When's AD ever played with a Wade or an Irving? This Laker team is the first time Bron's ever won a title without multiple All-NBA-winning players behind him on the roster. Does Bron ever win a title as The Guy if his supporting players never get better than an injured Demarcus Cousins and Jrue Holiday?

I think it's really easy to say *any* of these top players who haven't won a title can't "be the guy" if they've never had the help that guys like Bron and Durant have had. That's not even to take anything away from Bron or Durant! You still have to deliver, and they have. But guys like AD, Giannis, Dame, even Luka... it's waaaaay easier to envision them being The Guy on a winning roster once they have multiple All-NBA guys with them. Because the best players in the world still need help to get over that hump and win that title.
