    Lol, they had like a 8-9 start before they "figured" everything out. They got by 2011 off talent alone, you're right in the sense that they didn't play Lebron ball since it was just Wade and LeBron taking turns.

    Shit worked until the finals. Wade exploded against the Celtics, while LeBron beasted against the Bulls. Mavs exposed this and figured they were just gonna let Wade get his while they didn't their best locking up LeBron. Which ended the Heat's "taking turns" philosophy.

    2012 came LeBron ball, and we know what happened next.

    Because it only works on a championship level when you have multiple all stars & a plethora of shooters

    Most players have a hard time getting into their rhythm during a game under Lebron ball. That's why you must have multiple all stars

    because they don't need to "stay in rhythm" offensively to be effective as they can pick their own spots throughout the game.

    ironically enough, people wouldnt be trashing lebron if the cavs had started the season better, or if they had won last night, and they lost last night with lebron coasting and deferring a ton, instead of dominating the ball, like people accuse him of doing.

    there was an inbounds play with 2 seconds left, where, bizarrely he screened to get tristan thompson open for a jumper instead of looking for his own shot.

    he missed a few bunnies at the rim in the first quarter, and he was really passive from that point onwards.

    What makes you say that? Where's the proof in this?

    Is this the case with Kobe as well?

    And if Lebron had handled the sacrifice in that series, and played like a good little second option, the Heat would have won.

    But Lebron doesn’t play like that. You MUST subordinate to HIM, or he will shut down completely.

    It's legacy blackmail.

    Exactly. He isn't an adaptable player, he'd rather force everyone else on the team to change then he change.

    And he asks his teammates to stop being selfish
