Lets Play a Game..Replace Said Player With Lebron James...What Happens?
Lebrons main issue over the years is he has never had a stable long term nucleus surrounding him...7 years in Cleveland playing with role players...He got his Pippen in Wade but that lasted a year a half..before Wade's knees gave out..Bosh is a 4 pretending to be a 5...Kyrie is hurt...and so is Love...Lebron still after 12 years in the league does not have a stable long term team with a proven head coach...
I wanna play a game..lets put Lebron in various stages of his career on one of those kinds of teams..and imagine what the results would be...
