Everyone who defends lebrons lack of NBA titles always brings up the fact that "he has no help" and he "carries his entire team".

Why has this been the case for 10 years in Cleveland? (2003-2010 and 2014-2018)

Why would he come back to Cleveland if he felt the management was poor?
Why would no one crawl to Cleveland to play with the greatest player in history?

Going back to Cleveland wasn’t an awful decision

It gave him 1 more title, and without the warriors putting togehter what is considered the greatest team ever by many, he would have won 2-3 more titles in Cleveland

Cleveland had a pretty good GM until recently and a pretty decent team until the end of last season. What Lebron has lacked is a great coach or even a very good coach.

Kobe had Jackson, but the Lakers also were build by a great owner or more importantly by Jerry West. After Shaq left, Jerry West working for the Grizzlies, gift wrapped Gasol to the Lakers, much like McHale gift wrapped Garnett to Boston.

In Miami, Lebron had Riley as a GM, and Riley is probably the greatest in last 50 years. I could go on and on, but haters gonna hate, right?

No really.

I believe his teammates are actually really good. He just does not make them better.

West quit the Grizzlies ( with back to back 20 win seasons) before Gasol trade. A trade that actually was a decent trade for the Grizzlies.

I assume you think Michael Jordan was good. How many big time FA's came crawling to the Bulls?

Also, saying people don't like playing with him discounts people like Ilgauskas, Mike Miller, etc. who followed him team to team.

LeBron's first tenure, he made them good enough they didn't have lottery picks for long. Guys like Dajuan Wagner, Darius Miles and Larry Hughes had injuries and flamed out.

His second tenure, he had more talent, but the Warriors are a dominant, exceptionally talented team.

It's hard to bring in talent without higher picks, and LeBron is good enough that his presence alone means no lottery.

Incompetent management who gave him Mo Williams as the best player he played with in 7 seasons.

Golden State Warriors, the greatest team ever assembled.

That's it.

In 2015, playing with Kyrie and Love was much more desirable than playing with Wade and Bosh. This team disintegrated with the quickness when Kyrie wanted out and Isaiah Thomas turned out to be a 5'9 cancerous tumor

FWIW, Mo Williams made an all star team playing with LeBron.
