It worked with LBJ because he was the GOAT. Otherwise...it's extraordinarily tough to win championships that way.

True. LeBron was a complete player. He orchestrated, had high IQ, scored, and would defend the opposing best player when it mattered and shut them down. Every guy on that list is missing at least one of those things.

He was supported with critical shots by Ray Allen and Kyrie Irving with Finals on the line. Jordan deferred on a couple of memorable occasions.

Guys like Luka and Harden just like having the ball.

Someone mentioned they wanted the post-game interviews. Here's one:

Ceiling guy. A very good or great player who puts a ceiling on your team success because “I am the system.”

Harden. Westbrook. Trae. Luka? Mitchell?

Going to be interesting to see how DM. If the momentum leaves then that you added dm to that group is probably correct

 

[Tlyons]

I think some of yall are forgetting Mitchell was still in the lineup when we started this string of 30+ assist games. That includes a 13 assist career high for Mitchell.

Im not worried DM offensively. My question is if he will contribute defensively. We won last night because the defense was incredible the second half.

Shhhhhh. You're going against the popular narrative that Mitchell is just a ball stopper who doesn't pass.

Harden. Westbrook. Trae. Luka? Mitchell?

Harden, Westbrook and Luka have all been to the Conference Finals.
That's not a bad ceiling... They all got beat by the GS Dynasty.
(like everyone else - including lebron 3 out of 4 times)

Trae is too tiny. He'll never win.

Mitchell.. that's "To Be Determined"
