Biggest Myth In Sports:Lebron James Makes His Teammates Better

[aboss4real24]

im a big lebron fan, but this is true

in reality, you need a TEAM to win championships

no one guy wins by himself / single-handedly makes his teams better

magic is probably the closest in doing so

Well if you think about it...

Shaq had his best years with Kobe
Pau Gasol's efficiency and productivity skyrocketed as soon as he got to LA
Lamar Odom won 6MOY with Kobe



Heck, even Smush Parker looked like an NBA caliber player with Kobe.

The only NBA-caliber players who legitimately improved their level of play after leaving Kobe were Dwight, Ariza and Jordan Farmar. And Dwight was injured in LA as well while Jordan and Trevor were just young and undeveloped. However John Wall seriously is a perfect fit for ariza.

This doesn't really make sense. A players stats will naturally decrease if you put them with someone as dominant as Lebron. Hell, if Lebron were playing with MJ, Lebron's stats would go down. It doesn't mean those players didn't get better. Logically they should have better stats when they are the #1 option, not when playing alongside a #1 option.

He gets spot up shooters more open looks. I don't think he makes individuals better individually but he makes the team better as a whole in most cases.

Lebron is a better Magic than Magic himself so....

lebron is, but that's because his defense is worlds better and his ISO scoring is a notch above.

better passer/facilitator and conductor of an offense? not a chance.

magic is the GOAT teammate

Sorry but Lebron is right next to Magic as the GOAT team player.

i love lebron as much as the next fan, but not a chance

magic stayed on one team, never had chemistry issues, and is the most unselfish superstar in history.

good thing they let go of enough "productions" per game so Kyrie won't be fighting shots with Deng/Hawes/Bynum/Jack

You think Magic wouldn't have left if he hadn't had Kareem + those supporting cast?

[mehyaM24]

dude, he didn't have kareem the last 3 years of his career- 4 if you include 1996.

hell he won a mvp/took his team to the finals without kareem

lebron is a better player, no doubt. a better teammate? absolutely not.

Because it's nonsense. You list off mostly people who were washed up or never that good to begin with. You also list people that obviously had lower stats, because they were the focal point of their prior team, so of course their stats went down. Bosh didn't win shit in Toronto, who cares what his stats were. Shaq was about to retire, etc.
