    Default Would Lebron do better than Giannis with Bucks' roster?

    Lebron is as much a physical force and a much better shooter and passer than Giannis. Lebron also have much more championship experience. Do you think Lebron will do better with the Bucks' roster?

    Giannis is probably the best defender in the league.

    Bron is still great playing team defense, but he is so slow laterally. Really looked bad in certain matchups 1 on 1.

    His shooting and playmaking might open things up, but I don't think they get better. Worse defensively. Giannis is a good enough passer in his own right, and he sucks in more defense closer to the ring.

    Giannis is going to the finals. Even if he loses there, Lebron never achieved more without at least 2 superstars.

    Lebron, Mirotic and Lopez... Sounds like a defensive black hole.

    Why? Lebron never won a finals series without at least 2 superstars. Hell, he got swept without at least 2 superstars and even got swept WITH 2 superstars.

    LeBron is the closer that Giannas cannot dream to be at this point of his career. LeBron is also the better shooter, pass, scorer, point forward, leader. No doubt he would be the champ with this squad.

    Not commenting at all on LeBron's help in the past, but don't act like the bucks aren't stacked af.

    Giannis has a complete starting lineup of guys who would be legitimate 20ppg 2nd options.

    Yeah, i wrote 'Even if he loses there (finals), Lebron never achieved more without at least 2 superstars.'


    -> Lebron never achieved more than losing a finals series before he joined 2 top 5 players in the league. Still true.

    Giannis is LeBron with Westbrooks brain

    His game is so predictable and easy to stop if you have good defenders that can close off his drives

    This series would have been already over if LeBron replaced Giannis

    The only time LeBron has played with another superstar was with Wade in 2011-2012 and maybe Kyrie in 2016

    Bosh and Love don't classify as "superstars"

    Bosh the year before he joined Bron: 24/11/3 on 52% , 4th in PER (25.0)
    Love the year before he joined Bron: 26/13/4 on 46%, 3rd in PER (26.9)



    No stars


    Edit: Love was 3rd in win shares as well
