To me it's ridiculous to try and compare two completely different types of players in a scenario like this.

There's very little commonality shared between LeBron and Steph's game other than their will to be great. It's inherently easier for LeBron to continue to win without help because he's a bigger body and more versatile. Doesn't make him a better player. Just makes him different.

That answers the question to the best of my ability.

Fair point. But still, they are the alphas of their team, and being able to win without others around them's help is a fair discussion.

Well, I think it does. Versatility shouldn't be treated so flippantly. To me it's ridiculous to be so dismissive of such a clearly valuable trait in contributing to team success. It is a significant advantage and is why his team's have always won, no matter who was on the roster.
