you're missing my point entirely....Originally Posted by Im Not You
Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison were starters on a Wizards team that made the playoffs consecutively.
Somehow Damon Jones was a starter on a Miami Heat playoff team.
Wally was an all star and a starter on a playoff team
Ben Wallace obviously
Shaq
You mentioned Boozer
Off the top of my head those are Lebron's teammates that were starters on playoff teams. Obviously the list for starters in general on other teams would be a little bigger (Davis, Snow, Williams, etc.)
And for the record...Boozer is the best player Deron Williams has ever played with. Not much wrong with Utah as a franchise.
I'm not saying Lebron had a star studded cast around him. I'm just refuting your statements.
larry hughes and antwaan jamison were starters for a wizard team that made the playoffs in the east with barely .500 records and got bounced the first round....(they played together? i dont think so)
SINCE playing for the cavs, larry hughes has started for NOBODY
antwaan jamison is going to retire a Cav....who could antwaan jamison start for RIGHT NOW, TODAY?
Damon Jones started for the heat? had to be out of having literally nobody else to put on the floor, and again, they got bounced immediately. (he didnt even start for cleveland...EVER...so i find it hard to believe that, after they RELEASED him, he started for someone else..)
wally was a star and starter for a playoff team? yeah, A DECADE before he played with lebron. the year wally played for the cavs WHO WOULD HE HAVE STARTED FOR?
Since starting for the pistons, then the cavs, BEN WALLACE DOESNT EVEN PLAY BASKETBALL ANYMORE...THE 2 YEARS HE PLAYED IN CLEVELAND, WHO WOULD HE HAVE STARTED OVER? WHO CAN HE START OVER TODAY?
SHAQ???!?!?!?!?!
Boozer the best player Williams has played with? you see how successful utah has been, right?
look, dudes who were beasts 10 years before they played with Lebron do not count.
39-year old Shaq is not a star, nor is he a starter for ANY team in the nba EXCEPT the god-awful Cavs....
EVERY player you ARGUE were mere shadows of their former selves when coming to cleveland...EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM....
jamison, shaq, z, wallace, wally......out of all of them, shaq had the best career, NONE of them were even 10% as good as they were in their primes.
you're discussing these people like he got a 25-year-old wally, a 21 year old shaq, a 25 year old jamison and a 20 year old z...
he got these players when their RIDICULOUSLY HUGE contracts were expiring....the people who traded them away did so to get rid of a toxic contract...
you cannot be serious right now.
LOOK, if you dont agree with me, just say you dont agree, dont pull ridiculous statements out of your *#* like "these players were starters for playoff teams" when the teams youre referencing were a DECADE before the time we're discussing...
lebron was in elementary school when wally scerbiak was even DECENT....
when i said "name a CAVS player who could START for any other team in the nba"
i didnt mean 10 years before they played for the cavs
i mean IN THE CONDITION IN WHICH THEY PLAYED FOR THE CAVS
yall just trynna argue ANYTHING...
lets argue grammar next...
so Boozer was the only one given to me.....i said Ricky Davis on my own.
so, again, Lebron's best teammates were BOOZER and DAVIS?
Wasn't Mo a starter in Mil?
And Delonte a starter in Boston?
And Parker was a starter in Toronto, no?
I don't think the teams made the playoffs, but they were starters.
mo was the 2nd best player on the 3rd worst team in the NBA.....behind...MIKE REDD....
who could mo start for now? name a point guard who mo williams could WITHOUT QUESTION take their starting job....
no, delonte west NEVER started for boston....EVER....
im pretty sure anthony parker started in toronto like 7 years ago....the seasons leading up to him going to cleveland, he was coming off the bench....HE DIDNT EVEN START IN CLEVELAND....
and you're definitely right about NONE of those teams even coming CLOSE to playoffs...also, NONE of them were the best player on their respective teams.....Mo was the best, at 2nd behind MIKE REDD...WHO DOESNT EVEN PLAY BASKETBALL ANYMORE....
i like delonte west, i think he's one of the better players Lebron got to play with....but he was always injured or in legal trouble....or on the bench...
Wasn't Andre Miller a starting PG one year on Bron's team? Or was that before his time?
im not sure. but andre miller would be a 3rd person i could add to Boozer and Davis....and actually, he'd prolly be the best player.....although VERY limited....athletically.....
