And Michael Jordan's factors were also on the court, the exact same factors, except he was much more overpowering offensively, and every bit as good a passer or shooter as Lebron. No one says Lebron isn't great, I think he's going to retire as one of the all time greatest players, he just isn't on the same level as Michael Jordan. He doesn't have the stats or accolades, and those are tangible things. They're facts.

Hey man, I like you, and I'ma let you finish, but I wasn't talking about MJ vs. LeBron. I was talking about how
LeBron's team in Cleveland was terrible. You can't deny that. None of them were capable of carrying the team without him.
I used the assists stat to show that he was critical to his team's success.
I used the fact that he played nearly every game of the season to show that he had an effect on indeed,
nearly every game of the season.
Also my entire point of this conversation is saying that LeBron James made the correct choice in leaving Cleveland, and I don't even think it had anything to do with the team: it was how the coaching staff was using LeBron James himself that doomed any chance the Cavs had to be competitive.
You know what, new topic: All Star starters
Wow Stephen Curry made it as a starter. Good for him.
