Either Andy was always this good and LeBron had more help than people like to admit, or LeBron held Varajao back.
You got it.
Here are the following people (including Cavs fans who I guess we can trust?) who said the same thing.

Lebron failed to recognize and capitolize on the effective P&R game Varajao has. Varajao + Kyrie on the P&R has been awesome, and Varajao was not utilized this way in the Lebron era despite Lebron's reputation as some genius playmaker. Kyrie has breathed new life into Varajao as an offensive tool - he exploited an ability he had that Lebron never recognized.

He's always been a solid player with limited minutes during those LeBron years. His stats look a lot better now because of more minutes and more FGA.
So when, not if, when Varejao gets his all-star this year.. we can conclude that Lebron has always had all-star talent on his team, in fact one of the greatest help you can have on your team is a rebounding star since he does not need the ball to be effective.

Re: Does Lebron really make his teammates better? Varejao?
Varejao was great with LeBron. He probably should've been the 6th man of the year in 2010.

So after Verajao, the next victim is Bosh.
Look at the type of game this guy has without Lebron hogging the ball every single possession, turning him into a spot-up shooter.
Does lebron make his teammates better, really?

You are a dumb troll that is ruining this forum. Bosh is a 3rd option and takes on average 4 shots less than he did when he was with Toronto. How the hell don't you understand that? Do you think Bosh is going to average the same amount of shots in Miami as he did in Toronto? How many FG's per game do you think there is?

It's not just stats.. his whole game is hidden. Hence this thread stands, when you play with Lebron, you have to sacrifice a huge part of your game, because he handles the ball so much.
Bosh is basically a spot-up shooter, when he can beast like tonight.

Bosh is not basically a spot up shooter. Stop talking outta your ass.
Also, I love Bosh but why would Miami give him more responsibility right now when they are killing the league with the lead of Lebron? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
