These factors are in play every second he's on he court, and James played around 40 minutes when he was in Cleveland, and missed at most only 5 games a season. Also LeBron was playing de facto point guard in Cleveland (as he does now).
Also, Cleveland suffered the worst drop in wins in NBA HISTORY when James left. They didn't drop 1 or 2 spots when he left, they went from LEADING THE EASTERN CONFERENCE in wins, to LAST PLACE. It doesn't get any more clear cut than this: LeBron James. Made his Cleveland team. Good. It was him. And only him. That made them good.

ll this is some of the most incredible sports ignorance i think anyone could ever see
i almost want to frame this moment so that people will believe me when i tell them someone is arguing LeBron had a good team. He had a team set up nicely for him because they were solid enough shooters when open, but with no mega superstar guiding them they were one of the worst teams to ever step on a basketball court which makes it pretty undeniable that they were not great NBA players.
