LeBron has never been on a team that would make the playoffs without him.

The Heat barring injuries this year would make the playoffs no problem. Same goes for any of the previous Heat teams. The Cavs on the other hand are a different story.

People were saying that the heat team of wade, bosh, deng would be a top 3 seed in the east with a chance to make the finals were completely wrong. They were still very weak inside, and had no one to make up for it. And all that talk about injuries, but no one talks about how fortunate they were to pick up whiteside. Aside from the most optimistic D-wade fans, it's safe to say wade's health has exceeded expectations this year.

A healthy heat team of wade, bosh, deng would be an under .500 team, and that shows how underrated LeBron was on this team, especially in the playoffs.

Obviously, a team of wade, bosh, deng, dragic, and whiteside will be a much better team next year.

Heat got gutted by injuries..it is what it is.

[BlakFrankWhite]

Heat not making the PO's this year...would help LeBron's legacy.

His statue should be built outside the AA arena....not D-Fade's

[Joyner82reload]

Uh..if totally healthy, the Heat would not only make the playoffs but they would beat Cleveland in 6 games.

A lot of big ifs. Sounds like Kd and roses career

[Trollsmasher]

The Heat injuries only prove the load and pressure Lebron had to carry.

He got replaced by 4 people + Bosh and Wade sharing the load and most of these players are either crippled for season or looking like corpses on the court some 70 RS games in. And Lebron did it for 4 years while missing like 12 games in total.

Makes Lebron's endurance even more impressive

Not only that.... but in the East aswell....

Yea, but i mean its kindof true though, its not a to absurd statement, i believe only that team in 2010 when Wade/Bosh were healthy enough to play could make the playoffs without him (believe it or not, these injuries/missed games you see from Bosh/Wade today & the performances you see from them today is what/how Lebron lived with since especially their 2nd year together).... but thats in the East, in the West i dont think they would make it...

Lebrons impact shouldnt be a surprise.... just look at the immediate before/after results from teams he left and joined and then left & joined again....

They also said that Lebron was a cancer that was a net-negative on his team...

I am still trying to figure out how the Cavs go from winning 33 games to 50+, and the Heat goes from championship contenders to now out of the playoffs under the theory that Lebron makes his team worse...

There's not a chance in the world the 2012 or 2013 Heat miss the playoffs in the East

With Wade missing a ton of games both season, and with no rebounding and interior defense? Plus with Chalmers and Cole as the primary playmakers?
