When he moved to Miami, he instantly made the Finals the first year and has WON the Finals every year since after only making the Finals once with his ****ty Cavaliers teammates which is a testament to how great LeBron was that year.

You are literally the only person that has ever tried to argue this, you're being unbelievably immature by trying to pull this bull****. Everyone that knows a god damn thing about basketball knows that LeBron's supporting cast was ****, end of story. Keep going on being a five year old to prove a point just because you hate LeBron and be a ****ing man and admit you're wrong. Jesus christ. Google the **** and read what professionals say for **** sake.

Damn dude, I didn't realize it was that important to you. I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but your argument simply isn't rational. No one's denying Lebron's impact on his teammates or anything like that, but you want this to be about how Lebron carried the team and all of this nonsense. He didn't carry his team, he was the centerpiece of several good teams, and my argument supports that. Your argument supports a series of irrational ideals that you probably got from ESPN pundits who dramatize everything to create an illusion that suckers like you will buy into.

I've stated facts, you've given me I think 3 facts: Jameson's age at the time he played for the Cavs, and Mo Williams being a reserve for Portland, and that the Cavs won 19 games after Lebron left. How those are actually relevant, I have no idea.

The fact that you can't see how that's relevant leads me to believe that you are the biggest, most imbecilic hater that has maybe ever existed and I have no desire to ever associate myself with you.

The Bulls without Derrick Rose are still a playoff team This has been proven two seasons in a row now. The Cavaliers without LeBron won 19 games. You are literally lying if you cannot see that there is a massive difference there and that it shows how bad LeBron's teammates were.

Oh, that just makes me sad all over.

The Bulls also have multiple star players. What, are you saying Derrick Rose isn't a difference maker, or that he isn't as big a difference maker as Lebron? How did Derrick Rose get into this again? And still with the 19 wins thing, huh?

Man, you're just all over the place to try and win this debate. Fine. I concede. You win, enjoy your moral victory.

I've only said it multiple times. ****, did I have to say it one more time for you to actually read it?

The man chokes every time in finals and he doesn't know how to close. Thank goodness for that supporting class because he would just fall apart.

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.

I almost want to screenshot every one of your arguments and use it for an example on the Wikipedia page on logical fallacies.
