gotten better due to it and now they win.
Kobe explained this perfectly in this video:
this sums it all up. With all the fire power and corner 3 point shooters waiting for Lebron’s passes, we still needed a buzzer beater 3 pointer by Kyrie to beat the Warriors without Kevin Durant. When Lebron is on your team, it’s not entirely about firepower, it’s more about whether he’ll submit to a democratic style of play.
