Lol my post? Your post is whack.
I'll make this brief... there's a reason I'm on staff here, and it's because I don't write without a lot of analysis beforehand and a lot of trust from people reading. You might want to open your mind. I have a few minutes, let's break this down.
First of all big z was never a bruising post player. He was always more of a shooter and his athleticism sucked compare to cousins.
I was an intern in the Cleveland media Z's rookie year. His footwork in the post was always excellent. His shooting touch was always excellent. He was 7'3 and a two time All Star, for the love of God. He put aside a lot of his game to make the offense work better after LeBron was drafted, then his back started giving way later.
And to mention a 38 year old shaq is laughable. Lebron would have got along just fine with a non washed up version of shaq especially if lebron played the 4 next to him.
LeBron and Shaq got along as people, but LeBron hated playing with Shaq's style of play. He hated feeding the post and standing aside. I was on staff here at the time and heard it from a few sources. Now, LeBron has learned a lot since that season and he has accepted the idea that even stars need to move without the ball to make an offense work. But, Shaq was still efficient in the low post until Ben Wallace broke his thumb... and LBJ was a few months away from leaving the franchise. It wasn't working.
Bosh and love were and are power forwards, not bruising centers like draymond. Totally different styles of players and positions.
You just called 6'6 Draymond a bruising center while claiming 7 foot Bosh and Love - who has advanced stats showing clear evidence that he is efficient in the low block - are lesser than the mighty center Draymond Green. The key here is, Green is a perimeter oriented power forward on offense. That is exactly who LeBron meshes with on offense. I'm hoping you are just typing fast and regret this whole paragraph.
Lebron has never had a player like boogie.. And no an Injured 38 year old shaq doest count. Lebron gets along with Thompson on the court just fine.
Boogie as a physical specimen is absolutely unlike anyone LeBron has ever played with... but Boogie mentally reminds me of Drew Gooden. His decisions on the court are a big reason Sacramento never wins consistently. His penchant for getting techs, ejections, and generally being uncoachable make him a bigger red flag than Gooden, who was at least a nice guy for a mental midget.
Boogie, love, bosh, big z.... One of those players is not like the others.

Are you talking about winning basketball games? Yes, that does make the others different than Boogie.
