Nah. There's very little logic in that roster if that's your excuse, why have Lebron if he's not the ballhandler? Are we pretending Lebron's an off-the ball regular small forward here or something? Magic MJ Bird Duncan Dream Easily a better team.
Just because LBJ isn't the primary ball handler doesn't mean he is never the ball handler. His other skills and shooting from the corner makes him the quintessential 3&D super role player on a team of all time greats. In fact, in the Heat days when Bosh and Wade had the hot hands during whichever game, that was the role that LBJ slipped into until he was needed to carry the load. If memory serves, LBJ shot over 50% from the corner in that role!
You literally just argued for Stockton over Magic because of "fit" then cast Lebron in a role he's barely played in his career. How is that a better fit? You're really clutching at straws here, it's kinda sad.
LeBron barely played the 3&D role? Should watch old Heat games again. Him and Bosh playing those secondary roles were a big part of why their Big 3 was so effective.
Hey hey hey This thread is about absurd KPJ predictions, comparisons and contract extensions. With a dash of stat ignorance. Take your LBJ and best team debates elsewhere.
So you think part time playing a role in 4 years of an 18 year career means that's his typical role? Put down the crackpipe and stop reaching so hard already, it's getting embarrassing. Stockton over Magic is pure idiocy, Lebron and Magic are more comparable than Stockton and Magic, that's how ridiculous your take is.
I didn’t ever compare them. I just choose to pick one vs the other for team construction reasons. You act like I said Stockton was better than Magic, which is wrong. You act like LBJ wouldn’t be absolutely devastating as a roaming defensive wing that makes the smart hockey assists, feast on open 3 balls, and cut to the rim virtually unhindered. Oh yeah he actually was! Funny to see it getting you twisted though.
Nothing's getting me twisted, stop deluding yourself. It's been quite amusing watching you reach and clutch for any justification that picking Stockton over Magic is EVER justifiable (it's not.)
Replace Magic with LeBron. Much better team. Lebron is a superior version of Magic. Superior scorer, ball handler, shooter and just as good of a floor general.
Wasn't harden already playing pg duties when he was in college? I'm pretty sure harden isn't the best example of learnt court vision
