Every team you mentioned were teams that were built by those organizations.

As far as Boston, those stars were aging.


No one was mad Bron left the Cavs. Its just the the alleged best player in the game ran to Miami and...yes...built a super team.

I know you need to shit on Wade to make your point, but there were legit questions if it was even Bron's team.

Bosh was no slouch. And that team was deep. And well coached (too bad Bron can't buy into a system, or he'd have a few more rings in Miami)


You can't compare the Heat to those teams you mentioned. For the right comparison, you have to do a hypothetical.

Like...say...MJ IN HIS PRIME going to Houston and bringing fucking Stockton with him or some shit.

Or Isiah IN HIS PRIME running to team up with Magic.

Etc.


It just isn't the same. Bron started this bullshit AAU era and now all that matters is rings. Just get a ring. No matter how you do it, get a ring. (and he had his eye on this for a while...that Dream Team 2 documentary has him salivating at the idea of teaming up with dudes rather than beating them)


Opened the door for KD to run to GS. Shit is corny, and your boy normalized it.


This where I also remind you of a few facts-


Even at that, the Heatles got upset by Dirk and the corpse of Jason Kidd, got their asses kicked by the Spurs, and were a few bad coaching decisions by Pop away from losing 3 of 4.


You also said somewhere in here that Bron is the most accomplished player of all time.


Not sure why you do that, but this is objectively not true. Like...math still maths. MJ, Kareem, Russel, Kobe, Duncan, Magic, etc all could argue otherwise. And an argument for Steph.


Shiit...look at what Duncan accomplished. With the same organization. With the same system. And no superstar help. And kicked your guy's ass a couple times.


Lebron is one of the greatest players ever...he doesn't need you inventing your own reality to win some agenda in your head.


And guess what? Bron is the best player of his era. But its a lot closer than you'll ever admit.
