This quote, in my opinion, serves as one of the biggest reasons why I don't think I could ever put LBJ in the same discussion as Jordan/Bird/Magic/Kobe, etc.
"As much as I loved my teammates in Cleveland, I knew (beating Boston) wasn't something I could do by myself."
To me, the players who have dominated this league won with them being the main superstar and not really leaving to go team up with someone (even though Boston is a case you could make). I'll even put Reggie Miller in there even though he never won a title. At the end of the day, I believe LBJ was so hungry for a title that he (and Bosh too) felt like they couldn't do it with cast they had so they felt easiest way was to team up. *shrug*
Just my rant and opinion....LOL!
