He does not have All-star help. Mo Williams is good, but not a perennial All-star talent for the sole fact that when his O game is off his entire game suffers. The once All-stars on the Cavaliers roster are just that and they are declining fast in Ben Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, and even Big Z.
It is also to no surprise that LBJ23's foil in the playoffs in the teams that eliminate him all happen to be teams with multiple versatile/all-around All-stars.
Take a look...
05-06 --- Lost in 7 to the Detroit Pistons... Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince (always gets snubbed from All-star games), and Rasheed Wallace.
06-07... Swept in the NBA Finals by the San Antonio Spurs... Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Emanuel Ginobili.
07-08... Lost in 7 to the Boston Celtics...Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen.
08-09... Lost in 6 to the Orlando Magic... Hedo Turkoglu, Rashard Lewis, and Dwight Howard.
Yes, Cavaliers have had their way with the Washington Wizards and that is a team normally of 3 All-stars that have been the NBA's highest scoring trio when all healthy for, like 5 years now. However, Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison, and Gilbert Arenas are offensively selfish All-stars and are not good distributors or defenders for that matter, which is why they have been Cavalier fodder for many years now.
Take a look at the Pistons, Spurs, Celtics, and Magic all those teams stars alternate and distribute their talents. Yes, their are faces of the franchise, like Billups, Duncan, Pierce, and Howard. Nonetheless, Hamilton led Detroit offensively and Wallace, Prince, and Billups chipped in and carried the defensive load. SA all of them can be the best player on the court cohesively as well as Boston and Orlando. In recent times the offensive assignment was carried out by Hedo and Shard and DH12's in paint domination chips in offensively, but more importantly sets the bar and standard for Orlando defensively.|||LeBron is selfish, getting assists doesn't mean that you aren't selfish. He passes when he is trying to pad his stats, you can tell when he is in pass mode, usually at the beginning of the game, and when he is in scoring mode. He usually starts out in pass mode, and once he gets his four or five assists, he starts firing up shots. Stats in the NBA are very misleading, I don't care about the assists that he gets, but when he gets the assists, his assists don't mean anything, they are nonconsequential to the game.
Looking at history, the only elite player to win a championship without a big man was MJ...even Magic had won his five rings with Jabbar. The Cavs have nothing in the middle. How did they expect to beat Orlando or LA without a big man?|||I don't think LeBron makes his teammates better. When you allow the media to **** all over your teammates and praise you for having a good game, that shows poor leadership skills. He needs a better coach.|||Yeah, he doesn't get enough help from his teammates.
Yes he got a good teammates but not as good as Celtics, Lakers and Magic.
Hopefully he'll get better teammates next year.|||If he wants to win a championship he should get a Veterans Minimum and sign with the Lakers. Now theres a GREAT organization with lots of championships. lol|||in that case... the lakers would have beaten them!
LO:former all-star. gasol:all-star kobe:all-star|||Yep it is, but i think you answered your own question.|||LBJ is gone in 2010!!! The city of Cleveland will crumble!!!|||Yes,because he doesn't have All Star help or something man.Let me see now,Mo is down in the hall playoffs,Big Z is no where.......
West would be better if he wasn't injured,Ben is old to help but he's doing a lot,Pavlovic should have been in the starting line up.He's the best defender that guarded Turkoglu and he can shot,score or dish.
I won't be shocked if i see LeBron seeking a team for a ring,i guess players like Nowitzki and Kidd who are lookin for a ring too will join him and will make a unstopable trio.With 2 triple dobule machines LeBron and Kidd,plus the scoring,clutch,rebounding and passing machine Nowitzki they could win at least 1 ring because they all deserve
