i didnt go back past 1975 but it doesnt matter. 2 players in the entirety of the modern era of the NBA have managed to win a title as a team's best player, and Lillard is matched up against one right now. those two players are 2 of the GOAT 3 point guards (the third is 6'9 incidentally)

im not really a fan of making blanket statements because of a matchup vs an all timer. Not to mention that CJ and Dame dont have nearly the same defensive cavalry that the Ws and Bad Boys did.

same goes for Kyrie. NO little dudes lead guys to chips, so why should we expect it to be different for them?
