Why doesn't Lebron get criticism for forming Superteams?

[JohnMax]

He got no criticism for forming a superteam in Cleveland which makes me think outrage was more about him leaving than actually forming a superteam.

[RRR3]

Why are you criticizing LeBron for things he literally hasn

[3ball]

He teamed up with 2 other stars twice and then has the temerity to brag about championships and compare himself to Jordan...

Lebron's spot-up shooter format doesn't develop teammates or teams, so he must team-hop for ready-made stars and still only goes 3/9 (0/9 without collusions or bailout shots)..

it's a shit brand of ball that struggles on the championship level regardless of cast or opponent

[LostCause]

Most folks live in the moment

He got tons of shit for it in 2011. I'm sure y'all remember. That narrative didn't change until 2015. He could've got shit for it in 2015 as well but the Coming Home narrative was far greater and Kyrie wasn't exactly a household name at the time

Now you have Durant and Golden State, who raised the bar and whose dominance makes everyone else instant underdogs so people naturally want to see them beaten, even if it's by another superteam

[StrongLurk]

OP, I'm sure you criticized Lebron.

[FKAri]

OP is the worst poster on this board. This is not hyperbole. I am very consistent about this. OP is also very likely a machine learning bot.

Not every player gets the benefit of having a Scottie Pippen, Shaq, David Robinson/Tony Parker, the list goes on, early in their career. Some guys had Shaq, Pippen, Parker/Ginobli, and some guys were stuck with Drew Gooden and Mo Williams. Such is life.

I also don't know what you mean by "why isn't he criticized" when you're criticizing him for leaving Cleveland. Do you think he should have stayed in Cleveland in 2011? Do you honestly think he should have?

it wasn't some juggernaut that lebron needed to beat - it was Dwight Howard and an old, 50-win celtics team

So he definitely should've stayed - he had 60-win 1 seeds and he only needed 28/8/7 to achieve that

they win easily by adding 1 more piece.... Or implementing a system so the brand of ball is sufficient to beat Dwight Howard, or lebron not quitting like he did in 10'

As for his casts - he had a young Kyrie in 2015-2017 and lost with young Wade in 2011.. and he still had young Bosh in 2014... The only excuse is that lebron simply isn't as good (as MJ and other greats)

We will never know who was greater because Jordan always played on a good team. Unless you want to bring up when his team was bad and he went 1-9 but as soon as he had a good second option like Scottie Pippen he started winning. We have to understand that not every player is gifted the same roster talent when they come into the league.

Kobe Bryant had an absolute gift in the form of Shaquille O'Neal.

Michael Jordan had an absolute gift in the form of Scottie Pippen.

Tim Duncan had an absolute gift in the form of David Robinson and then Tony Parker/Manu Ginobli.

LeBron had no gift. We can argue back and forth all day long about who is a better player and I'm sure neither of us will change our mind but the fact remains, he never had any type of roster talent compared to any of the aforementioned greats until he left Cleveland. Can you agree with that?

Wade > Pippen

Kyrie is too, or close enough

And Bosh and Love destroy mj's third options

So lebron had better casts



And MJ led a 6 seed to within 2 wins of the 89' Finals, including 2 upset wins in the first 2 rounds - [COLOR="Navy"]lebron never led a low seed deep into the playoffs, or had multiple upset series wins[/COLOR]... .. so ur wrong on all counts

[Duncan21formvp]

He does, it is why it was the only way for him to win. Won bronze medals twice, and needed multiple allstars to even win and even that was always down at least 3-2 in a series even 5 years in a row with HCA.

Nah, '96 Rodman >>> Bosh or Love as 3rd best player
