LeBron left every team he played for when the championship window closed. Soon as he faced any adversity he ran. He's picked each situation to make himself look good and multiple superteams and still 4-6 lol. LeBron is the only star that has to have a perfect situation and if he doesn't his fans and klutch will say he has no help. LeBron helped ruin the game of basketball

‼️ Paul Pierce once said the 2024 Team USA would dominate the Dream Team:
"This 2024 team would dominate the 1992 team. First of all, Larry Bird couldn't play no more. He was done. Magic was done, pretty much. Who's their best player? Michael Jordan, clearly. But he wasn't even the best player in the Olympics, that was Charles Barkley.
Who's gonna guard LeBron? Charles Barkley? Style of play would have been too much for this Dream Team. Who's gonna guard Steph Curry? John Stockton?"

Michael Jordan once explained Larry Bird better than almost anyone ever has.

He said:

“Larry can’t jump, and he’s not quick. Sounds like a bad start, right? But you can’t increase your jumping ability or your quickness. He makes up for it by using his head, analyzing the opponent. It makes him better than the competition. Consequently, he doesn’t have a weakness.”

That’s what made Larry Bird so different.

He wasn’t built like Jordan.
He didn’t soar through the air like Dominique Wilkins.
He didn’t glide from the free-throw line like Julius Erving.

Larry’s game looked ordinary.

Until he destroyed you with it.

That’s why so many fans connected to him.

He played basketball in a way that felt human.

No superhuman speed.
No impossible athleticism.
No highlight-reel acrobatics every night.

Just footwork.
Timing.
Passing.
Shooting.
Trash talk.
And a basketball IQ that made everyone else look one step behind.

Bird understood something most players never do:

You don’t have to become somebody else to dominate.

He knew exactly what he could do… and he mastered every inch of it.

That’s why defenders kept underestimating him.

And that’s why they kept losing to him.

Larry Bird made 4 straight baskets on Dennis Rodman and walked over to Pistons head coach Chuck Daly. “Who’s guarding me, Chuck? Is anyone guarding me? You better get someone on me or I’m gonna go for 60.”

Recalling the game, the Worm said, “I would be all over him, trying to deny him the ball, and all Larry was doing was yelling at his teammates, 'I’m open! Hurry up before they notice nobody is guarding me!'”

After knocking down another jumper on Rodman, Bird went over to Daly again, saying, “Coach, you better get this guy out and send in somebody who’s going to D me up ‘cause it's too easy when I’m wide open like this.” 😏

Larry Bird Told a 7-Foot Russian He’d Dunk on Him and Did It
"We were roommates for eight weeks at the World Games. There was a big 7-foot-2 center from Russia. He was a really good player, and I’m sitting on the bench with Larry and he said, “When I get in the game, I’m going to tell this guy I’m going to dunk in his face.” As you well know, Larry doesn’t jump that well, so that was a little interesting. He gets in the game and starts talking to this guy. He told him he was going to dunk in his face, and by dang it, he got the ball, drove down the lane and dunked right in his face."
