Lebron has not won even one title without at least two all star teammates. Fact.

can’t be my GOAT if you gotta make a super team to win a title. I don’t have nothing against lebron of his name was Kevin or James we would evaluate him the same way.

we have established that a super team means three all stars, correct? we should probably check what the 2016 all star teams looked like

Harden has not played on a super team. Lebron didn’t win ANY titles without a super team. And Lebron has also not won titles WITH a super team. Unless harden makes a super team and still doesn’t win a title I don’t see where the knock on him is tbt with regard to lebron.

If Lebron or AD gets injured, nothing is guaranteed. Nearly every team in the West is improving this season, and while the Warriors will downgrade for most of the season, they will still be a playoff team.

Again, if they get 3 max guys with mediocre bench, you think they make the playoffs with AD as their alpha if Lebron goes down.

Well that is a lot of ifs but yes I think its possible if all that happens but I don't think that is something you bet on happening.

If the team is relatively healthy all year, what is their peak in your opinion?

It is an all star caliber player. not an all star in one specific season. Please try to be more big picture.

So attempting to piece together CP3 and Butler is okay now, because that's not 3 all star caliber players...got it

That so easy it don’t even deserve a response. But I’ll give you one. The best player in the league who doesn’t make the all star team is certainly an all star caliber player. Especially when he has made it it prior years.
