    No he didn't. LeBron led both teams in every statistical category and was his teams primary defender. You will struggle to name anyone in league history that had a more impactful Finals than LeBron. He literally led everyone in everything.

    Kyrie Irving did not have an equally great finals. LeBron would not have won without Kyrie, or Allen or Dwade/Bosh but that is not the point. Everyone that has ever won a title has had help, you literally CANNOT win with yourself and 4 scrubs. Its not possible. Its always been a knock on his legacy, and I have no idea why.

    Yes he did. Kyrie averages 27.1 ppg in the Finals.

    But you're right, he led everybody in everything. And might be the most impactful Finals of all time, although there are a lot of them.

    Sure, in this case yes.
    Just like every year before would try to improve their team to beat the previous years champions.
    Just like Lebron did in Miami to gang up against the West, lol. Then once again to Cleveland to gang up against the Spurs again.

    Nothing new

    You've got to have a better reason than "too much nut hugging," otherwise, you'd have to accept people saying the very same thing about Popovich.

    Aside from The Decision, there is nothing to dislike about Lebron as a player. Whereas Pops actually was a tyrant, ******* Coach prior to Duncan allowing him to be successful doing his Bobby Knight style management of players.

    First of all, Boston started this trend. Secondly, if you think jumping from Wade/Bosh to Wiggins/Kyrie was a good idea, then you're delusional. Everyone would rather have a veteran Wade/Bosh combo than an unproven Wiggins/Kyrie combo. To date, Wiggins is nothing more than a DeRozan clone, and Kyrie hasn't shown the ability to do anything with the Cavs, by himself.

    Boston did not start this. The players conspired to join each other in Miami via free agency. Boston traded for those players.

    Wade and bosh at their salaries come on are you crazy? Plus I think LeBron knew both of them had serious injury concerns and they do. i'm sure some of it had to do with his "Legacy". But the fact remains Cleveland had four or five first picks and Kyrie Irving and the rumors to get Kevin love. I think it's a no-brainer in terms of which franchise had a brighter future. And it turns out it is Cleveland.
