But I look at LBJ's early career and failures and compare it to Magic


I also tend to look at supporting cast. Magic joined a team whose best player was the GOAT center Kareem. Lebron joined a team whose best player was freaking Zydronas Ilgauskas.

Exactly. LBJ took a shite coach and team to the finals.

That's a fair point.

Kareem is the GOAT college basketball player of all-time and a giant in the NBA (Top 10).

But by the time the Lakers really got going - in mid 80's - Cap was really old and struggling.

I remember how Magic always used to have deference to him - "we can't win this without Cap dominating" - it was mind games...trying to get Kareem back into it and raise his game. Magic really kept Kareem in the game. Magic was so smart - he knew how to push people's buttons.
