Jordan never really had to full on carry a team though either(at least not later in his career, when he was winning titles). He always had Pippen and other good role players to help shoulder the load.

That's true as well I guess. Still - I'm not convinced if LeBron James has "THAT" ability. Case in point(s):

-Kobe had a great supporting cast these past few years, but couldn't "carry" the team (ironically enough, the did won 3 straight championships when the Lakers built around Shaq).

-Garnett can't carry his team despite having a decent supporting cast

-Vince Carter couldn't do it.

-Grant Hill couldn't do it.

-Yao Ming can't do it.


I'm not sure what I'm trying to say here. In my view - only certain people have that "ability" to carry others.

In my opinion, a guy like MIKE BIBBY can do that. I guarantee that if the Sacramento Kings gave the ball of BIBBY more under pressure (in the playoffs) as opposed to Weber, they would have done better.


Tracy McGrady is another guy I'm high on. Hell - Allen Iverson is another guy who I think has "it". If someone could ever nurture and corral Iverson's talents and head, the guy would be unstoppable. IMO - Iverson would be better than Kobe Bryant.

Neither am I. Give Bron a few more seasons and we'll see where he ends up. Everyone seems to forget that this is only his 2nd year in the league.

Quite so. Also you can't really blame LeBron for the entire team being 'boring'. Plus let's face it BCWWF, you want him on the TWolves
