Closest to a 1 Man Army: '03 Magic, '06 Lakers, or '09 Heat?

[Wade's Rings]

Like some poster said earlier, it's between the 06 Lakers and 09 Heat. But how can you not give the edge to Kobe in 06? I mean, the last time anyone averaged 35+ ppg was MJ like 20 years before that, & even put up 81 points in one game compared to Wade's 30 ppg and season high of 55 pts. The Lakers even put up a better record (I think, I could be wrong).

The Lakers won 45 Games and the Heat won 43.

06 Lakers: 48-34 expected W-L, 2.53 SRS

09 Heat: 42-40 expected W-L, 0.49 SRS

The Lakers were noticeably stronger and they did it while playing in a much, much better conference.

Not even comparing them as players but looking at the whole picture I'd probably say Wade's 2009 Heat, tbh.

All-time for a superstar, without thinking all that much, I'd single out Pistol Pete's 1977 Jazz...
Extremely shitty supporting cast overall, with a very unproven coach who did nothing further on, in a really balanced conference/league.
They were 34-39 for the 73 games he played in and finished the season at 35-47 (1-8 without him), 8W's away from making the Playoffs.
Maravich scored 50+ points 4 times as New Orleans won all of those games, he scored 40+ points 13x as they went 10-3, and 30+ 39x as they went 25-14.
Dude scored 36.4 PPG on 34W's and 26.6 on 39L's.
Pistol was EASILY the scoring champion, all-nba 1st, 3rd in the MVP ballot (as voted by the players) without making the post-season, 12th in the league and his team's best in APG, top5 in RPG amongst guards... Doing WAY too much, even for a player who used to overdo it a whole lot.

lol... actually, this might be the answer.

but I think T-Mac's 03 was a special one that summarizes his career in many ways.. don't take it the wrong when I say: he's mostly a 1 dimensional scorer... and was so great as a 1 dimensional scorer he was able to take 80% of the 2004 champs (over ShaqKobe) to game 7 ..

Heat 2009. Wade was elite and by far the highest impact player on his team both offensively and defensively. Neither Tracy or Kobe can say that.

[FKAri]

Regular season, Kobe.
In the playoffs, TMac
Wade is also really close imo.

[T_L_P]

TMac was playing with literal garbage on the Magic

Kobe had Lamar Odom.

T-Mac's best teammate was Mike Miller.

Bron is the only one man army to lead his team to multiple Finals appearances.

09 Heat: 42-40 expected W-L, 0.49 SRS

Wtf is this garbage?

Lakers were 45-37 Heat were 43-39

If going by expected W-L, that means Kobe underachieved and Wade overachieved

[VIP2000]

Kobe had Lamar Odom.

T-Mac's best teammate was Mike Miller.

Mike Miller was actually traded halfway through the season for rookie Drew Gooden and rookie Gordon Giricek.

So his supporting cast in the playoffs consisted of:

Pat Garrity
Darrell Armstrong
Andrew DeClercq
Fat and washed up Shawn Kemp
Gordon Giricek
Drew Gooden
Jacque Vaughn
Pat Burke
Jeryl Sasser

Gotta go with TMac here.

This is the correct answer. Let's be honest, I bet most of you guys have never heard of most of them.

If you didn't know who the players were, which season at least statistically looks the best?

30.2 ppg, 7.5 apg, 5.0 spg, 2.2 spg, 1.3 bpg, .491% FG, .765% FT

32.1 ppg, 5.5 apg, 6.5 rpg, 1.7 spg, 0.8 bpg, .457% FG, .793% FT
